In this episode: Karma as cause and effect, not judgment or blame

What if the difficulties we resist most are actually doing important work on us?

In this opening episode of Season Two, Debra explores challenge as a teacher—not as punishment, not as something we “deserve,” but as part of a larger unfolding that often only makes sense when we zoom out in time.

Drawing on ideas of karma, ancestral patterns, humility, and lifelong learning, this spoken-prose reflection looks at how distressing events—personal and collective—can be understood through a wider lens of cause and effect.

This episode invites listeners to soften resistance, observe their reactions, and meet life’s challenges with curiosity rather than anger or despair.
