The fruit is kindness, but the seed is understanding: increased metabolism for knowledge is sustenance for the brain. 

Breaking the silence after an unanticipated hiatus.

I jump back into the things unseen in this episode, discussing how the polyvagal theory is alive and affecting our day-to-day interactions; why that matters, and what we can do about it. I share my testimony of healing through connection and surrender, drawing on examples from nature, including how even the trees need community and the power of speaking life.
