We Can Do Hard Things

225. How to Find 5 Seconds of Peace with Morgan Harper Nichols


Listen Later

Morgan Harper Nichols is here today to help us – finally! – breathe deep and pay attention: 


  • What the hell is this elusive “peace” anyway?
  • How to create your own peace practice
  • How she has found a truer way to communicate than words 
  • How her adult autism diagnosis helped her finally set boundaries 
  • Concrete strategies to find peace even in chaos 

  • Plus, she helps us understand why we don’t need to add “Presence” to our to-do list: It’s already right here.
