"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", they say, and, as Rebecca would add, a belief in the possibility of completing the journey. In this conversation we explored each other's journeys and some notable stations along the way. These included depression, relationships, money, emotional regulation, and more. We also imagined ourselves walking over different terrains and seeing how it made us feel. Lastly, we touched on reaching old age, and thought about what's possible for us as a culture in that domain.Follow Rebecca on Twitter: @RebeccaMadison_ | Blog: Rebeccamadison.substack.comFollow me on Twitter: @Deep_Dive_Pod | @EyalShay2
