Preparing our Election Day Mindset
How to Stay Centered, Loving, and Grounded—No Matter What Happens
Election Day? It can stir up everything. Fear. Hope. Anger. Anticipation. Exhaustion. It’s like the emotional Olympics for the soul. Whether you’re deeply invested in politics or trying your best to hold onto your peace in a noisy world, this moment matters—and it can feel heavy.
In this episode of The Freq Show, Jaclyn and Sam sit down for a heart-to-heart that feels like the grounding breath we all need right now. Over warm coffee and real talk, they unpack the emotional weight of Election Day and offer something truly rare: not just perspective, but peace.
Because this isn’t just about politics. It’s about how we choose to show up in uncertain times. It’s about who we want to be in the middle of the tension. It’s about remembering our power—not just to vote, but to live, lead, and love from a higher frequency.
So if you’ve been holding your breath about what’s coming, this one’s for you. Let’s exhale together.
Living Awake, Not Anxious
Jaclyn opens the conversation with such care, reminding us that it’s okay to feel all the things right now. This isn’t a call to spiritual bypassing or pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. This is about choosing presence. About being awake in your life, even when it’s messy, even when it’s hard.
Because here’s the truth: Your peace is powerful. Your presence matters. And what we build in uncertain times can become the foundation for real, lasting change—not just in the world, but in us.
What If Your Mindset Is the Message?
Sam brings his signature grounded wisdom here, gently pointing out that how we carry ourselves through Election Day might speak louder than who we’re voting for. That’s not to say your vote doesn’t matter—it absolutely does—but the energy we bring to this moment matters too.
Are we showing up with fear or faith? Division or curiosity? Anxiety or groundedness?
That doesn’t mean you have to feel zen all the time (who does?). But it does mean we can come back to what’s true. We can pause. Breathe. Ask, “What kind of energy am I bringing into my home today? My conversations? My work?”
Your mindset is contagious. Let it carry love.
When the Noise Gets Loud, Go Inward
It’s so easy to get swept up in the news cycle, the group texts, the tweets, the what-ifs. But Jaclyn and Sam offer a gentle reminder: You don’t have to let the noise lead your nervous system.
You can opt out of panic culture.
You can light a candle, take a walk, make soup, pray, journal, cry, call a friend—whatever brings you back home to yourself. You can protect your peace like it’s sacred. Because it is.
This isn’t a one-time mindset fix. It’s a rhythm of coming back to center, again and again. Especially when the world feels off-balance.
What Happens After the Results?
Okay, deep breath: we don’t know what’s going to happen on Election Day. No podcast or post or spiritual practice can guarantee an outcome. And that’s hard. But Jaclyn reminds us—beautifully—that no matter what the results are, we still get to choose who we are the next morning.
We still get to be kind. To create beauty. To care for our neighbors. To raise good humans. To speak truth with tenderness. To rest. To build. To believe in something better.
The frequency we hold after the election? That might be the most important part of all.
Gentle Reminders for Election Season
Here are a few mindset anchors from Jaclyn and Sam to carry with you through this time:
Your value is not defined by your political opinions.
You can care deeply without spiraling emotionally.
Silence doesn’t always mean apathy—it might mean self-preservation.
You’re allowed to rest.
You’re allowed to hope.
Peace is a posture. Practice it.
Final Thought
If no one’s told you yet—Jaclyn would want you to hear this loud and clear—you’re doing so well. Even when it feels messy. Even if you don’t know what to say. Even if you’re holding fear in one hand and faith in the other.
Preparing your Election Day mindset isn’t about pretending everything’s okay. It’s about choosing how you’ll move through the tension. It’s about showing up with soul. With softness. With strength.
And maybe… just maybe… it’s about realizing that you’re not alone.
We’re in this together. And we get to build something beautiful—no matter what.
Keep your frequency high. Stay close to what matters. And don’t forget to breathe.
You’ve got this.
Live on purpose. Live on frequency.
