On this rouge episode I saw an opportunity when my best friend since 6th grade came by to tell me all about her recent experience at a silent 7-day meditation retreat. Not only is she the smartest, most generous and impressive human I know, she has taught me so much about what's truly important. We chat about what it’s like being a social justice advocate, agnostic future meditation instructor who grew up wanting to me a nun and a 2 Enneagram personality type. This episode reinforces that influence is NOT measured by Instagram follower count - but by fearlessly living your purpose and unique truth. Keila is the Field Director at the Tennessee justice center - one of the nation’s leading non-profit legal advocacy firms focused on helping TennCare enrollees access the health services to which they are entitled. She leads TJC’s Advocacy Team, whose mission is to protect and expand Medicaid and to work toward universal health coverage.
