About this episode

Cultivating Inner Strength – A Conversation with Tara Brach and Lori Deschene -

What gives us the inner strength to meet life's challenges with resilience, heart and wisdom? Drawing on themes in Lori's new book, "The Tiny Buddha's Inner Strength Journal," Tara and Lori explore the mindset that is conducive to growth, working with negative beliefs, ways of transforming fear, and what it means to have inner strength in facing loss and death. We also talk about what can most empower and energize us in responding to a world struggling with multiple crises.

Find Lori Deschene's "The Tiny Buddha's Inner Strength Journal" here: tinybuddha.com/strong. Lori also created several free companion resources, available at tinybuddha.com/strength-tools.
