With this week’s quote from Joanna Macy, Veronica guides us in considering the upside to feeling collective pain. From the climate crisis to the fight for social justice, we are immersed in the pain of the world due to our interconnection. Pretending that’s not the case might save us from some of this pain, but also isolates us from life’s loving flow.

In this podcast, Veronica turns our attention to the beauty that comes with that connection by growing into pain and allowing vulnerability to strengthen us collectively. In the end, this quote affirms our resilience rooted in hope, love, and belonging.
