This May, 2022 has been a moment of such stark global violence with people turning on each other, and particularly in the United States, the gun violence, mental health crisis, egregious attacks on rights, and so much more. There's just so much going on in our world that is violent. I appreciate you all allowing us to take a short break to finalize the content for this summer. What we have already recorded is profound and important, and we are so excited to bring it to you. But, in the meantime, I think we all need a little space in quiet. I know for me– as an Asian-American, as a woman, as someone in the queer community– it is a powerfully intersectional time, so we needed to take some time to rest and regroup and keep recording, and we are now back for June. If you were missing the HPP Podcast and in a need of some inspirational content, I'm going to link some playlists from our previous episodes that we found particularly inspiring.

Thank you again for allowing us this time, and we are excited to share what we have in store for you this June. Take care and be well.
