Calmer in 5

1757: How Diverse Friendships Lead to Greater Calm


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I explore the powerful impact that having diverse friendships can have on our sense of calm. When we surround ourselves with people of different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, we expand our empathy and reduce our tendency to judge. These connections challenge our assumptions, foster greater understanding, and ultimately help us move through the world with more kindness and compassion—two essential ingredients for a calmer life.

Thanks for Listening! If this episode helped you see your day in a different light, consider sharing it with someone who might be needing a dose of calm.
