In this episode, we’ll explore how to find joy by connecting with what feels natural to us as individuals. We’ll look at Buddhist teachings about joy and suffering and how they’re both part of our experience. Instead of avoiding pain or chasing pleasure, we’ll talk about being present with it all.

I'll guide you through a heart meditation and share my own experience of finding joy in life.

We’ll also talk about:

• Letting ourselves cry is a way to release emotions


• Figuring out what’s truly natural for us versus what we’re told is “normal”


• Trusting our own instincts instead of always seeking outside advice
