All right, button pressing has commenced.

Here we are.

This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast.

My name is Jay Brown, and if this is your first time listening today, let me welcome you.

Everyone else. What's up? How's everyone doing? I hope this moment finds you reasonably well.

I have to say that this last week, it seemed like almost everybody I interacted with

was struggling in some kind of way.

And it's interesting, some folks had maybe similar struggles to me,

where maybe we're facing some financial challenges and we're

trying to make ends meet and it's feeling harder than ever.

And then there's other people I know who they're making plenty of money.

They've got enough money.

But they're still struggling.

They're struggling with questions of like purpose

and meaning because sometimes the jobs that they have that give them all this money,

there's a sacrifice that gets made somehow, know and i think i've often held this idea

i'm probably not the only one that oh if only i could make a little bit more money and surely

that making enough money it alleviates like an initial layer of anxiety that someone who doesn't have enough money has, right?

You certainly can put yourself in a situation where theoretically you could be more carefree,

right? Because your bills are paid and you got enough money to send your kid to college and

you're not worrying about that.

But you see, we're all being subjected to like a system that is profoundly dehumanizing.
