It's going to be OK, America

If today feels like a bit of a nightmare and you're finding yourself to be nursing a heavy political hangover, you're in good company.

You see, I went to bed last night at 1am thinking Hilary Clinton had it in the bag - as Florida seemed to be swaying her side - only to wake up at 7am to find Donald Trump confirmed to be the next President of the United States of America.

I couldn't believe it. I felt powerless. How could this be? How could the USA elect a man who's values are so far removed from what I make up to be the spirit of "the land of the free".

And very quickly I went from feeling powerless to feeling purposeful. Why? Because I believe that sometimes adversity is an invitation for us to step up and be of service. And I also believe that there's a way for us to stop this wave of nationalism spreading across the globe and it doesn't involve fear tactics.

It's time to dive in today's special episode on what the world looks like post USA 2016 elections.
