When "Business as Usual" Feels Impossible.

The world feels heavy right now. Between the headlines and the household, it’s easy to feel like you’re just screaming into the void. On this episode of The Realty Check Podcast, we’re stepping away from the housing market stats to have a heart-to-heart about the state of our country and our lives.

As Sacramento parents and business owners, we’re navigating the same "unprecedented times" you are. How do we keep the lights on and the kids happy when the political climate feels like a constant storm?

In this episode, we discuss:

The Mental Load: How we manage the anxiety of the 24-hour news cycle while running a business.

Parenting with Purpose: Navigating tough conversations with our kids without passing on the burnout.

Finding Your Frequency: Ways to get involved in your community at a "risk level" that feels sustainable for you.

The Light in the Dark: We share some of our favorite poems and content creators who are providing clarity and hope right now.

This isn't just a political chat; it’s a survival guide for the modern American.

Grab a coffee (or something stronger) and join us for some much-needed perspective.
