We consult Jon Oliver and the Dalai Lama, dive into the concept of Engaged Buddhism and non-fear, and then practice loving folks we don’t know.

We have a little talk about outrage fatigue and the “new normal” and how to stay awake. Plus, we all hold hands, I get inspired by Cher and then lead some breath-work to keep the fires stoked.
Get in touch with your feelings this episode as we talk about why it's alright to cry, including a special discussion of bad acronyms and some dad stuff. We also walk through a real technique for feeling all the feelings.
We talk a little bit about the mechanics behind why it can feel so helpless when people stop playing by the rules - and offer a simple guided meditation to keep you grounded when you're knocked off your feet.
This episode we discuss bad vibes and finding your way in the world. You can't always rage against the machine; sometimes you gotta rage for something. And right now, there's a lot to fight for. Follow a brief, guided meditation to help key in to your own intuition so you can stay calm and focused. Even on Not My President's Day.
We talk a little science and introduce a simple breathing technique to help reset and bring the body back to balance. Which is good, because we need balance so things like tweets from the maniacal administration don't throw us too far off our game.
All my thanks to the original, rockstar, stress response and yogic breathing guru, my teacher, Priti Robyn Ross.
