Every time my capacity for joy - especially in hard seasons - expands exponentially.\xa0I chose this episode to share as a Best Of episode as an invitation to you.\xa0I invite you to let joy in the new year- as your birthright and as a form of resistance.\xa0This interview will guide you on how to do that.\xa0\nTanmeet Sethi, MD, is the author of Joy Is My Justice: Reclaim What Is Yours.\xa0She is also a board-certified Integrative Family Medicine physician who has spent the last 25 years on the frontlines locally and globally practicing primary care and trauma work with the most marginalized communities. As a mother, she has received the impossible news that her youngest son has a fatal degenerative disease. She weaves together the expertise of both acquired knowledge with lived experience and translates them accessibly through the blend of ancient spiritual traditions and modern neuroscience.
