“I can’t handle all this emotion, bro.” - Mo Amer, Writer, Producer, and Comedian.

Tell me about it.

Last week, when I wrote about what it means to push, not pull, it included showcasing the stories that bring to life our humanity.

I’ve spent the last several weeks hearing from friends and community members – from corporate C-suiters to startup founders to content creators and more.

What I’ve heard so clearly is that exact humanity, brought to life through our emotions and stories – our experiences.

We’re collectively going through it.

What many of us may not realize though is that the more we engage with the chaos around us, the more it chips away at the surface. Amer explores this theme in his latest effort through his series, Mo.

Let’s be real. Who among us hasn’t found ourselves doomscrolling through what feels like an endless flow before catching ourselves? It’s easy to get drawn in, but it’s up to each of us to draw the line for ourselves. It’s time to stop the doom.

Where can we focus our energy and efforts?

What we need is sanctuary – a space where we’re not only safe from harm, but a space where we’re stronger, by locking arms. That connection with each other fortifies us and our communities.

👉🏽 So, here’s my question for you this week: where’s your sanctuary, and how do you find it – or work with others to build it?

In Amer’s case, part of his sanctuary is in closing the chapter on his series and taking a beat to replenish his energy. It’s not what the fans want, and it’s not what the conventional wisdom would suggest, but it’s what he needs right now.

👉🏽 What do you need right now?

👉🏽 What does it look like for you?

👉🏽 Will you actually find it?

Maybe your sanctuary is in moving closer to balance. Maybe it looks like being in community with your people – your ride or dies. Maybe you’ll find it in a space where you can connect authentically with yourself and with them.

Maybe you’re not sure about the answers to any of these questions. If that’s where you are, that’s ok.

Tell me about it.
