All of This Is Fleeting

What a blessing it is to have something so beautiful in your life that you’re afraid of losing it.In this episode, I reflect on our tendency to search for patterns, brace ourselves for loss, and become suspicious of joy. Why does happiness sometimes feel like dreaming? Why do we prepare for endings that haven’t happened yet? And how can we appreciate the good things in our lives without becoming afraid of their impermanence?This episode is about neuroscience, gratitude, dreaming, and what it means to live fully in a world where nothing is promised.It is also, unexpectedly, an episode about grief.Inspired by my recent blog, Fleeting Good:This episode is dedicated to the memory of my beloved cousin and brother, Kareem. Thank you for the love, laughter, and memories that make saying goodbye feel impossible. Please keep him and our family in your prayers.Tell the people you love that you love them. 💛 This is a public episode.
