About this listen

What is the difference between having things and simply appreciating them—and how has that distinction shaped the way we see the world? Inspired by a quote from Albert Hubbard and memories of flipping through Town & Country magazines with my mother, I take a sentimental and humorous journey through antique stores, high-end jewelry I’ll never own, and lavish homes I’ll never live in. But rather than feel envy, I’ve learned to let these moments of beauty and fantasy awaken a deeper sense of gratitude for what is in my life. Join me as I explore how appreciating what we can’t have might just teach us how to love what we do—and how beauty, even in the pages of a glossy magazine, can remind us to say a simple but powerful “thank you.”



Now That You Ask is a podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky. Join host, Akasha Halsey as she takes listeners on a journey through her writing and experience with life’s most persistent questions.
