In This Interview, Spring Washam and I Discuss Deep Transformation and…

Her book, A Fierce Heart: Finding Strength, Courage, and Wisdom in Any Moment
Balancing action and contemplation
Focusing on what you are fighting for (not just what you’re fighting against)
Her constant, daily practice of forgiveness
Uprooting greed, hatred, and delusion to heal her heart and mind
Her profound experiences of interconnectedness
Why she takes things far less personally now but still feels the pain of life
The deep shift in the heart that transforms someone into an antiracist
Her Sunday program: The Church of Harriet Tubman & The Underground Railroad Crew
Connecting to our ancestors and learning from history
How no one is exempt from the 10,000 joys and the 10,000 sorrows of life
The way faith in a bigger, loving force can lead to beautiful transformation when pain in life happens to us
The lawful unfolding of the universe
Waking up to our innate Buddha nature
Transforming difficulty into growth
Giving our suffering meaning for transformation
Dropping into the body to feel the energy and find the blocks in the heart
Getting curious when we feel triggered
Being afraid of our feelings blocks our transformation
Meeting our numbness with loving self care
Developing self-compassion and compassion for others
Separation being at the core of many of our wounds
That our whole journey is about letting go
