Our brain has a remarkable capacity to make up stories based on facts to help us make sense of the world and help us make decisions. The problem is, sometimes, those narratives are not always the ones we need to take action and move in the direction we want to go. In a sector as intense as humanitarian aid, no one needs more unecessary, stress, solely added on by our brain. The skill of auditing our own narratives, defining clearly which ones serve our purpose and which ones don't, and deciding deliberately which ones we want to keep choosing, can make the biggest in your life and in the humanitarian sector as a whole. This episode shows exactly how to do just that, step by step. 

Against a background of conflict escalations and continued violations of international (humanitarian) law, this episode focuses on how to deal with grief, hopelessness and helplessness. It offers four concrete ways to step out of despair and continue to be a force of positive change in the world.
