46 分钟You have to look at yourself and say, where is my real beauty?
It's not because I can or cannot walk straight anymore or because I can't do a fancy turn in salsa.
Real beauty comes out of who I am inside and what I believe and how I treat others and my relationships.
Kara Yarkan, today's guest, has spent her entire life, from the time she was pretty much a kid, in service of others.
As soon as she had the ability to, she began to travel the world, becoming involved with organizations who would put her on the ground in some of the most challenging and sometimes dangerous places in the world in service of others.
Not just becoming a voice for the voiceless, but literally being on the ground, helping them in a stunning, compassionate, and largely selfless way.
So when she received the diagnosis at the age of 30 of an incredibly rare and degenerative disease, how she handled that and how she continues to dance with it, to move with it, and to integrate it into the way that she lives her life and continues with her quest to serve is inspiring, stunning, shocking, eye opening, motivating.
I'm so happy.
I'm so excited to share this conversation, her story and her gorgeous and inspiring outlook, her lens on life and what she's here to do and what we're all here to do.
So I'm so inspired and excited to share that with you.
So let's dive into the conversation.
I'm Jonathan Fields.
This is good life project.
Your shirt is one big bundle of curiosity for me.
I love that.
Not sure how else to kind of phrase it.
You know, it's sort of.
I got an email from a friend of mine, I guess, family of yours, right?
My cousin.
And you just have to meet this woman.
