Choosing Love with Krista Tippett
Thursday, 16 January, 2025

Leaning into love and compassion doesn’t always feel natural, especially when the people we’re dealing with are fueled by hate. But what happens when we resist our urges to hate, and instead, see humanity in one another? And how might we begin to do that? In this week’s episode, Krista Tippett, Peabody award-winning journalist and the host of the podcast On Being, explores how we can practice love in times of divisions and hatred. Together, Simran and Krista speak openly with one another about the challenges that come with sustaining relationships, as well as the transformative impact of fostering deeper connections—offering reflections on social advocacy, friendships, and living your way into becoming love.
