We all have these most advanced, incredible bodies of infinite potential. When we lose our gratefulness, we lose sight of our infinite nature. Instead of seeing infinite possibilities, we see only obstacles. But when we are grateful for ourselves, we know we can overcome anything, that there is nothing that somebody else has that we do not possess in terms of our inner ability. Every single one of us wins.…
We live in a world that tells us we should always be happy.So we smile, say we’re “doing great,” and hide what we’re really feeling — even from the people closest to us. But what if this constant pressure to be happy is actually making things worse? In this podcast, we explore how forcing happiness, avoiding discomfort, and chasing pleasure can create more suffering, not less. You’ll learn why unhappiness…
This article is part of the ongoing Meditation for All challenge. Subscribers to the free newsletter receive weekly guidance and a daily practice.

News addiction, unlike most addictions, is one that we think we should have. We think it's important that we stay on top of the news and that we stay informed on what's going on in the world. We are taught from a very early age that it's important and necessary to read the daily news or check in on what's going on in the world. Today, with 24-hour news channels…
We think we see the world as it is. But we see the world as we interpret it to be, and that interpretation is everything. If we see a picture in the newspaper, and it is a woman crying in front of a burned house, and the caption says, “Woman saved by neighbor,” and we read that and realize this is a happy moment, this isn't a tragic loss. But…
When a role ends — a job, a marriage, a season of parenthood, a version of yourself you carried for decades — it can feel like you are losing part of who you are. But the suffering does not come from change itself. It comes from attachment to what was never meant to last. This podcast episode is about how to let go of old identities, stop clinging to impermanent…

Subscribers to the free newsletter receive weekly guidance and a daily practice.A lot of people tell me they have a hard time sitting still and meditating.

A few years ago, I was driving to Michigan to go to my best friend's wedding when I got a call a few hours out of town that there was a fire. I got a call from this fireman, and he asked if I lived in the unit where the fire was. I told him no. And he said, “Okay, good, good, good.” Then he called back and said, “I…
Watching someone we love suffer can be one of the most painful experiences in life. Often, it’s even harder than dealing with our own suffering. It becomes especially difficult when the person we love is contributing to their own pain — repeating harmful habits, resisting help, or undermining their own healing. We want to fix it. We want to save them. We want to change them. But the truth is…
Feeling stuck is one of the most common human experiences. But what if the problem isn’t your job, your city, your relationship… or your circumstances? In this podcast, we explore why change doesn’t always create freedom — and how the mind can quietly trap us in the same patterns no matter where we go.
