In a world filled with noise, negativity, and constant overwhelm, how do we make space for joy, wonder, and the quiet goodness still around us?

In this episode, I explore the deeply human experience of forgetting and remembering the beauty of being alive. From our innate negativity bias to the transformative power of awe, we reflect on how to stay open-hearted even when the world feels heavy.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected or dulled by life’s demands, this is an invitation to return to what matters.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why our brains are wired to notice what’s wrong and how to shift toward what’s right
• How nature can help rekindle creativity, calm, and connection
• What aesthetic chills are and how awe can expand your sense of the sacred
• Why celebrating small daily victories can actually build resilience
• a lovingkindness practice to stay inspired and soften your view of others (and yourself).
