Peeling back these layers of my inner truth, by Austin Mao

<p>Today’s Meditative Story departs from our standard format. It’s not a story. But it’s as striking and resonant as any wisdom we’ve ever shared on this podcast. In this episode, Austin Mao – a listener in our community and a friend – shares a love letter to his wife, Chuchu, and another to his mother. These two are letters of love, grounded in vulnerability and integrity. The lesson here: When we let go of judgement, there is freedom.</p><p>Listen to Hannah Brencher's episode of Meditative Story "One envelope at a time": <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/BrencherAustinMaoep" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://link.chtbl.com/BrencherAustinMaoep</a></p><p>Read more about Austin: <a href="http://austinmao.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://austinmao.com</a></p><p>Sign up for the Meditative Story newsletter, to get a timely episode reminder and a mini meditation in your inbox:&nbsp;<a href="http://eepurl.com/gyDGgD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://eepurl.com/gyDGgD</a></p><p>Become a Member of Meditative Story to access an ad-free feed, live virtual events, and our exclusive sleep music podcast, Sleep Song!
