Ep. 66: From Fear to Freedom: Skiing and the Art of Acceptance

Written by Pete Kadushin

In today's solocast, we hit the slopes and explore the transformative power of acceptance through my own experience of learning to ski. 

We touch on how embracing the possibility of injury actually unlocked my ability to be present to the joy of skiing, and 10x'd my skill level after a decade away from the sport.

We also look at some of the reliable barriers to acceptance and outline a couple of practices to help create more acceptance in your life.
