Release Date: October 8, 2024

Hosts: Allison and Kimberly

In this episode, we delve into the complex nature of awe, discovering that it resists clear definition despite its documented benefits, such as enhanced social behavior. We share personal experiences that evoke awe, like witnessing the Grand Canyon, and discuss key components identified in research, including vastness and the need for shifting one's understanding.


We consider the impact of modern distractions on our capacity to experience awe and explore its connection to gratitude, recognizing how these feelings enhance our well-being and relationships. Ultimately, we emphasize awe's significance in enriching our experiences, even as we grapple with articulating its complexities.
