How to Stay Informed of the News without Anxiety or Cynicism :: Kathleen Wadkins [Ep 545]

How to Stay Informed of the News without Anxiety or Cynicism :: Kathleen Wadkins [Ep 545]

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Kathleen from The Pour Over, a news outlet known for delivering the world’s biggest headlines with clarity and Christian perspective. We unpack the emotional weight of our 24/7 news cycle, especially in a world where social media pulls on your emotions and algorithms scream, “Why aren’t you talking about this?”. Moms are expected to stay informed, care deeply, and somehow shield their kids from the fear and confusion that often comes with breaking news. Here are some of the topics we cover:

  • How to talk to your kids about heavy headlines without additional fear
  • Discernment in the age of social media and video “evidence”
  • Monitoring your time consuming the news — and its effect on your mood
  • Staying informed while still showing the fruits of the Spirit
