Love is such a beautiful topic to discuss and oftentimes everyone is looking for some version of it. Love that comes from a significant other, a family member, or even friends can move us to action and creates motivation throughout our lives, but what does it truly mean to give and receive love? Here this week to give us a different perspective on the meaning of love is Seemi Rizvi. Seemi was raised in Pakistan, and came to the United States in an arranged marriage. Hear how she found love, fought for her children, and became a henna artist that paints based on the energy she feels within others.

“I wonder....?” Do you remember being a child and asking that question on a daily basis? Think back to when your entire existence was based upon wondering how things happen, why, and what if? We lived in a constant state of wonderment, which led us to gain incredible amounts of knowledge in such a short time. Just think of what you learned from year one to year ten of your life! That wonder also sparked joy, creativity, and innovation. All of which makes life so much more rewarding!

Get ready to feel so much wonder + delight with the newest episode of The Socratic Dialogues starring Aaron Grayum. We discuss the topic of wonder and how it may just be the most important thing your life is missing if you have let wonder disappear in adulthood.
