Overwhelm, Care, and a Conversation with Katie Mueller

Our hosts Kimberly Wagner and Marvin Wickware tackle a series on Overwhelm. How do we anchor ourselves while caring for trauma in the midst of trauma? What strategies do we turn to? And what joys do we turn to in order to nurture ourselves? Whether it's travel, baking and making croutons with the mistakes, or reading Star Wars books and playing video games, we cannot ignore care for self and others. Our call is important. So is our care.

Our guest today is 2nd year M.Div LSTC student Katie Mueller, who brings compassionate skepticism, laughter, and a deep commitment to our ecological interconnections to her studies and life.
