Where do we turn for hope when the world doesn’t make sense?
This week, Simran welcomes comedian, storyteller, and How to Be a Better Human host Chris Duffy for a conversation that begins with laughter but opens into something far more tender.
Simran and Chris explore how humor can be an offering, a bridge between pain and connection. They speak about the sacredness of listening, the beauty in imperfection, and the way small, everyday acts like making someone laugh or holding space in silence can become deeply spiritual practices.
With grace and honesty, they remind listeners that meaning often emerges in the simple moments and that choosing to show up with care, again and again, is its own kind of wisdom and practice.
