Prolific author and poet, Diego Perez, aka Yung Pueblo, sits with Lindsey for this special episode on the powers of meditation, living in partnership, the creative process, and so much more. We also talk about Lighter, his new book, inspired by the feeling of shedding weight and past traumas he’s experienced through his advanced meditation practice.

Diego shares some great wedding tips and explains how he and his wife go ten, sometimes forty-five, days at a time without seeing or speaking to one another at meditation retreats – and how finding the practice has changed his worldview forever.

It might sound cliche, but this conversation will leave you feeling lighter. Diego’s words and deep wisdom, especially outside of the questionable confines of social media (which we also unpack), are powerful and resonant.
