Uncertainty - Allowing It All to Belong

Breena Fain Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode, Breena explores the theme of UNCERTAINTY through her own experience of a recent and unexpected breast cancer diagnosis. She shares her story and explores ways we can all cope with uncertainty through compassion and presence. Listen as she reads from Pema Chödrön's book, When Things Fall Apart, and uncovers her own insight during this particularly uncertain time.  Be sure to stick around for a nourishing mindful self-compassion meditation at the end.

"Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then the come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy." - Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart
