Episode Notes

Are we living in The Capital from The Hunger Games (Americans)? What are we doing? What really matters? How has it become normal to have your body decorated and your meals perfect and the most sophisticated technology?

Today River vents about not being able to afford her life and all the things that have become normalized. (Expensive clothes, fancy meals, and painted nails.)

We talk about so many things:

• Fasting for two days
• Mother Teresa and her journey to India to be with the poor
• Are we meant to embrace suffering even more?
• How can we live a more simple life?
• The elderly and how cute they are (and how Annie wants to be a death doula)
• The Hail Mary prayer
• How Catholic and Buddhist prayers and mantras (and traditions) are similar

In today's talk we challenge what we feel like we "have to do" so we can be more true to ourselves.
