In this all-new episode of Shrinking Trump, Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Harry Siegel unpack the prevailing unease in America amidst Trump's looming second term. Joined by remarkable guest Rev. Konrad Ryushin Marchaj, we’ll discuss the intersecting paths of politics, psychology, and spirituality.

To kick things off, Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel revisit their reasoning for starting this show, which was to bring attention to Trump's cognitive and psychological decline. In today's shifting landscape, their focus has evolved to include the broader implications of a new Trump presidency.

And now, their mission is more clear than ever before: guiding our listeners through these unprecedented times with empathy and clarity.

Recent headlines, like those about Trump's unhinged nominees, have left many Americans with a growing sense of dread and fear. To combat this anxiety, Konrad introduces the concept of radical impermanence, which embraces change and nurtures a consciousness that thrives amid uncertainty. Drawing insights from Buddhism, he encourages our listeners to fully engage in life’s constant flux.

The Reverend also unveils some practical meditative and spiritual practices, and shares some personal stories as a testament to how mindfulness can serve as a powerful anchor amidst any uncertainty.

Dr. Siegel and Dr. Gartner also peel back the layers of radical acceptance, and invite our audience to join us for this transformative journey of awakening and adaptability, as we promote the pursuit of inner peace and balance.

We’ll see you next week, as our hosts continue to guide us through these unprecedented times.
