This is the third episode of our Getting Unstuck Series and we\\u2019re kicking off the new year with a giant in the meditation world. Tara Brach holds a PhD in clinical psychology and has been practicing and teaching meditation around the world for more than four decades. She is the founder of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington and the author of numerous books. She\\u2019s here today to talk about her newest, which is called Trusting the Gold: Uncovering Your Natural Goodness, and features illustrations by Vicky Alvarez.

Tara\\u2019s argument is that we too often get stuck in what she calls a \\u201ctrance of unworthiness,\\u201d spiraling into negativity about who we are and how we are in the world. That\\u2019s the bad news. But the good news is that we all have an inherent goodness \\u2013 what is sometimes called \\u201cBuddha nature,\\u201d and what she in this book calls \\u201cthe gold.\\u201d 

In this episode, Tara explains that the boundaries around what we are willing to accept in ourselves mirror the boundaries around our own capacity for happiness, and she offers actionable tools for expanding our ability to accept. She also talks very bravely about how she\\u2019s done this work on herself.
