Episode 225: Life and Death and the Love In Between

We live in a world of opposition. For every one of us, the fact that we are alive means that we will someday die. And when we choose to love someone, it means that we are inevitably also choosing loss and grief. This is what it means to be human. Our lives contain the possibility for so much joy and happiness and connection, but all of these experiences are really only available because the possibility of loss also exists. How do we make peace with that? And how do we dare love when loss is inextricably linked with that choice? In a very personal episode of the podcast, today I’m sharing my recent experiences with love and loss and what I’ve learned about life and death that have made me way more intentional and committed to choosing more love more of the time.
