About this episode

This episode explores the habit of waiting for permission and the insights from the ancient practice of teshuvah regarding readiness.

You’ve been waiting. Maybe for the right moment, the right version of yourself, the right alignment of circumstances. We all have something we keep saying we’ll begin when we’re finally ready. This week, we explore the strange, quiet habit of waiting for permission—and what the ancient practice of *teshuvah* might tell us about why we don’t need it.
