I adore Emily. You will too. I told her at the end of this conversation that I felt like we’d just had our own little therapy session—except that we also covered important topics like the art of the “napuccino” and the joys of walking with a weighted vest.

But truly—you don’t want to miss what Emily has to say about practicing remembrance as a spiritual discipline. She talks about:

  • How our bodies and brains are wired to remember (Have you read The Body Keeps the Score? A little more on that in this episode.)

  • The effect that remembrance has on our mental health

  • Practical tips (yes, even for those of us who don’t have time) for incorporating this practice into our lives

Plus, we discuss:

  • The “novelty effect” and how to slow down time

  • Practicing the important work of FUN

  • What you can tell about a person by their coffee order

Gosh, this was a fun one. So come give it a listen, smile all the way through, and afterwards—maybe even give the art of remembrance a try.

And please, share far and wide!

With love,

Deidre
