Going Interior Podcast, Season 2, Episode 201: Resilience, Compassion and Equanimity

Welcome to Going Interior—a podcast about doing hard jobs and living well. We’re kicking off the 2025 season with a deeply meaningful conversation featuring Kevin Watt: hospice chaplain, spiritual counselor, and meditation teacher.

Kevin weaves together threads of spirituality, philosophy, and personal experience to help those he serves explore their unique beliefs, doubts, and needs. With a rich background that spans multiple faith traditions and secular approaches, Kevin meets people where they are—offering compassionate support and insight to anyone seeking a more grounded, resilient life.

His passion? Helping people cultivate compassion and equanimity amid the messiness and uncertainty of real life.

Join our host, Captain Jamie Kavanaugh, for this wide-ranging and thoughtful discussion—and don’t forget to share the episode with your friends.
