The Point of Pain

It has been an intense couple of weeks. With the crisis in India it has been devastating to see the lack of care and support from the government in India and from the wellness industry. It has been devastating and for those of you who are interested and able, there are so many ways you can offer support. If you're able to donate, The Desai Foundation has been doing a lot to get resources to rural areas that need it the most and even if you're not able to offer support financially, sharing about this issue and holding people accountable really helps. In this very dark time, the truth is that the main thing that is keeping me afloat and bringing me joy is the Chronicon Community. That's why today's Community Spotlight episode is so special to me. For this episode, I am so honored to sit down with one of our community members, Jessi Lane. Jessi and I talk about her story, the ups and downs with her health, how she found the Chronicon Community, how the community has been supportive for her, what it means to be ready to show up for the life you want, and so much more!

One week ago I had my 40th birthday and coming up to that big milestone brought up so many feelings and reflections for me. Whatever age you might be, we all go through things in our lives that make it hard for us to feel like we can fully accept ourselves. As I looked back at the past four decades, I realized that I've learned a lot about what acceptance looks like for me. Wherever you are on your acceptance journey, I really hope that this episode will be supportive for you and help you to see that you're not alone in your journey. In this episode, I share the biggest lessons I've learned on the road to 40, how my childhood experiences affected my lack of self-acceptance, how my perspective on relationships has changed alongside my acceptance of myself, what you can do to make your way towards self-acceptance, and so much more!

Suleika Jaouad has been my friend for many years and it was such a pleasure to be able to talk with her on today's episode. When we met, Suleika was in the middle of her treatment and I was so taken aback by what she was going through and how she was dealing with it. In this conversation, we go deep into her personal journey and details she hasn't even shared in her memoir. Suleika Jaouad is the author of the instant New York Times bestselling memoir, Between Two Kingdoms. She wrote the Emmy Award-winning New York Times column "Life, Interrupted," and her reporting and essays have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Vogue, and NPR, among others.

She is also the creator of The Isolation Journals, a community creativity project founded during the Covid-19 pandemic to help others convert isolation into artistic solitude; over 100,000 people from around the world have joined. In this episode, Suleika shares how her leukemia diagnosis sent her down a path of self-discovery which led her to embrace her fragility, release the old goals that were no longer serving her, find her own style of advocacy, re-evaluate her relationships and boundaries, and so much more!
