"It's that idea that you have this ritual in your day to day that brings you a sense of calm, a sense of joy, so that you're starting out from that place and not waking up kind of shaking with anxiety." - Cyndie SpiegelJoin me as I navigate the delicate interplay of joy and grief with Cyndie Spiegel.

It's a discussion that reaffirms the strength we can find in tenderness and the unexpected places we encounter comfort.
