034: Solo Episode: An Afternoon w/ Madame Dupuy

This week’s episode is unique – and came to me completely unplanned. After spending last week with a dear friend of mine in the South of France – old stomping grounds for the both of us of sorts – we ended up spending the most magical afternoon with someone I would truly describe as a wise one. A French Elder :D87 year-old Madame Dupuy is a vineyard tender in the South of France with most of her family contributing to cultivating the lands and/or raising family nearby. Madame Dupuy’s hospitality was second to none and instilled in me a newfound desire of how I’d like to greet people and make time to be present with others. Kendall and I both felt so lucky about the experience – it was one of those moments that stand out in time and that I know neither of us will never forget. As a result, I felt a strong desire to record this short solo episode for you to share a little slice of our most amazing afternoon with Madame Dupuy and all that she generously shared with us.

In this episode, I explore:

• Madame Dupuy’s lived experience of World War II
• Many of Madame Dupuy’s teachings & lessons; including…
• Why true friendship might be more difficult to find and foster than love
• What the best time of her life was
• Why she values simplicity
• What she recommends us young people think about
• Lessons and teachings in French (and translated over to English) 

Thank you for tuning into this week’s episode!
