How Can We Show Up When the World Hurts

Living on Purpose in Trying Times

Dear beautiful souls,

Everywhere we look, the world feels like it’s unraveling—wars, injustice, division, massive deportations, human suffering. The worst versions of humanity are amplified and repeated, as if we are trapped in a cycle of forgetting.

But none of this is new.

History repeats itself until it heals—until what’s been hidden in the shadows is finally brought into the light.

Just like in our personal lives, the same wounds, fears, and patterns will keep showing up until we finally pay attention, until we choose to break the cycle, until we do the work to heal.

Right now, we are living through a defining moment. The pain, the fear, the division—it’s all real. And yet, so is the power we hold in how we respond.

Because let’s be honest: There are people in this country who are watching these events unfold with satisfaction. They believe that what’s happening is justified. That those suffering are simply facing the consequences of their existence.

And so, in moments like this, I turn inward and ask myself:

How do I want to show up?

What does it mean to live on purpose when the world feels heavy and wounded?

I don’t have all the answers -- but I know this:

I refuse to be paralyzed by despair. I refuse to let fear or hopelessness shrink my spirit.

So, I’m doubling down.

On myself.On my purpose.On what truly matters.

Here’s how I’m choosing to show up—to be part of the shift I want to see:

Double Down On Getting SUPPORT

I am investing in myself—financially, spiritually, mentally, physically. I’m seeking guidance, leaning on my mentors and teachers, and outsourcing what I can so I can focus on what I do best. This is not the time to move alone. I refuse to walk this path in isolation.

Double Down On My CREATIVITY

I am unleashing my creative energy—writing, expressing, building offerings that serve in deeper ways. Creativity is not just about making things. It is a force, a portal to new ways of thinking, healing, and existing. When the world feels dark, creation is an act of defiance. I refuse to let mine sit dormant.

Double Down On LIVING INTENTIONALLY

I am in my third act of life. At 52, I may have 20 years of a strong, clear, healthy mind—years where I can move with energy, create, travel, love, and fully live. And after that? I don’t know. But what I do know is this: I refuse to wait. I refuse to postpone joy, adventure, and purpose for “one day.” I have 20 summers ahead of me, and I intend to enjoy every single one. Not later. Not tomorrow. Now.

Double Down On COMMUNITY

Unity exists in community for a reason. But in today’s world, too many of us are isolated—still carrying the weight of pandemic-era loneliness, still existing in silos of disconnection. The loneliness epidemic is not just personal; it is collective. And yet, connection remains the most radical form of healing. I refuse to let isolation become my reality. I am choosing collaboration, shared spaces, deeper relationships. We are not meant to do this life alone.

Double Down On More LOVE & EMPATHY

If there is one thing I know for sure, it’s this: love and empathy are what will heal us—at least, those willing to receive and extend it. I want to love more. To be more generous with my time, my presence, my energy. With my family, my friends, my clients, my community—and even strangers.

The world doesn’t need more division. It needs more people willing to see and hold one another with care. And I am choosing to be one of them.

Now, I turn this to you:

How will you show up in this moment?

What will you do differently to be the change you want to see?

Because we can’t wait for the world to shift before we take action. We are the shift.

Where Healing Begins

In moments like these, personal healing becomes collective medicine. The deeper we go within, the more prepared we are to meet the world with clarity, compassion, and purpose.

As a spiritual guide and mentor, I believe that the path to transformation starts by returning to the body, to the breath, and to ancestral wisdom. Practices like energy cleansing, ancestral healing, and holistic integrative coaching aren’t just tools—they’re lifelines. They help us clear what isn’t ours, release what no longer serves us, and return to the truth of who we are.

If the world feels heavy, know that you’re not alone. You don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Wellness doesn’t mean ignoring the pain—it means having the tools and support to move through it with grace.

You are allowed to be supported. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to heal.

If you know someone who might benefit from this message, please feel free to share and amplify it.

WITH LOVE,

Hasani
