On “Behind the Quote”, hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes and guest therapist Ryan Heapy discuss Tara Brach’s quote, “There is something wonderfully bold and liberating about saying yes to our entire, imperfect, and messy life.” Ryan explains that by accepting life’s challenges, rather than resisting or fighting against them, we can find greater peace and resilience.
