Episode Description

Dena Moes is the author of The Buddha Sat Right Here: A Family Odyssey Through India and Nepal. Her book is a memoir of adventure, motherhood, and love, woven into a spiritual journey. In 2014, Dena was a mother who pretty much had it all - she was a busy home birth midwife with a successful practice, two amazing daughters who were thriving, a marriage, a house. She was checking all of the boxes, but inside, something was eroding. What resulted was her family's incredible journey: eight-month backpacking journey through India and Nepal.
