I also share some things we can do to make peace with ourselves and our age wherever we are in our journey of life.
There seems to be quite a bit of uncertainty and fear in the air these days, economically and otherwise.

On this episode, I talk about some of the things that make uncertainty difficult and scary. I also share some specific things we can do to more effectively navigate it ourselves and support those around us.

Full Show NotesI spent this past weekend at a wonderful meditation retreat. Although I have had my own meditation practice for almost three decades and have been attending workshops of all kinds for years, this was the first time I’d been at a multi-day event like this. I found being in silence as much as we were to be both challenging and enlightening. There is so much power in silence, if we’re able to slow down and embrace it. On this episode I talk about the importance of going within and how we can live, work, and relate to others in a mindful and conscious way when we embrace silence.
