In this episode, after several takes (haha), Leslieann talks about how our mindset affects our physical health, how we can lean into the fear and get curious about it – what lies there beneath the fear? What can we learn about ourselves when we embrace our fear and ask it questions like we would a new friend? She also invites us to take time to pause, take inventory of what really matters to us, and to extend compassion, kindness and care for others. // Hafiz’s poem “That Lamp That Needs No Oil” from The Gift and Jacob Saenz’s poems “Evolution of my Block” from The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-hop // California retreat (Aug 5-9, 2020) info: suryagian.com/petaluma-retreat (YES!
