We recorded this episode on Sun. May 31, 2020, which marks our 80th day of self-quarantine during the global COVID-19 pandemic, and also the first week of historic widespread protests against police brutality and systemic racism in the United States.

We discuss:

• your point of view affects how you feel

• activism looks different for everyone

• present day events can activate feelings about the past

• quitting coffee (?!)

• simple kindness means more during dangerous times

• what our soul values vs. what we’re pressured to value

• really living while you’re still alive

• “practical” vs. “beautiful”

• practical and beautiful are not mutually exclusive

• creating beauty is an act of defiance and strength; it’s what love looks like

• healing gifts from nature: flower essences, lavender oil, deep conscious breathing, water, meditation
