A Perfectly Imperfect Union: Reflecting on America 250 with Kristin Graham

The Whole Again Podcast: Mindfulness and Resilience through Kinstugi Wisdom airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Pause Breathe Reflect Microdose Meditations, Growth Mindset and Mindfulness Tips, to help us transform our scars into healing and resilience.

And between May and October, I'm sharing a new series I'm calling: A Perfectly Imperfect Union. It's about connecting with every day folks as they reflect on America at 250. Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

What does it mean to be a land of reinvention?

Kristen talks about America as a place where you can plant yourself somewhere new and start over, again and again. But she doesn't shy away from the cracks either. She points to the widening wealth gap, what she calls the K-shaped economy, where the top and bottom are pulling further apart every year.

If you've ever wondered whether reinvention and repair can happen at the same time, this conversation makes the case that they have to.

Kristen's question for you and our next guest is:

Which state would you live in if you were to leave the one you're in?
