160. Elizabeth Lesser: How difficult times can help us grow.

Hey, friends! I’m so excited for you to hear today’s chat with the fantastic Elizabeth Lesser. Elizabeth is the author of several bestselling books, including Cassandra Speaks, Broken Open, and Marrow. She’s also the cofounder of Omega Institute, which is recognized internationally for its workshops and conferences in wellness, spirituality, creativity, and social change. She has given two popular TED talks and is one of Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul 100, a collection of a hundred leaders who are using their voices and talent to elevate humanity. In today’s episode, we’re talking about… Why we’re all bozos on the bus How we can fully become alive Why remaining in a tight bud can be more painful than taking the risk to bloom The power of meditation How it takes courage to turn in and face what wants to change within you How being human is to be lost in the woods What happens when we stay awake during life changes Why problems are messages Why medicating grief is not the answer Why it’s hard to ask for help …and so much more!

How can I transcend grief? Why can’t I stop overthinking? What can I eat to beat depression? How can I thrive during stress?
