58: Peace Is a Practice (with Morgan Harper Nichols)


Listen Later

With everything going on in our homes and our world, peace can seem out of grasp even on the best days. But as artist and poet Morgan Harper Nichols says, "You don't have to arrive at your picture-perfect life before you can know peace." Whenever Morgan speaks, we listen—you can see why, right? This week, Emily and Morgan talk about how to quiet your heart and find contentment, no matter where you are (even if it's somewhere you don't want to be). Morgan shares how receiving an autism diagnosis at 31 years old helped her understand and engage with the world—and herself!—in a deeper way. Above all, Morgan reminds us that peace isn't the absence of discomfort; it doesn't happen passively or something you get perfectly right. Peace is something you do, a practice you come back to over and over again.
