Hey everyone, it's K-Sunga here. I just want to let you know that we've launched a brand

new call and advice podcast called Dear Headspace. Each week the headspace teachers, along

with some amazing new friends, are answering your questions about relationships, work,

life, mindfulness, and just about everything else. It's so different from anything we've

Tuesday on the Headspace app and anywhere that you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

the opportunity. And thinking big doesn't mean scale necessarily. It might mean moving

out of our comfort zone. It might be trying something that we've always wanted to do,
