20. Balancing Personal Capacity with Global Citizenship: Staying Engaged Amidst Information Overload
May 14, 2024
Lisa McNees

I unpack the often overwhelming experience of grappling with personal responsibilities while being aware of global tragedies. I explore our collective struggle to process an incessant stream of information in an age where our global village presents us with both the immediate and the distant. I examine the concept of “capacity,” and how much we can hold in our emotional “trunk,” inviting listeners to ponder whether we've really adapted to the sheer volume of knowledge technology thrusts upon us.


I also ponder our capacity for service and compassion. Through personal anecdotes, I share how I've transitioned from feeling too burdened by the news to finding ways to contribute positively to issues that resonate with me. The conversation culminates in a powerful reminder of the importance of self-care and the many forms service can take—from focusing on family and work to volunteering. Tune in for an exploration of the delicate balance between maintaining personal well-being and fostering an informed, empathetic approach to global citizenship.
