Listen Later

In this episode, Khalila sits down with Edie Weinstein — writer, speaker, interfaith minister, and the beloved “Hug‑Mobster.” Edie shares what surviving a heart attack at 55 taught her about slowing down, listening to her body, and choosing compassion. She also reminds us how powerful a simple, intentional hug can be.

If you’re needing encouragement, connection, or a reminder to care for yourself as you care for others, this conversation is for you.
