Claire shared her struggles with anxiety and depression and how meditation helped her overcome these challenges. She emphasized the importance of compassion in mindfulness practice and how it can help us cope with suffering and stress.
Claire also talked about how cultivating compassion can help us find meaning and purpose in our lives, especially for those in the legal profession. It was a great conversation and I learned so much from her.
