Things are changing all the time.

From the seasons,

To the weather, our emotions, and our relationships.

We are born, we grow old, and ultimately we die.

To walk through life means to walk hand-in-hand with impermanence.

It is simply part of what it means to be human.

And this season on the podcast we wanted to make these shared experiences of change and uncertainty a focal point of our larger conversation.

So for 3 episodes we are bringing together some of the great teachers, physicians, writers, and leaders of our time.

To reflect on how we might embrace impermanence rather than push it away.

From learning to relax into uncertainty,

To loosening the grip of control as we aspire toward what matters to us with less attachment to the outcome,

To opening up the possibility of appreciating the preciousness and beauty of being alive.

Last week we kicked off this series with world renowned meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg and palliative care physician and author, Dr. Sunita Puri.

Today, we are continuing with a deeply moving conversation between -

Legendary teacher, activist, and best selling author Parker Palmer

And

CEO Coach, and co-founder of leading executive coaching firm Reboot, Jerry Colonna.

Both Parker and Jerry have taught, written, and coached extensively on the topic of work - so today that’s where much of our conversation will go.

Some of the questions we'll explore include:

How might we lean into the dynamic ebb and flow of our work experience with greater levity, wisdom, and compassion?
What are the ways in which we can work in greater alignment with the imperatives of our soul?
And for those on the unconventional path how can we find the courage to keep going in the face of doubt and fear?
