He and Dr. Mindy dig into personal stories about how these practices have made their lives and relationships better. They talk about things like fasting, making meditation a part of your everyday life, and accepting your flaws. They also touch on topics like social issues, identity, and the importance of self-care. Diego's new book, which combines his meditation journey and relationship insights, is a big part of the conversation, and it gives listeners practical advice on how to nurture love and understanding in all human connections.
