Hello, dear listeners. No matter where you're tuning in from, be it the hustle and bustle of a sprawling city, the quiet tranquility of a rural countryside, or anywhere in between, welcome to The Peapod - a podcast about peace. I'm Teri Angel and I am delighted you've chosen to spend some time with us today.

Imagine for a moment: a world without constant conflict, a world where respect for diversity is the norm, a world where understanding replaces fear. I know it sounds utopian, but that's the world we dare to dream of, and that's the world we strive to build here, one conversation at a time, inside the Peapod.

Each week, we explore the theme of peace from various angles - from the philosophical to the practical, from the personal to the political. We engage with thought leaders, peace activists, scholars, artists, and everyday heroes, all of whom are united by a common purpose - the pursuit of peace.

This is a space for stories that heal, stories that bring us together, stories that remind us of our shared humanity.

Here at the Peapod, we believe peace isn't just the absence of conflict - it's the presence of justice, it's the celebration of diversity, and most importantly, it's something that begins with each one of us.

So let's begin this journey together, shall we? Whether you're seeking solutions or solace, inspiration or insight, you're in the right place. Here, we don't have all the answers, but we promise to ask the right questions.

My guest today is a dynamic speaker and teacher. Her words resonate so well with my soul: “Me time isn’t about fixing. It’s about self-honoring; and where self-honoring exists no fixing is needed.”

Please help me welcome Lisa Berry!
