This episode of Hug Nation is a soulful clip show drawn from recent live broadcasts, weaving together gratitude, humor, spiritual inquiry, and heartfelt reflection.

I share some simple but powerful partner practices Lisa & I use to deepen appreciation.

I also answer a listener’s question about beginning a spiritual “cleanse” after a difficult relationship, and reflect on why presence—more than fixing or striving—is often the most healing path forward.

Along the way, we explore why humor belongs on the spiritual path, how negativity can feel safer than vulnerability, and why expressing what you love is a radical act of courage. I also reads an except from my book, "Letter to Remind Myself Who I Want to be Today."
