Description

This week, we’re taking a deep dive into “hope” — and it’s quite a journey!

We discuss:

What hope is and whether it’s inherently helpful (you’ll hear Crystal’s thoughts on this change as the conversation unfolds — there’s a lightbulb moment around minute 12).

The difference between feeling hopeful and clinging to hope.

How being fully present right now might provide more freedom and peace than hoping for something different in the future.

We also share personal stories and insights about the role hope has played in our own experiences with gastroparesis, anxiety, and more.

Like all of our conversations, this one is an invitation to get curious and explore what’s true for you. We’d love to hear your thoughts—share your reflections by joining our Substack community.
