In the autumn of 2018, Rachel started teaching the WellBeing Project concepts inside a county jail in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This episode shares notes from one of those sessions — never meant to be public, written for a room of incarcerated men on a January morning.
What she found there was the same thing she finds everywhere: people trying to reconcile who they've been with who they could still become. The concrete walls just made it harder to look away.
There's also a story about karma and cat poop that you won't see coming.
And a closing reflection on cancel culture — because if you believe in people's capacity to change, that belief has to be unconditional. Or it isn't really a belief.
"Your freedom isn't when you get out of here. Your freedom is when you choose it."
