Summary

We are all connected to this earth, and we are all connected to each other. But whether we feel that connection or not depends on us. There are ways to strengthen this bond and bring it to life - and there are ways to dull it and cut ourselves off. So much of the suffering we see began with a sense of separation. In today’s episode, Rachel shares actionable ways you can deepen your connection to the world around you. It will help you feel more compassionate and empowered to take action against suffering. Tune in for a reminder that there is no such thing as other people’s children - and other people’s suffering is our suffering too.
