Episode notes

Lumona says there are special people who come into our lives, but i don't think we have to marry them. Love is built around two things: being accepted by a partner who knows you despite your shortcomings and commitment to personal growth in the other person as well as yourself. We can fall in love with lots of different people - it's of that group of people that we want to choose which weve got the best chance of having a rewarding, lifelong relationship with.

As the year draws to a close and the collective mood turns reflective, we asked you—our listeners—to pick moments from the first season that stuck with you and inspired you. In today’s episode, we yield the floor in gratitude and compiled some of those insights that resonated most with our community. From psychologist Guy Winch’s thoughts on strategic discomfort to poet Sarah Kay’s meditations on compassion, tune in for an eclectic collection of ideas to set you on that path toward becoming a better human in 2022.
