TerraCycle claims to recycle the unrecyclable. But the company has been in the news recently amid claims that they don't truly recycle the items we dutifully send in; worse, their zero-waste boxes are expensive. Is TerraCycle legit, or are we just wasting our money?

Joy is Resistance

When the world is burning, finding joy can feel impossible—or worse, selfish. How do we make space for celebration without turning a blind eye to reality? Why would we even want to?

While it can feel like a heavy lift, practicing joy is, in fact, an act of resistance. Joy prevents burnout, moves energy, builds solidarity, and promotes resilience.

On today’s show, author Cheryl Leutjen dives into the idea that choosing delight counters the oppressive systems that thrive on our exhaustion, isolation, and apathy.

Here’s a preview:

[5:30] Are we dancing while the Titanic sinks?

[10:00] Grief and anger are essential catalysts for change, but they’re terrible long-term fuels

[18:00] Community is medicine. We aren’t meant to carry the weight of the world alone!
