When confronted with the realness of our lives, how we choose to respond matters. It’s no easy feat to turn toward suffering when the world around us gets messy. However, when we open ourselves to love, we create a current of empathy that can lead us, and others, to community, connection, and healing. In this episode, our friend and teacher Sharon Salzberg returns to discuss her latest book, "Real Life: The Journey from Isolation to Openness and Freedom". Sharon reflects on how her COVID experience helped shape the book, and she shares how she found inspiration and connection in unexpected places during that time. The pair consider what it means to truly engage with real life, and explore the transformative potential of embracing challenges with courage, love, and openness. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!
