Episode notes

"I find it frustrating that I have to use words to tell you why your work is important," she says. "Maybe we're just getting started like maybe there's just so many other ways of communicating." She recalls a moment at her mom's birthday when everyone did the Mona dance instead of toast.

Morgan Harper Nichols is here today to help us – finally! – breathe deep and pay attention:

What the hell is this elusive “peace” anyway?
How to create your own peace practice
How she has found a truer way to communicate than words
How her adult autism diagnosis helped her finally set boundaries
Concrete strategies to find peace even in chaos

Plus, she helps us understand why we don’t need to add “Presence” to our to-do list: It’s already right here.
