In this episode of No One Is Perfect: Unfiltered Conversations on Life’s Messiness, Christy and Marti explore what it means to live in a world that feels constantly activated. “The Nervous System in the Age of Outrage” is a grounded, compassionate conversation about how fear and unresolved pain can turn into projection, dehumanization, and the urge to make someone the enemy especially when we’re overwhelmed by current events and nonstop information.

Together, they reflect on the difference between staying informed and becoming consumed, and why emotional regulation is not passivity, it’s power. You’ll hear personal stories, honest moments of anger and tenderness, and practical tools like tapping and simple somatic resets to help you interrupt the outrage spiral, come back into your body, and reclaim your voice. The invitation is clear: you can stand for what matters to you without sacrificing your humanity, and you can choose kindness and curiosity without abandoning truth.

In this episode, we explore:

• How outrage dysregulates the nervous system and narrows perception
• The dehumanization process: when fear, shame, and anger get projected outward
• Why "certainty" can become a coping strategy—and a trap
• How unprocessed grief turns into bitterness, blame, or revenge fantasies
• Simple somatic + tapping practices to return to your body and speak from steadiness
• Choosing boundaries and clarity without adding to hatred or division
