I'm joined by one of my favorite spiritual teachers, Mark Nepo, for a conversation that will change how you relate to fear, pain, and your own journey. We explore how to keep your heart open when life gets hard, why we must learn to "blossom and not strive," and the profound truth that we all belong to each other. If you're longing to live a more porous, courageous, and authentic life, this episode is a deep drink of soul medicine.
