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

0:04.6

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

0:10.3

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

0:15.3

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

created and we're so excited for you to hear it. Dear Headspace comes out every Tuesday

0:25.0

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

Hi, it's Andy here and welcome to Radio Headspace and to Tuesday morning. I'm a friend who,

in his life. And it's something sort of interesting to think about. I think for many of us, we

1:40.1

all think that it's in what we do that we find a sense of purpose in terms of perhaps it's

1:47.1

our career or whatever it might be in life. And I wonder whether our true sense of purpose

1:53.0

comes not through what we do, but actually how we show up, not in our career, maybe not

1:59.1

even just in our home life and our family life, but those around us. But actually more
