Heather Robles: Reclaiming aliveness
Heather Robles gently beckons us out of the numbness we might have slipped into as the world feels so hard right now. What do we desire and how can desire and curiosity awaken and guide us forward towards joy?
You'll notice this episode has no background music. I didn't need or want that sound to cover Frijolito's snoring!
