ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
This podcast explores how mindful presence shapes personal growth, from healing trauma to living mindfully. We cannot force personal growth through sheer willpower or simplistic formulas. We grow as we stay present and engaged while navigating the complexities of life. This approach to mindfulness is informed by the practice of therapy. Mindful presence is an essential part of the living process of change. It involves engaging with what happens as it happens. A recurring theme is Embodied Presence. I bring my perspective as a therapist to short talks and conversations with thoughtful guests.
