How to Make Progress

MARTHA BECK
About this episode

Welcome to another episode of The Gathering Room! This week I’m broadcasting from a co-working space, thanks to ongoing house repairs at our new home. But my less-than-ship-shape house is possibly the perfect metaphor for the topic we’re diving into today: the idea that “progress” might not always look or feel like we (or others) expect it to. In fact, progress is making us, not the other way around. If you suffer from the idea that you aren't making enough progress, you won't want to miss this one!
