Nick and Priya delve into the essence of routine, rhythm, and ritual in their household, and the transformative power of allowing rhythm to sometimes supersede routine, creating rituals that ground the family in place and time. They also speak to the delicate balance of trust and boundaries, keeping their doors open to strangers while ensuring they're not taken advantage of.

Our conversation takes us to their beautiful old house nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees.
