Tracy Cochran is a writer, meditation teacher, and editorial director of Parabola, an acclaimed quarterly magazine that draws on the world's cultural and wisdom traditions to explore the questions that all humans share. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Psychology Today, O Magazine, and New York Magazine to name a few. Her latest publication is her book Presence: The Art of Being at Home in Yourself.

In our conversation Tracy and I talk about owning the gifts and limitations of our presence, her daughter's precocious question about Thich Nhat Hahn, the Buddha's grief, and so much more.
