S5 23: Staying With What’s True

In this episode, Brooke and Jesie explore how moving with the current of life can allow questions of control and presence to emerge. How can we choose to be most softly present in each moment, even the ones that are difficult, for these are proof of life.  This week’s invitation: In the current that you’re in, see if you can find a moment where you can be present with what is true. Whether you find yourself in a really strong current or something more gentle notice a moment that makes you feel fully alive.
