I sit down with Noelani McGowan and discuss a variety of topics ranging from the processes of human connection, to the impacts of the media’s portrayal of frontline medical workers compared to the portrayal of police brutality during the pandemic, along with whose voices we think are the most important in historicizing this current period in time. With all the topics we covered in between, I didn’t want the conversation to end and I’m grateful for the thoughtful insights Noelani offered to this podcast.

In this episode I sit down with George Espino, a passionate runner, thinker, and a caring individual who is dedicated to uplifting those around him. In our conversation he demonstrates this by sharing his personal journey of self-forgiveness through the practice of humility, all in the pursuit of our favorite word: balance. Together we reflect on how the circumstances of the pandemic have influenced the ways we consider balance in our personal lives as well as in our interpersonal relationships.

In this introduction episode, I explain the goals for this series in which I will be having discussions with individuals about the personal growth and crises that they’ve experienced since the beginning of the pandemic. I draw connections between our time to reflect on our adaptations to life today, and how we will better show up for our communities in an ever-changing world as we move forward as a collective.
