Hey there, it's Ella Hay. I hope you're having a great weekend.
Today,
I wanted to bring you a conversation I recently had with someone whose work I've followed for a while.
Her name is Tara Brock.
She has a PhD in clinical psychology, she's a therapist,
and she's also spent years studying Buddhism and mindfulness.
She teaches meditation, and she's written several books, including one called Radical Acceptance.
Recently, I found myself turning more and more to Tara's work.
I just went through a health crisis,
which is why you haven't heard me much on the show in recent months.
I caught it early and I'm better now and in the clear.
But during those months, I was dealing with a lot of fear.
Tara's meditations helped.
But even if you're not going through a health scare, the world is really scary right now.
A lot of us look around and see wars, climate change,
economic uncertainty, just a lot of overwhelming things we can't control.
So today we're going to have a conversation about fear.
From the newsroom of The Washington Post, this is Post Reports.
I'm Elahe Izadi.
It's Saturday, May 17th.
