No Comfort Zones: Facing the Stories That Change Everything

This week, we’re stepping way outside our comfort zones—and inviting you to do the same. In this episode, Peter, Shaun, and Carissa drop the filters and dive into the headlines that keep us up at night: Trump’s sweeping new travel ban and its ripple effects on millions of families, the ongoing humanitarian crises in Gaza and Ukraine, and the relentless flood of anxiety-fueling news and social media trends.

We get real about what it means to stay informed without losing your mind, the guilt of tuning out, and the struggle to find hope when every headline feels heavier than the last. From the politics of immigration and the realities of war to viral TikTok trends and the wild world of “wellness” hacks, nothing is off-limits. Expect honest spirals, hard questions, and a few moments of much-needed humor as we unpack how these stories shape our lives—and why talking about them matters.

If you’re ready for a conversation that challenges what you think you know, pulls no punches, and reminds you you’re not alone in the chaos, hit play. This is Apocalypse & Avocados: No comfort zones, no easy answers—just the stories that change everything.
