About this episode
Today’s episode features back-to-back Commusings: In the first, Jeff muses on how a bout of childhood cancer transformed him. In the second, he muses on how doing hard things makes doing hard things (like going to the dentist, his least favorite activity), a bit easier.Commusings are thoughtful essays and short-form reflections on spirituality, philosophy, health, and culture.
