🎙️ Woke-ish Wednesday | Sassy Politics with Christi Chanelle
Release Date: 04/24/25
Episode Title: This Is Terrifying, But I’m Doing It Anyway

✨ Episode Summary:
“The only wrong thing is staying silent.”
Whew. That one hit me hard—and it might hit you too.

In this episode, I’m sharing what political fear really feels like, especially when you're an anxious, introverted human who hates calling strangers, let alone senators. But here’s the truth: the world doesn’t need more polished voices—it needs more real ones. And if you’ve ever thought, “Who am I to speak up?”—this one’s for you.

You’ll hear:
💥 My personal story of getting past paralysis and sending that first email
📬 How to write your own email (no phone calls required!)
🗳️ Where to find your local reps—yes, even city-level
❤️ And the reminder that being awkward, afraid, or unsure doesn't disqualify you from showing up—it qualifies you to lead in your own powerful way.

We are awkward activists. And we’re rising—together.
