#2062 Happiness Is Not Our Natural State - Emma Slade

from The You Project · host Craig Harper

Wow! This chat is one of my favourites of 2025, with a TYP Freshy - a brand new guest, Emma Slade (Lopen Ani Pema Deki) who is the first Western woman to be fully ordained in the Drukpa Kagyu lineage of Bhutan (meaning Emma is a Buddhist nun). This was a refreshing, insightful, and thought-provoking conversation with an amazing woman who totally re-invented herself after a life-changing experience where she was held at gun point while on a business trip in Jakarta. So much practical wisdom and guidance in this one. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
