Ep. 257: Judgment vs Curiosity

This week’s topic is all about judgment and discernment. We can often default to judging situations and people, especially if we’ve been through trauma and we’re on the lookout for threats. Add to this a history of being gaslit, and it gets even harder to trust our inner wisdom. But understanding the difference between judgment and discernment can completely change how we respond to life and to other, making it more compassionate, expansive and creative.. The good news is that cultivating discernment is possible. In this episode, we dive into a practice that helps you do exactly that.

Ep. 253: Forgiveness and the Art of Beginning Again

This week’s episode is all about forgiveness as a practice, and beginning again (and again).
