In a moment when the world feels uncertain, Jack sits down with Anne Lamott and Tami Simon for an intimate, deeply human conversation about stories of the heart—how they soften us, unite us, and remind us of our own beauty.

“What makes me happy in working with people is to be able to remind them of how beautiful they are.” –Jack Kornfield.
In this episode, Jack, Anne, and Tami mindfully explore:
- Writing tips, wild stories, and inspiration between Jack, Anne, and Tami
- The power of taking ‘writers walks’
- Protest, aging, Jesus, Buddha, and vulnerable stories
- Anne Lamott’s fan-girl letter to Jack from years ago
- Reminding you of your own beauty
- Jack’s story of having to bow his ego at the monastery
- How to hold a generous vision in dark times
- Uncovering the story of the heart
- Ram Dass and learning to love everyone
- Doing the work and prayer to become one of ‘all in this together’
- Living from the heart cave
“The time is so ripe for us to look out with a new pair of glasses from the heart instead of from our fear, to go into what Ram Dass called the heart cave.” –Anne Lamott
