Reset with Liz Tran

The Buddhist belief in Karma states that all good action bears good fruit, and all negative action produces negative fruit, but what do we make of our current world where toxic people like Trump can still succeed?  Why do good things happen to bad people? Why do bad people like Derek Chauvin get away with terrible behavior unpunished? In this episode, we try to make sense of it all by tethering to a beautiful quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr - "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." 

2020 has made it easy to feel hopeless, anxious, fearful and self-critical. In this episode, we talk about strategies for pulling yourself out of Rock Bottom, and why challenges mean that joy is right around the corner.

How often have you chased down a relationship, a job, or a goal, only to feel exhausted and no closer to getting what you want? The problem with our culture is that it doesn't value RECEIVING. We are taught to use only determination and hard work to get what we want. In this episode, Liz shares how to let your goals find their way to you by learning to receive.
