About this episode

Right of Way or Right of Mind? "The Path to Peace"

Ever been cut off in traffic or felt the rage of someone honking their horn at you? We all experience those moments when someone seems to think they have the "right of way," but do they have the "right of mind?" In this podcast, Right of Way or Right of Mind?: The Path to Peace, we delve into the common frustrations and disagreements we face on the road of life. We'll explore how our reactions, whether fueled by anger or understanding, can shape our experiences and relationships. 

We'll discuss practical strategies for cultivating patience, empathy, and forgiveness, helping you navigate life's challenges with grace and discover a greater sense of inner peace. Join us as we journey towards a more peaceful and harmonious existence, one mindful choice at a time.
