In conversation with Adrian Baker on the “Redesigning The Dharma”podcast
Delighted to have been in convo with Adrian Baker on his podcast, Redesigning the Dharma! We talked about Eros, devotion, love, Dzogchen, pleasure, suffering, and the liberatory, vibrant nature of emptiness.
I have never been on a podcast before and felt very nervous talking about Dzogchen publicly since I’m hardly a expert, and these practices are very sacred to me, and we also held the conversation at 8pm when my brain was fried after a day of parenting and work.
Fortunately Adrian is a great podcast host and he put me at ease. I knew I would get a bunch of things wrong but participated anyway in hopes that it would inspire someone to use these incredible teachings and methods in their own life. I think I did an okay job, in spite of setting my computer’s camera way too high.
After the interview, I woke up the next morning and immediately thought of a dozen things that I could have explained better, or more clearly, or points I could have focused on. I’m so much more confident as a writer than a speaker, but I’m glad I did it. May all beings know their excellent friend, mind itself!
Listen to the podcast or watch it.
Lastly, I neglected to send in a headshot, and it appears that the editor used a photo of me from eight years ago for the episode’s image cover, and it is quite lovely, flowy, feminine and youthful. I’m including a more recent head shot below :
