Ever notice how quick we are to label things as "good" or "bad"? In this episode, we dive into the principle of maybe—the idea that life isn’t so black and white, and that our culture has created these labels that don’t necessarily serve us. This repost felt especially relevant this week. As we navigate feelings of success or failure with the election, it’s a reminder that there’s a bigger picture at play, one we can’t fully see or understand. So, how can we choose to operate from peace and kindness in our present moment, letting go of rigid labels and embracing the maybe?
