Join us to look at the world through eyes that see the interconnectivity of us all on our heroic journey, and seeing how all activities in our life are gifts that come into our path when we dance in the karmic raindrops of life. We discuss how to deal with challenges such as burnout, mis-identification, and life impermanence through the eyes of cancer. In this podcast, we are invited to learn, grow, and see through the REAL Eyes of these two blessed beings.
