Can it get more real, I don’t know and don’t care. My heart is full within this moment. I queued up this to be my introduction to the Helga podcast! This is pure radiance, intelligence, and unconditional sharing. It puts me in the mindset of the absolute best connections, conversationally or otherwise, that one can have with someone whose wellbeing you’ll root for and who simultaneously you know is honoring herself by representing her authenticity. If you want a podcast host who remains respectfully present throughout, you’re in the right place. Now, on to the Krista Tippett episode.
One of his best

Thank you for such a great program. As a Arthur Jafa addict, I must say it’s one of his best out of the hundreds circulating out there. It really touched me as I listened to my cousin who is like a brother recount his battles that bought him to this point in his life. We grew up together and many of the stories he describes about traveling back and forth to Tupelo, many times he stayed at my house. Although we are first cousins, he is still one of my hero’s has inspired me to no end to dive head first into things I had no idea I was capable of artistically. Great job.
