QUESTION EVERYTHING

There are celebrity interviews, and there are life-changing conversations. On Question Everything, you get both. Journalist Danielle Robay has a rare gift: she makes people feel safe + seen enough to tell the truth. Every week, she draws out the stories the world’s most fascinating people rarely get to tell– the heartbreaks, the risks, the controversies, the beliefs they had to unlearn to become who they are and every now and then, their thoughts on the Bravoverse. You’ll come for their story. You’ll leave rethinking your own.

——–

Danielle is also the creator of the bestselling QUESTION EVERYTHING card game series, which has sparked connection in thousands of living rooms around the world, and the co-executive producer and host of Bookmarked by Reese’s Book Club, alongside Reese Witherspoon. Dubbed “The Queen of Questions,” she brings both heart and rigor to every conversation — a background in political science, a Gloria Steinem Fellowship, and a mentorship under Larry King, whose legacy of curiosity and connection she’s carried forward across more than 8,000 hours of interviews with icons from Taylor Swift to Malala Yousafzai.

Cultivating Gratitude + Grace: A Meditation with Kimberlee Soo Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

The word gratitude is derived from the Latin word gratia, which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness (depending on the context).

I think about gratitude like this: Grace is an extension of gratitude and the more grateful we are the more grace we lead with.

Gratefully, today Kimberlee Soo shared a beautiful gratitude meditation with us. Kimberlee is a writer and private yoga instructor based in Los Angeles. Kimberlee has practiced yoga and meditation for over thirty years and began teaching in 2021, taking on private clients shortly thereafter. She is passionate about walking alongside those who wish to dynamically evolve and expand their knowledge of self through mindful modalities and dedicated to humans finding their authentic voice. She recently executive produced her first film short, The Model and one of her first short stories can be found in the anthology Briefly Knocked Unconscious by a Low-Flying Duck which just celebrated its 10thanniversary in print (Elephant Rock Books). Kimberlee collaborates as an editor and story developer, primarily with memoirists.

Kimberlee's teachings have personally helped me find gratitude in the present moment. Not for what I have or how I feel, but for what I am. My hope is that through this meditation she can help you find what it is you're seeking.
