The Duality of Life
Show Notes

Two things can be true at the same time, like a half full or half empty water glass.


I've seen my fair share of duality play out in palliative care where immense suffering can exist side by side with infinite love. And you can nurture this exact duality in your own life can help nurture more inner peace and comfort.

This is the paradox that, if mastered, could totally change the your experience of life.  

It's a muscle that can be strengthened just by practicing changing your perspective about your situation and recognizing where there are opposing forces in different aspects of your life, so you can hold space for all of it.


Tune in to hear how you can strengthen your ability to hold two opposing ideas to create more fulfillment in your life.
