LaRayia Gaston on How to Radiate Love and Reawaken Our Innate Desire to Make a Difference

If you want to meet a real life earth angel, LaRayia Gaston is one (@larayia). LaRayia is an activist, author, documentary filmmaker, and founder of the nonprofit Lunch On Me. Jade and LaRayia spend this week’s episode talking about LaRayia's passion for helping the homeless, how to create love in your life even if you’ve never experienced it before, finding peace through grief after the death of her mother, and how she spent 43 days living on Skid Row with nothing but the clothes on her back. 

They unpack the judgment surrounding poverty in the United States, the importance of allowing yourself to fall apart, the connection between depression and being of service, and actionable ways for us to show up for our communities in real life.
