Hello and welcome back to the practicing human podcast

the podcast where every day we are getting a little better at life. I'm your host, Kory Muscarra and you may be listening and thinking, why does this audio quality not sound good?

You may also be wondering, why wasn't there a podcast episode yesterday? The answer to both of those are the same.

My microphone broke. Yes, my Audio Technica ATR 2100 broke.

That is how hard I podcast.

I don't know why it broke, but it did.

And so I apologize for not having a

podcast episode yesterday I immediately ordered another microphone and that

should be arriving today but for this episode I needed to use a replacement microphone which is not as good

so please bear with some less than optimal audio quality the alternative was

doing no episode at all and I didn't want to do that twice in a row.

So in today's episode I'm going to share some more thoughts related to episode 35 which was two episodes ago

where I talked about healing self-care and

fulfillment and we'll build on some of that with another quote from my book.

More to come on that after we settle in with the sound of the bell.

So bring your full presence and focus to the sound all the way until it dissolves into silence. So the other day we discussed this quote from my book,

the capacity to check in, feel, and stay present to the different layers of your experience,

without immediately trying to make them different,

is the foundation for self-care healing and

deep fulfillment. If you didn't listen to that one I recommend going back to it at

some point. Today I want to share a quote that I feel builds off of that again from my book.

And by the way, we're probably going to be exploring a lot more content related to my book
