We all know that change is inevitable and impermanence is non-negotiable. But somehow it can feel surprising, maybe even wrong, when we personally hit turbulence. The Buddha had a lot to say about this, and so does our guest.&nbsp; Kaira Jewel Lingo has come back to the show to talk about her new book, <a href="https://www.kairajewel.com/books" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons on Moving Through Change, Loss, and Disruption</a>. This episode explores a few of those strategies including: waking up to what’s happening right now; trusting the unknown; a Buddhist list called the Five Remembrances; how gratitude helps us in times of disruption; and accepting what is (and why this is different from resignation or passivity).&nbsp; Kaira herself is no stranger to impermanence: she spent 15 years as a Buddhist nun, and then decided to leave, which caused no small amount of disruption.&nbsp; Please note: There are brief mentions of domestic violence, abuse, the suffering of refugees, and war in this episode. To help you find your way during times of upheaval, loss, and transition, Kaira Jewel has recorded a series of meditations in the Ten Percent Happier app. Check it out by downloading the <a href="https://10percenthappier.app.link/install" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ten Percent Happier</a> app wherever you get your apps, tapping on the Singles tab, and searching for the topic called "Made for These Hard Times."
