Another episode by themselves! On this one, the duo reflects on the privilege of a new year and the lessons that come with it. They talk transitions, projections, observations, mindsets, meditations and motivations. This episode features Mambo beard recalls with admissions of struggle and celebration of growth. Addressing pressures that come with new birthdays, solitude and work Kigondu sieves his thoughts and reflections through a Wabisabi lense while Kamande wrestles with the theoretic nature of stoicism, recurring states of unwholesomeness as he finds ground and comfort in more practice of loving kindness and awareness. The duo highlight lessons from the ‘Jesus year’, melancholy, anger, the confluence of states of mind, purpose, the BBB mindset and practice of love for self and beyond. A great listen that spotlights reduction of suffering, the privilege of birthdays and the incredible beauty of interconnectedness.
