From meditation to meaningful connections. Diego Perez, also known as Yung Pueblo, is a well-known poet and author who shares with us how poetry, meditation, and self-awareness can help you grow as a person and in your relationships. 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.
