In this episode, we focus on giving and receiving our hearts. Although heart isn't what we typically think of for giving and receiving, opening our hearts up and balance of giving and receiving allows us to experience deeper, more meaningful relationships, and greater joy and happiness.

"Opening our heart is the choice to risk and perhaps experience that our hearts are broken. Are we going to open and expose and take the risks, or are we going to go into survival mode and shut down and put on the tourniquet to our heart?" - Tommy Thompson
