In today's solo episode, I discuss how we can practice coming back to our center when we get triggered by current events (umm hello election). This is a skill we ALL need to get better at, especially if you spend time on social media or scrolling the news. It's time to reclaim your attention and direct it towards what really matters most. The only one who can do it is you. Learn how by listening in.

“The only way to ease our fear and be truly happy is to acknowledge our fear and look deeply at its source. Instead of trying to escape from our fear, we can invite it up to our awareness and look at it clearly and deeply.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh

Today's solo epsiode, I am talking about one of our most fundamental emotions—fear. Fear is something we all experience, whether it’s a fear of failure, fear of the unknown, or fear of losing control. But what if instead of trying to push fear away, we could learn to dance with it? Today, we’ll dive into how fear shows up, why it matters, and how we can approach it with mindfulness to cultivate courage and clarity.
