When it comes to the state of our world, the concept of hope can feel elusive. Joanna teaches Jess that the future may be uncertain, but that means that there’s still room for something beautiful to happen. This episode offers insights into embracing uncertainty, cultivating joyousness, and understanding the intricate interplay between hope, courage, and action.
In this episode:
“Active hope” is about acting in service of the future we hope for
Whenever Jess asks about hope, Joanna talks instead about courage
When hope eludes us, courage and our devotion to life remain steadfast
