In a new flavor of episode I'm calling "Tuesdays with Tashi," I'll be having recurring conversations with one of my dearest advisors & friends: Buddhist Monk Tashi Nyima. Piece by piece, I hope to share with you some of the most fundamental advice on existence I've learned from years of studying with him. 

Our first episode was Help With Despair Over The State of the World. This episode's advice is all about generosity--(a key ingredient of help with that despair, by the way).

To be clear, this is not some passive-aggressive way of asking you for more donations to the podcast! It is a conversation that emerged because your generosity truly inspired me. I was also humbled by how hard it was for me to ask for help without feeling guilty or ashamed. So I wanted to talk with Tashi about the power of generosity, and how we can both receive and give more freely and genuinely. As always, his advice was practical, warm, and inspiring. 

Thank you again so much to everyone who's donated to my Venmo @rachel-krantz, or reached out with words of encouragement. Your generosity has inspired me and this conversation.
