What is the true cost of our numbness, and how can we alchemize it into deep, loving intimacy?     This conversation with Dr. Jaiya John is a balm, for tender times, tender hearts - a remembrance of how to touch tenderly, inwardly and outwardly. Dr. Jaiya John, born as an orphan on the sacred lands of the Ancient Puebloans in New Mexico's high desert, walks the world as a freedom worker, poet, author, teacher, and speaker, revered across continents. In this tender episode, Amisha and Dr. Jaiya weave a story of human connection—layered with vulnerability, healing, and the soft light of hope. Together, they lean into our collective longing for liberation from oppression, the raw courage needed to meet grief and emotional pain, and a soul-deep inquiry into how technology shapes intimacy in a world that often feels so far apart. We hope this episode invites you into deeper layers of tenderness and presence.
