Show notes

For the first episode of this new season, host Chidinma A is joined by Dr. Cassandre Dunbar for a conversation that feels like an embrace. With everything happening globally, from ongoing conflicts to economic uncertainty, it can feel like there’s always something to process, even whether you are directly or indirectly impacted. In this conversation, they explore what it means to exist in a constant state of awareness, and how the ongoing exposure to heavy news and stress can begin to show up in the body. From increased cortisol levels to dysregulated stress responses and long-term health impacts, Dr. Cassandre breaks down how this may be processed in the body. Together, they reflect on what it means to carry so much, often without realizing it, and how to begin checking in with the body more intentionally. The conversation closes with a thoughtful look at how to stay informed and empathetic, while also protecting mental and physical well-being. --- Connect with "But What Do I Know?"
