Episode 144: Holding Both
On today’s episode of In Time, Peter and Robyne reflect on the quiet coexistence of joy and grief and how our experiences shape the way we move through the world. What does it mean to hold both happiness and heaviness at the same time? How do the places we live become layered with personal meaning, even as others experience them completely differently? And what small moments of kindness or curiosity help us feel a little lighter along the way? Plus, a glimpse into the simple (and sometimes surprising) things that bring us joy - from deep dives into niche interests to the hope of becoming a delightfully unapologetic “old bird.”
Today’s surprise question:
What’s a random act of kindness someone has done for you that was small, but meant a lot to you?
