In this podcast episode I’m talking about the power of immersive experiences with my special guest, Amanda Field, CEO, Founder, and Inventor of the Yoga Triangle.
While every day self-care is key to optimal health and well-being, it’s vitally important we carve out time in our calendar to engage in immersive nature experiences as a way to ground and recalibrate the nervous system. When we do this, we open up possibilities of clearer thinking, more emotionally engaged relating, great alignment with our most integrated self, and more robust creative work time. The investment in these experiences have immense dividends in all aspects of our lives.
Amanda and I share about our recent immersive experience together along the Texas Gulf Coast at Crystal Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula.
Amanda Field is a yoga instructor in Houston, TX. After growing frustrated by the limitations of rectangular yoga blocks, she started experimenting with alternative shapes and angles. Amanda wanted a durable, comfortable yoga block that would help yogis and athletes improve flexibility, balance, and strength. She consulted with doctors, physical therapists, and other yogis to find the perfect angles for the Yoga Triangle. Whether you're running a marathon, healing from an injury, or just determined to do a split in your practice, Yoga Triangle is your upgrade!
Amanda is a 500 ERYT with over 20 years of experience. She founded Republic Aerial Yoga in Houston, Texas. She studied with many talented teachers in her career.
Outside of her love of movement and functional fitness, she's a brand consultant, a business developer and currently works in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for a Manufacturing startup. She's passionate about her purpose - empowering people, teaching agency, giving back to her community, and innovation.

Also, I mentioned a few stats about our sedentary lifestyle and a study from Northwestern University regarding the power of immersive experiences. To learn more, click HERE.

In this podcast episode I’m sharing a reflection practice to help you get better results in your life. Cue the power of the non-negotiables list.
The non-negotiables list is an anchor and adjust heuristic. It’s an approach to problem-solving using prior knowledge and personal experience to help you make better decisions, and ultimately start living the life you love.
Grab your favorite journal, carve out some quiet time, and enjoy reflecting on your own non-negotiables list. When you get clear on what matters to you, you get clear on each step you need to take to manifest the life you want to live.

In this podcast episode I’m sharing a few of my favorite mantras, one-liners, and things to say to win the day.
The words we say to ourselves matter. Our thoughts influence our behavior, behaviors influence our actions, and actions define our life. Let’s make it matter.
Your spark in action needs to be out in the world and you can do that with a good mental framework. Reaching your goals and becoming your best self is tough stuff sometimes and with the right mind training you can awaken new layers, get into alignment with your truest self, and make a difference.

In this podcast episode I’m chatting with DeAntwann “DJ” Johnson about relationships, young people, and mindset.
DeAntwann “DJ” Johnson is a husband, father, author, mentor, coach, counselor, and sports statistician. He grew up in the Indiana foster care system and yet despite that, has gone on to lead a successful, and fulfilling life. Before spending nine years in the foster care system, DJ suffered child abuse, domestic abuse, and emotional trauma. At one point, he wanted to end his life, but he realized that he was on this earth for a purpose. DJ fulfills that purpose by using his experiences to not only help establish relationships with the students he serves, but he helps parents better connect with their teenagers. DJ specializes in helping parents bridge the communication gap between them and their child to ensure that their child has room to be the best version of themself.
I hope you find this episode valuable!

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing four (4) myths about teaching kids mindfulness. There have been quite a few of them over the decade I’ve been doing this work, but I boiled it down to the top four.
In knowing these myths, you can anticipate other people sharing them, and feel more confident in educating them about mindful-based social-emotional learning and educating the whole child.
These myths might pop up in casual conversations with friends, parents, and teachers or they may come up when you’re giving a seminar, speech, or professional development series about kids and mindfulness.
In any case, you’ll be ready to debunk them and appropriately educate others.

My special guest today is Dee Dubose.
Dee is an educator, organizer, and advocate for effective K-12 schools.

In this way, he hopes to use these stories and experiences in his work as he is starting his dual Ph.D in Education Policy + K-12 Administration at Michigan State University. With this additional context, he envisions working with students, families, and leaders as a district leader to bring about effective research-based practices inside rural schools.

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing some of my go-to strategies that I’ve personally used when I received a big “No!” while on the path to achieving my big, scary goals.
These strategies have helped me keep going in the face of hearing that soul crushing “No!” and to finally get to the “Yes!” that I was striving towards.
I talk about the mindfulness practice of detachment. While working on our goals, it’s important to have a vision of what we are trying to obtain, but it’s equally important to not be attached to any specific results. I know this is a tough one!
Be with what you are doing, but stay detached from any specific outcome. This practice will serve you well when you get little or big “Nos” on your own goal journey.
I’m giving you 4 (four) strategies that can help you re-frame these challenging moments in your life, and give you the fuel you need to keep going.
They’ve helped me stay the course, and I hope they help you as well.
Remember, any big, scary goal you take on is about endurance, not speed. These strategies have helped me take small steps forward, which have added up to big leaps in overall distance.
Remember, the world needs your spark in action, and only you can provide that special magic someone needs. I’m voting your victory!

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about how to successfully share your ideas.
My special guest today is Martine Thomassen.
Martine Thomassen is a marketing and mindset coach. She has a masters degree in digital marketing and a decade of experience in the industry. Working with clients, she discovered that the real reason for succeeding in marketing was not being technically savvy or doing lots of market research.
She developed the concept "Holistic Marketing", which not only focuses on marketing strategy, but the client as a whole human being. She helps her clients navigate through perfectionism, imposter syndrome, procrastination, niche drama and limiting beliefs to become confident on social media and attract more clients organically.
Martine and I talk about:
~ her journey into holistic marketing;
~ what holistic marketing is and why you want to know about it (because sharing your ideas makes a difference for others);

Christy creates and teaches online courses for educators to support them in escaping teacher burnout and how to implement a mindfulness practice into their personal lives and in their classrooms.
She is passionate about teaching the whole child through implementing mindfulness and trauma informed practices. And in addition to the many hats she holds, she is passionate about conscious parenting and reparenting herself while raising her 2 young boys with her high school sweetheart.

~ her personal journey into self-inquiry and mindfulness;
~ her motivation to share these practices with high school students;

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about discovering your inner spark.
My special guest this week is Jessica Mougis, the creator and host of The Kids Yoga Podcast, a podcast about all things kids yoga!
Jessica Mougis has been working with children and families since she graduated from Connecticut College in 2007. She began by teaching creative movement, ballet and modern dance. In 2009 she took a brief hiatus and followed her dream of attending film school in Sedona, AZ. There she had the honor of winning the Pinnacle Award for Best Director.
Upon moving to NYC, Jessica realized how much she missed working with children and knowing the impact yoga had on her own life, she began teaching children's yoga. As Director of Programs of Yogi Beans, she taught yoga and mindfulness to thousands of children in schools and studios around NYC. She also trained adults to teach yoga to children both nationally and internationally. She is 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga certified through Laughing Lotus Yoga Center.
In 2016, Jessica founded Jem Yoga NYC, a kids yoga company that provides yoga classes to children and families in NYC schools and studios. And in 2020, Jessica began The Kids Yoga Podcast, a passion project she'd been dreaming up for years.
Jessica and I talk about:

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing a self-reflection practice to help you start your new year from a place of balance and alignment instead of operating on autopilot.
Christina Sell taught me this practice several years ago. I also had her on the podcast a couple of years ago to talk about yoga and what it means to live a life of wholeness and freedom. You can check out our conversation (note: we don’t talk about the self-reflection practice on that episode) on Ep. 20: Wholeness and Freedom with Christina Sell.
The self-reflection practice is called PIES. It’s an acronym that represents the four main domains of our human development: physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual.
It will help you tune into what you need in each of these domains to be in balance and in alignment with your most authentic self. You can use this practice to create your 2022 life’s vision, or for different phases of your life when you feel your needs are changing. This is also a great practice for each day or as an end of the week reflection, or beginning of the week intention setting.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking how we can connect to our inner wisdom.
My special guest this week is internationally-renowned wisdom teacher, author, and speaker Sophie McLean.
Born in Algeria, educated in Morocco and France, and with a professional career in the USA and UK, Sophie McLean has had an eventful life. She’s been a helicopter pilot, a teacher, a designer, a relief worker, a war refugee, and a CEO. She’s been shot at, shipwrecked, and widowed. She lived on a farm, a boat, a penthouse, and an ashram.
As a wisdom teacher, Sophie spend decades leading transformational seminars to over 80,000 people around the world of all ethnicities, ages, religions, and social backgrounds – all engaged with the universal existential question of “Who am I?” and “What is my life about?”
Now after seven years in France, Sophie McLean is in New York City to begin Act III of her life – speaking, consulting, writing, and teaching courses and online seminars within the framework of Access to Awareness.
Her seminar topics span both human and metaphysical dimensions – deconstructing the automatic ego, consciousness, freedom, love, stress, anxiety, fear, relationships, health, sex, money, ownership, spirituality, creation and evolution, the feminine and masculine, being responsible, and making a difference in the world – and being effective at it.
Sophie new book, The Elegance of Simplicity, is a compelling, thought-provoking work of autobiographical fiction, one that communicates life-altering concepts proposing an effortless pathway to awareness. It’s deeply honest and dramatic story of self-discovery, about what’s possible when you take responsibility, own your power, and become one with life.
Sophie and I talk about:
~ her eclectic background and the events that sparked her spiritual journey;
~ the universal existential questions of “Who am I?” and “What is my life about?”;
~ transforming our pain and suffering;
~ what a personal life review is and how to take one right now;
~ what she does to keep her spirit vibrant and full of life;
~ and so much more!

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about self-reliance, retreat, and inner power.
My special guest this week is nature writer, David Gessner.
How has the tragic experience of COVID-19 changed the way we live—and the way we want to live—for those of us lucky enough to have made it through?
When the pandemic struck, acclaimed nature writer David Gessner turned to Henry David Thoreau, the original social distancer, for insights and a wide-ranging conversation across the centuries. The resulting book, QUIET DESPERATION, SAVAGE DELIGHT: Sheltering with Thoreau in the Age of Crisis, is a lyric yet urgent meditation on life and this earth which includes lessons about rediscovering our own backyards, self-reliance, and rewilding—the last especially poignant after a year of environmental healing.
David Gessner is the author of Leave It As It Is: A Journey Through Theodore Roosevelt’s American Wilderness and the New York Times–bestselling All the Wild That Remains: Edward Abbey, Wallace Stegner and the American West. Chair of the Creative Writing Department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and founder and editor-in-chief of Ecotone, Gessner lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, with his wife, the novelist Nina de Gramont, and their daughter, Hadley.
David and I talk about:
~ his journey into becoming a nature writer;
~ his new book, Quiet Desperation, Savage Delight: Sheltering with Thoreau in the Age of Crisis;
~ COVID-19, self-reliance, and the environment;
~ the concept of re-wilding;
~ the healing power of nature and finding solace in your own “back yard oasis”; and
~ so much more!
It was such an insightful conversation. I hope you gain a ton of value from it.
If you loved this episode, please share with a friend or family member that could gain value from it too.
Make sure to get a copy of David’s book and give one to the nature lovers in your life!

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about inclusive affirmations for kids and the mindfulness resource deck you must add to your holiday gift list.
My guest this week is author and creator, Fionna Wright.
Fionna and Madison wrote 100 Days Inside as a special mother-daughter project during their time at home (during the pandemic), and the story is based on their experience, and all the big emotions that came with it. They wanted to create a book where their diverse aesthetic and co-parenting family dynamic was represented in a positive light.
Fionna and Madison have extended that into their newly released project, Mindful Littles: Daily Affirmations for Kids. The deck of cards aims to be diverse and inclusive so that every little one feels represented while they practice mindfulness. This mother-daughter duo is creating the change they want to see.
Fionna and I talk about:
~ her family’s journey into mindfulness;
~ her personal experience, and the BIG emotions that came with it, during the pandemic;
~ inclusion and representation in mindfulness resources;
~ the Mindful Littles affirmation project;
~ so much more!
It was such a warm and insightful conversation. I hope you gain a ton of value from it.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about higher education in prison, and why it’s an important policy initiative to help incarcerated young people to begin their life’s journey again, and to live a meaningful life steeped in the values of truth, responsibility, and freedom.
My guest this week is Patrick Rodriguez.
Patrick was released from prison in December 2019, and since then, he has worked to serve those who have been impacted by the prison system. Working as both the Co-Executive Director for the Georgia Coalition for Higher Education in Prison and the Director of Special Projects for Common Good Atlanta, he has learned what it takes to implement prison college-accredited programs and support formerly incarcerated students who are seeking to navigate the university space.
He was selected out of 432 applicants to be one of eight Justice Fellows with the Education Trust. The goals of this fellowship consistent of understanding policy at the intersection of higher Education and Incarceration. While thinking of ways to push legislation and policy, Patrick has been accepted to the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials’ Institute for Leadership. This is so that he can understand the intersection of Latino people and the political system and how to advocate for more prison education programs.
Patrick is currently pushing policy that will ban the box that asks if you have been convicted of a crime on college applications in the state of Georgia. Patrick is currently majoring in organizational and professional communication at Kennesaw State University, will graduate in Spring of 2022 and will attend graduate school in the fall 2022.
Patrick and I talk about:
~ his background growing up and the series of choices that led him into the prison system;
~ his release from prison in 2019 and his desire to serve those impacted by the prison system;
~ how prison impacted his mind and moral compass;
~ what caused him to focus on the intersection of higher education and incarcerated youth;
~ what keeps him focused, inspired and motivated; and
~ so much more!
It was such an insightful conversation. Patrick is up to some amazing work. I hope you gained a ton of value from it and enjoyed listening to Patrick’s story. Please consider supporting his work.

Happy Day, Friend!
On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about grief, loss, and meaning.
My guest this week is author, Maryanne O’Hara.
Maryanne O’Hara is the author of LITTLE MATCHES: A Memoir of Grief and Light. Her daughter Catlin died at 33, after a lifetime of living with Cystic Fibrosis and a harrowing last two years waiting for a lung transplant that finally came but was unsuccessful. In her grief and search for answers, Maryanne trained as an end-of-life doula. Her favorite aspect was creating legacy projects, something she didn’t do with Caitlin because of her single-minded focus on her survival. She planned to do it with her mother, but with a sudden illness in the midst of Covid, that opportunity slipped away
Maryanne O’Hara is also the author of the novel Cascade – the Boston Globe Book Club’s inaugural pick, a finalist for the Massachusetts Book Award, and a People Book of the Week. The former associate fiction editor of Ploughshares, she has taught creative writing at Emerson College and Clark University, and has had her writing recognized by the artist grants programs of the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the St. Botolph Club Foundation.
Little Matches is based on the 9LivesNotes blog she kept while her daughter, Caitlin, waited for a lung transplant. O’Hara is a Reiki master and was recently certified by the University of Vermont’s Larner College of Medicine as an end-of-life doula so that she might better speak to the state of end-of-life care in our culture.
Maryanne and I talk about:
~ her journey with her daughter when diagnosed with cystic fibrosis;
~ what challenge has taught her about life, death, and fear;
~ what it means to “grow the soul”;
~ end-of-life doula work and life interviews;
~ her new book, Little Matches: A Memoir of Grief and Light
~ and so much more!
It was such a moving conversation filled with so much depth, love, and meaningful insights.
I hope you gain a ton of value from it.
If you enjoyed this episode, please share with a friend or family member, and make sure to purchase a copy of Maryanne’s new book, Little Matches.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about mindful breathing tools for teens.
I'm so excited to have my friend and colleague, Matt Dewar, Ed.D., back on the show this week! We had such a great conversation talking about mindful breathing tools for teens and his new book, The Mindful Breathing Workbook for Teens.
Motivated by his own personal struggle with anxiety as a young adult and informed by almost two decades of teaching mindfulness and emotional intelligence in schools, Dr. Matt Dewar’s message is simple: Through increased awareness, knowledge, and skill, you have the ability to transform stress and adversity into emotional strength and resilience.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about kindness and meditation, and the practices you can take on to bring more love, kindness, and compassion into your everyday being and life.
I enjoyed my conversation so much with meditation teacher and author, Amanda Gilbert.
Amanda Gilbert is a meditation teacher, lecturer of mindfulness at the University of Southern California, speaker, and author. She leads meditation for top companies like NBC, Paramount Pictures, W Hotels, Merrill Lynch, Macy’s, and YouTube. Before dedicating herself to teaching full-time, Amanda was the center director for Aging, Metabolism, and Emotions Center at the University of California, San Francisco, a world-renowned health psychology laboratory conducting scientific research and publishing investigations on the biological and psychological effects of mindfulness, meditation, and stress resilience. Her formal meditation training has been with UCLA’s Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, Deepak Chopra, and in the Insight Meditation tradition.
She is also the author of the new book, Kindness Now: A 28-Day Guide To Living With Authenticity, Intention, and Compassion.
Amanda and I talk about:

~ meditation and various heart practices;
~ the brahma-viharas (the 4 Buddhist virtues and the mindfulness practice to cultivate them);
~ her new book, Kindness Now;
~ how she keeps her personal meditation practice fresh and inspired; and
~ and so much more!
It was such a great conversation. I hope you gain a lot of value from it, and hope it inspires you to begin or reinvigorate your own meditation practice.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about self-care for teachers and the new app that helps them prioritize it, and makes it accessible anytime, anywhere.
I enjoyed my conversation with the co-founders of the JabuMind App – Jill Manly, Ann Rankowitz, and Carolyn Grabiel.
The Jabu Mind Team are a passionate group of teachers, coaches, artists, school principals, and mental health clinicians who share a common goal of creating a safer, stronger, and more supportive classroom experience for both teachers and students.
Their mission is to support teachers in their own social and emotional growth so they, in turn, can help their students and school communities.
Their solution is to provide an app that will help teachers connect to their innate wisdom and strengths. The Jabu Mind Team believes this will fortify their well-being and, therefore, their confidence in supporting not only students but also school communities in SEL (social and emotional learning).
Jill, Ann, Carolyn and I talk about:
~ how they came together to create and co-found the JabuMind App;
~ why they chose iRest as a foundational method of practice to their app offerings;
~ why self-care for teachers is more important now than any other time in history;
~ how teachers and schools can bring compassion, self-love, reflection, and in-depth discussions of well-being back into the classroom;
~ and so much more!
It was such a great conversation. I hope you gain a lot of value from it, and hope it inspires you to download the app and start connecting to your self-care needs anytime, anywhere.
If you enjoyed this episode, please share with a friend or family member so they too can easily connect to a mindful moment of inner rejuvenation through the app.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about living with less, also known as minimalism.
I invited Christine Platt, a minimalist and author of the new book, The Afrominimalist’s Guide To Living With Less, on the show to help you understand this concept and lifestyle a little more so you can gain a little more liberation in your everyday lifestyle.
I enjoyed my conversation with Christine Platt so much! It was fun, engaging, and perspective-shifting. I know that you will love it too.
Christine Platt is a modern-day Renaissance woman. From serving as an advocate for policy reform to using the power of storytelling as a tool for social change, Christine’s work reflects her practice of living with intention. She holds a BA in Africana Studies, an MA in African-American Studies, and a JD in General Law. Christine has written over two dozen literary works for people of all ages. When she’s not writing, Christine spends her time curating The Afrominimalist—a creative platform chronicling her journey to minimalism. Visit her online at The Afrominimalistor on Instagram @afrominimalist.
Christine and I talk about:
~ minimalism and afrominimalism;
~ what sparked her journey to live with less;
~ why we are attracted to and attached to material objects (the psychology of ownership);
~ how to let go of our attachments using Christine’s 4-step approach;
~ and so much more!
I hope you gain a lot of value from it, and hope it inspires you to start buying and creating your living spaces with more intention.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about how yoga and mindfulness are making their innovative mark in classrooms and schools around the globe.
I thought it was the perfect way to celebrate the 100th episode of the podcast, as the work of Yoga Ed. aligns completely with my mission on the podcast: focused energy, joy, and purpose every single day - for young people and big people alike!
My special guest, Brynne Caleda, began her journey with Yoga Ed. in 2005 as a top-performing trainer under the leadership of Tara Guber, offering in-person yoga education and training. Recognizing the importance of Yoga Ed.’s mission, Brynne made equity and access top priorities when she took ownership of the company in 2013. By spearheading the use of on-line platforms, Brynne strategically leveraged the company’s powerful results in the U.S. – as studied and vetted by Time Magazine, Harvard, Tulane, and more – to expand Yoga Ed.’s impact across the globe.
For the past 20 years, Brynne’s entrepreneurial mindset has created and scaled multiple successes in wellness education. These include the non-profit Stretch Your Imagination, which brings sustainable yoga programming to Hawaii’s schools; the digital media company Omolulu, which produced several popular wellness programs; and other ventures that highlight Byrnne’s parallel expertise in education, yoga, and values-based business.
Brynne and I talk about:
✨ her journey into mindfulness and yoga education, and eventually her co-ownership of Yoga Ed.;
✨ technology, equity, and access in education;
✨ the impact Yoga Ed.’s programming is having in schools and classrooms across the globe;
✨ the future of yoga and mindfulness in schools, and it’s place in the overall core curriculum;
✨ how yoga and mindfulness support social and emotional learning in schools;
✨ Brynne’s entrepreneurial experience, including her “values-based business” approach;
✨ and so much more!
It's such an enriching conversation. I hope you gain a lot of value and inspiration from it.

On this week’s podcast episode I’m talking about toxic positivity.
Toxic positivity is a form of communication that can invalidate the complexity of our emotional terrain. As I discuss in this episode, it’s the tendency to invalidate difficult emotions such as anger, fear, frustration, sadness, and grief.
I wanted to spend some time on this topic because while I’m a big advocate of having a positive growth mindset and feel the research is clear that it’s important to our overall success, it’s not at the expense of naming, managing, and processing difficult emotions.
We must have the skillset to cultivate a positive mindset and outlook, and walk through difficult emotions and challenges if we desire to reach our goals, have healthy relationships, and experience authentic joy in our lives. It’s key to building resilience, and whole success.
In this episode I define what toxic positivity is, how to recognize it in our communication and others’ communication, and I’m sharing some pro-active tips to transform any toxic positivity communication tendencies into a style that honors the complexity of our emotional landscape, thus contributing to our overall success and well-being.
When we honor the complexity of our emotional landscape and lean into difficult emotions, we create more opportunity and possibility for connection and creativity in our lives.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about low self-worth, how it can create an insidious parenting dynamic with our kids that causes unnecessary mental and emotional pain and suffering, and how to break the cycle so our kids grow up confident and emotionally intelligent.
With her groundbreaking research, Maggie Nick has cultivated a global community of cycle breakers – parents changing the trajectory of their children’s lives. A decade of healing her own childhood trauma informed and inspired Maggie’s work counseling children and adults, leading to her groundbreaking insights on the root causes of low self-worth in modern parenting and how we’re told to discipline our kids.
Her own parenting framework, Parenting With Perspectacles, has a global community from 30 countries. With truth bombs and brutal honesty, she offers a comprehensive framework to use for kids of all ages. She helps parents tap into their own experiences of low self-worth, and then helps them understand critical shifts to make in their own parenting to raise kids who can actually feel their feelings and deeply know their worth.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing how one mindfulness & yoga educator in schools has pivoted her teaching practices in the pandemic, and personally grown in the process.
Jodi Smith, or “Ms. Yoga”, as she is lovingly called by her students, has taught yoga and mindfulness to over 800 children full-time at KIPP Connect Primary in Houston, Texas since 2017. Jodi centers her lessons on social-emotional learning, social justice, and mindfulness.
Whether you teach yoga & mindfulness, or another content area in schools, parent kids and guide them through their on-line lessons at home, or still work from home due to the pandemic, I have no doubt you will find value in Jodi’s journey of teaching, pivoting, and growing in this challenging time.

Happy Day, Friend!
On this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing one of my fave year-end practices – intentions, word stones, and fire ceremony.
2020 has been a heck of a year filled with so many different emotions. We’ve had to adapt in so many ways using zoom rooms, social distancing, masking, and seeing each other in real face-to-face time less and less.
It’s been filled with loss, grief, pain, disappointment and so many challenges on many different levels. Luckily, all this challenge isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Challenge is good. It helps us grow.
And, in order to grow stronger and brighter in the near year, I’m sharing a practice to help you release all that built up emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual tension from the prior year.
It’s time to win 2021 and let the hard lessons of 2020 help you shine your light in the new year, but before you do that, it’s important to release the old energy first.
I take you through the step-by-step process to release the old energy using an ancient method - fire ceremony. Once you clear the old energy out you can invite the new energy in using intentions. Keep a visual reminder of your 2021 intention by creating a word stone and place it on your desk or in your quiet/meditation area in your home.
When you face new challenges in the year (and we all will), you can use your word stone as a visual reminder, and a point of inspiration, to re-direct your energy to stay empowered through the process of reaching what you are aiming towards.
I’ll be sharing my annual intentions, word stone, and fire ceremony on social media. Would love to know how yours goes! Definitely share with me (screen shot yours, share on social media, and tag me!)
You can use this practice at home, with friends, students, work, or at school. Make it work for you, and add your own special spark to the experience.
Ready to shine your light in 2021?!

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about how you can find the answers you are seeking by tuning into the discernment of your heart.
It’s really an art, and a science (like most things in life, right?!). It’s not about choosing the mind intelligence over the heart intelligence, but using them together.
My special guest today, is Moncef Afkir. Moncef’s journey is a testament to how we can tune into the discernment of our heart, and use the intelligence of our mind, working in concert in order to lead a spiritually fulfilled life.
Moncef is the host of the Mothers’ Voice Podcast and the Your Divine Uniqueness Show. In 2013, he left his career as an engineer to follow his passion for spirituality.
He created Your Divine Uniqueness Show, inviting spiritual leaders to support others on their spiritual awakening journey and in expressing their unique gifts.
Afterwards, he felt strongly guided to serve mothers. He created Mothers’ Voice Podcast, where he interviews mothers who are leaders, authors, and spiritual teachers, to share their stories, teachings and tools, to inspire mothers to find and express their voice in their own unique way.
If you are searching for answers as you begin to envision the new year ahead, I think you will find value from Moncef’s journey. Perhaps his voice will be a light in your own.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing all about how to introduce affirmations to your kids so they can shift their negative self-talk to a more empowering inner dialogue using affirmations.
Affirmations, or the power of positive self-talk, can help your kids shift their mindset during challenging times so they can act from a place of empowered being instead of spiraling down into the dark abyss of negative self-talk, and the accompanying unpleasant emotions and inaction it can generate.
I lay out seven (7) reasons why affirmations work and share seven (7) ways to practically use them with your kids or students. All my suggestions and recommendations apply to adults too!

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing my latest tips and tricks that I’ve been personally using to optimize my mind and body in the midst of a really, really hard season – collectively and individually.
In early July, my health took a down turn with my skin breaking out in uncomfortable, and at times, debilitating, hives on my body and hands. I had to completely revise my normal eating and supplement routines from scratch.
So, I’m sharing what’s been working in giving me the most vitality, clarity and energy. I also share about my struggle with histamine-rich foods, my hormonal imbalance, and what I’m doing to fight the adverse impact of these things naturally.
Not all things work for all people. Please understand that each of us is unique, and what may work for me, may not work for you.
I hope my story inspires you to take inventory of your own diet, nutrition, and health. And, to investigate what you can do to optimize your mental, emotional, and physical energy levels from a more natural and holistic approach.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about the nature of self and our real Self, also known as our spiritual nature.
My special guest, Sujan Shah, is a mindfulness practitioner and keynote speaker.
Sujan grew up talking about philosophy around his family dinner table, and now talks to others about the nature of who we are, what our greater purpose is from this spiritual perspective, and why this information and knowledge is important to living a joyful, whole, and peaceful life.
I love this conversation with Sujan because we take some heavy philosophical, abstract concepts and really try to break them down and make them practical and relatable to your everyday life.
Whatever you believe, and whatever religion you practice, you will find Sujan’s secular approach to understanding our spiritual nature enlightening, and you may even find a new insight from our chat that can invigorate your own spiritual and religious practices!

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about mental health.
October 10th is World Mental Health Day, and throughout the month of October there are a variety of organizations raising awareness about mental health.
As many of you know, mental health awareness is near and dear to my heart, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share an incredibly inspiring journey of how one man's battle with suicidal ideation turned into a life filled with meaning and purpose.
My special guest, Jesse Cody, is the founder of the mantra-turned-movement, Hike The Good Hike (HTGH). HTGH is focused on suicide prevention and seeks to help people cultivate positive, nature-based lifestyles.
We chat about his life journey with depression and suicidal ideation, and how hiking the entire Appalachian Trail, the longest hiking-only footpath in the world, ranging from Maine to Georgia, over a 7-month period, changed his life.
It was on the trail, alone in nature, walking 2,200 miles battling his own tough mental space, that Jesse discovered his purpose – guiding others that also struggle with mental health issues and speaking about the healing power of nature to help shift depression and suicidal ideation from draining the life out of you, to a life filled with meaning, purpose, and ultimately, joy.
If you or anyone you know struggle with mental health, I hope Jesse's story inspires you with hope and reassurance, that you are not alone in the mental health fight, and that it is possible to shift difficult and challenging thoughts through the healing power of nature.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing some of my fav mind training tools. These tools are great for all ages!
It’s a process of training our mind in focused attention. As Dr. Dan Seigel says, “The heart of training the mind is how we learn to focus attention.” ~
When we learn to master ourselves, we learn how to create the life we truly desire. The father of modern psychology, William James said, “The training of attention allows one to become a master of oneself.”
When you learn to train your attention, you will have the most important skill you need to create anything in life you’ve ever wanted.
It's possible for you, and the young people you teach, lead, and serve.
Want more?
If you are ready to dive more deeply into using these tools, you want to have an experienced mindfulness coach help you navigate your own mental and emotional terrain so you can be the best educator or parent you can be, and you want to show up with ready-to-use mindfully-centered SEL tools in your home or class then be sure to check out my program re-opening up this fall – Mindfulness Education University for Educators.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about building resilience.
My special guest, Jay Abbasi, talks about his personal journey through grief and loss when he lost his father to a heart attack in 2014. It was learning self-observation through mindfulness practices that transformed Jay’s life and helped him build resilience, better mental and physical health, and relationships.
Jay discovered his purpose through his grief and loss journey, and now is dedicated to sharing these tools with businesses so they too can help those they lead to transform their relationship to stress, burnout, and overwhelm, and build resilience. Jay shares that transforming our relationship to these states of mind are vital to building a productive and sustainable work culture.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing several reflective journaling and breathing practices specifically for youth.
I won’t tell if you use them, too! Seriously, they are great for all ages.
Kids are plugged in to technology almost 24/7, they are more stressed than ever, and though we don’t have any hard date on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their social and emotional health, we can take a healthy surmise and see there will no doubt be some adverse SEL impacts here.
It’s nothing we can’t tackle though, so that’s why I’m sharing these tools now.
If you are ready to dive more deeply into using these tools, you want to have an experienced mindfulness coach help you navigate your own mental and emotional terrain so you can be the best educator or parent you can be, and you want to show up with ready-to-use mindfully-centered SEL tools in your home or class then be sure to check out my program re-opening up this fall – Mindfulness Education University for Educators.

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about some really hard things! I’m taking on the topic of prejudice, discrimination, and racism.
Several weeks ago, I attended an amazing virtual conference on anti-racism called Be About It Live organized by @callmeshivy and @getyourteachon.
There I learned about Dr. Grant’s work on Mindful Discomfort and I’m excited to share it with you today.
We talk about his journey into becoming a clinical psychologist, and we unpack the details of what “mindful discomfort” means in the context of racism and structural racism.
We also talk about black mental health, racial trauma, and what role mindfulness may play as a healing modality to break down oppressive barriers within each of us.
I hope our conversation inspires you to take on the work of racial equity in a new and big way.

If you’ve ever struggled with student engagement in the classroom (haven’t all educators at some point?!), then you will love this episode all about increasing student performance and engagement inside (and outside) the classroom using the framework with neuroscience underpinnings created by Brain-centric Design.
The Brain-Centric Design approach helps teachers and students:
~ Acquire skills and knowledge faster;
~ Increases student retention;
~ Reduces attrition;
~ Helps manage energy and time;
~ Increases the joy factor in teaching and learning;
~ Helps you understand the science behind teaching and learning (so you can be more effective with your students).
I hope you enjoy my chat with Rich Carr, author of Brain-centric Design, and enjoy implementing some of these practices into your classroom.

Did you know that language acquisition can grow your brain... like the higher cognitive functions of your brain?
As we become more globally connected, learning a second language is becoming more key in living a fulfilled, and authentically connected life with those in our communities.
It’s also another way to refine our mindfulness skills and cultivate creativity in our life.
So, on this week’s podcast episode, I had the opportunity to chat with language educator and woman of many passions, Caroline Simmons Robinson.
We talk about all the things language, movement, and joy, including:
~ How language acquisition helps grow our higher cognitive brain functions;
~ Why language acquisition is important to building authentic and diverse relationships;
~ How mindfulness is helping Caroline and her students become more responsive and less reactive;
~ How movement and joy are key ingredients to an educator’s self-care regimen;
~ Tip + tools to help you increase your health and wellness factor;
~ And, so much more!

I know many of you out there are struggling with emotional overwhelm, anxiety, and you are taxed mentally with all the demands on your mental energy.
If we could just have the magic bullet to help us get balanced in all the ways everything will be well right?!
Unfortunately, there’s no magic bullet, but there are a set of practices that can help us reach our unique mental, emotional, and physical balance each day.
These practices come from the ancient tradition of yoga.
Yoga is so much more than those pretty poses you see on Instagram. Many people practice yoga to seek balance, peace, and joy in their lives.
I had the opportunity to chat with yoga teacher, author, and lecturer, Eddie Stern, on the podcast show this week.
His new book, One Simple Thing: A New Look at the Science of Yoga is now available for purchase!
We talk about all things yoga and science, including:
~ Learning the language of the body and how this language can help us understand our emotional and mental state (and intentionally shift it);
~ How we can cultivate moderation in our life – with food, movement, and rest;
~ Eddie’s work and research with yoga in schools;
~ Eddie’s mentorship program, Urban Yogis;
~ The importance of community in healing emotional injuries;
~ Tip + tools to help you reduce stress and anxiety and live more joyfully and mindfully; and
~ So much more!

Have you ever wondered when you give your kids points, stars, money, or rewards of any kind why there isn’t a lasting correlative behavior change?
We can all be caught in that cycle! Points and rewards matter, but we are making them matter too much.
Our best intentions to help our kids and students succeed can actually backfire and have the opposite effect.
So, what can we do to help our kids and students grow into independent, critical thinking, and hard-working young adults?
I had the opportunity to chat with Jessica Lahey, the New York Time’s bestselling author of The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed, and she shares tons of great insights and information to help us all be the best educators, leaders, and parents we can be.
We talk about all the things related to failure, motivation, rewards, and kids, including:
~ How to help our kids and students do well and succeed without solely focusing on rewards;
~ How to let our kids and students fail, but keep strong expectations and boundaries;
~ How to become an autonomous supportive parent versus directive parent, and why that distinction is important;
~ How the fear of failure impacts various social and economic classes;
~ Tip + tools to help parents and teachers cultivate autonomy, competence, and connection in student/child relationships; and
~ So much more!

It’s suicide prevention month.
Having been intimately touched by such a gut-wrenching experience at the passing of my older one’s father 5 years ago to suicide, I know deeply in my bones that these devastating tragedies can be prevented with proper support, including preventative measures that start in childhood.
I talk about the current depression and suicide statistics, the possible “why” behind suicide, and what we can do to prevent so many precious lives from ending way too early.
I also get a little vulnerable and raw with sharing my personal story as a suicide survivor.
I would love to hear how you are using the 5 strategies I shared to help turn back this suicide rate tide! Every voice and action matters.
If you or someone you know needs immediate help with suicide concerns, please reach out to suicidepreventationlifeline.org or call 800.273.TALK
This is a heavy topic. Take few moments to breathe deep and process. Please share with anyone that has been impacted by depression and/or suicide.

I’m so thrilled for you to listen to my chat with Dr. MeMe Brown! She’s such a radically unapologetic and vibrant advocate for women, and for women of faith.
We talk about Dr. MeMe’s struggle with people pleasing (where are my ladies… can y’all relate?!), which ultimately led her to realize that she went through an identity crisis where she found herself being and doing for everyone else, except for her.
In this struggle, Dr. MeMe discovered that the inauthentic life she was living was suffocating the life out of her and others around her, and God desired that she be her unique self despite what others thought she should be.
As Dr. MeMe says, “I chose to live.”
And, live she did. She’s trailblazing a new way for women ministers and adding her own unique flare to the mix as an established speaker, revolutionary thinker, and transformational leader.
You will love her journey and the vibrant wisdom she has to share. For anyone going through an identity crisis and needing a little extra inspiration and empowerment, this episode is for you!
She also gives us some great tips to help us live our true self and build strong community.

Today on the show I’m coming to you solo style! I know from talking to many of you that you are feeling so much stress, overwhelm, and burnout. While I do generally address these topics on the podcast, I wanted to dedicate an episode specifically on the various kinds of self-care strategies that are important to keeping you healthy in mind, body, and spirit.
I also share a recent personal experience with an emotional breakdown I had after a long creative phase of a project and I talk about what I did in the aftermath of that breakdown.
I hope you find these strategies valuable. Let me know which self-care strategies you will be committing to over the next several months as we step into one of the busiest seasons of the year!

Today on the show I am excited to share my chat with former educator and author of the 8 book character education series, The Adventures of Peacebe and the Heartwatch.
You will love Leneen’s book series and her journey into creating and writing her book series for kids, parents, and schools.
We talk about the development of the Peacebe series; Leneen’s personal journey into creating the series and how struggle played a role in fueling her passion and purpose; and why you need to stock up on these books for your home, classroom, and school.
For my non-educational leaders out there, I want you to listen to how character development can be linked to ongoing personal and professional development, particularly as it relates to emotional and social intelligence.
Leneen also gives us some great guidance to help us all refine and continue to grow in our character development journey.

Today on the show I am thrilled to share my chat with Bishop Andrew Doyle. Bishop Doyle is an expert in all the important ingredients that go into building diverse, positive, and lasting communities.
Grab your notepad, especially my leaders, educators, and parents out there! There are tons of golden nuggets of wisdom in this episode to help you build the communities of your dreams - whether you are working with teams, schools, and families.
We talk about the differences between culture and community, front door evangelism and how we can apply that in an ecumenical and secular environment, extreme learners and the reemergence of craftsmanship (and why you must know about this and work to cultivate it in those you lead), how we can share our differences for the value of the common good, dissipative moments and self-renewal within our communities (and how we can navigate these tougher moments of relating), and so much more!
As Bishop Doyle reminds us, “There is a story. The core of the story is a creation that has humanity in the midst of it as sense making creatures and that sense making is to bind us together in common work for the good of the whole and for relationship with the divine, and to pull us into a deeper relationship with those things that are outside of us.”

Happy Day, Friend!
I want you to visualize me giving you a virtual high ten! This episode is a celebratory one for sure!
I really wanted episode 20 to be a special treat because it’s the big #20 for Mindful Living with Athea Davis and I’m thrilled to continue to share and grow in all things mindful living with you.
My guest today is Christina Sell. Christina is an expert in her craft as a yoga teacher and trainer. She’s been practicing and teaching for nearly 30 years! Christina has so much wisdom and practical guidance to share.
This episode is all about Wholeness and Freedom and using the path of yoga to get there.
There’s something in this episode for everyone – whether you are just getting curious about this yoga stuff or you have been a practitioner for years.
Christina and I chat about why she chose yoga as a physical and spiritual practice, body image issues, the insta age of quick fix and look good fast, what motivates us to take the self-discovery path, how we can navigate struggles in a more empowering way, and she also talks about the wise part of us that is whole, complete, and intact and, there’s so much more!
Dive into this special episode with my teacher and yogi mentor, Christina Sell, who has taught me, and thousands of others around the world so much about yoga and how it can help us achieve freedom and wholeness in our everyday life. I’m certain you will learn something from her story and take it to make your own.
As Christina says, “When we tell the truth about where we are, that’s where shame gets dissolved.”
After tuning into this episode I know you will be able to clear some obstacles out of your own life; share them with those you lead, parent, and/or serve; and find joy in connecting to your wise self.

I'm coming to you solo style today!
I want to check in with you and say "Thank you" for supporting this podcast all the way to episode 19. Before I bring you the 20th episode next week (can you believe it?!), I want to take a moment to reflect and share on the purpose of the podcast, and what to expect next.
Since the first episode, you will find a mix of solo style topics hosted and taught by me and interview style episodes where I bring you a diverse group of thought leaders that live a Mindful Living life in their own unique way.
So, I thought it would be a great idea to give you my version of what it means to live a Mindful Living kind of life. Then, my 9 guiding principles were born.
I talk about the 9 guiding principles of living a Mindful Living life and hope you find them practical, useful, and valuable for living your own Mindful Living life. By no means is this an exhaustive guide.
The principles I discuss are simply a guide for you to reflect on, practice, and make your own.
As I move forward with episode 20 (coming next week!) and beyond, you can continue to expect valuable content with a mix of diverse thought leaders on the show + solo podcasts addressing a variety of mindful living issues to help you live your life with purpose, joy, and focused energy every day.
Let me know what you think!

On today's episode, I dive into a wee bit of yoga philosophy from the Yoga Sutras, looking at attachment (raga) and non-attachment (vairagya).
I've been reflecting a lot about attachment lately because of the tea cup story I share in this episode (and on the episode with Gaelyn Godwin, Abbot of the Houston Zen Center).
I thought you may find it valuable to understand that when we are attached to people, experiences, and objects we tend to feel a push-pull cycle of pleasure and pain, happy and unhappy. This cycle is a tough place to be and creates so much craziness in our life!
With mindfulness practices we can cultivate the art of freedom from attachment, meaning we are free from ego-driven personal desires for personal gain, which leads us away from that crazy push-pull cycle of pleasure and pain. Thank goodness!
We can also choose to shift that motive of personal desires for personal gain to a motive of personal desires to serve others that's driven by something beyond ourselves.
This way of being helps us cultivate and maintain a state of contentment and equanimity. Awe, let's breathe that one in a few times.
I give you two tools to use to cultivate non-attachment. Enjoy the freedom and joy they can bring to your day, relationships, and life.
Keep breathing deep and shining bright, Friend!

I hope you enjoy this bonus mama bear's day episode with me and my older son, Kane Davis.
Several years ago, Kane lost his father, and I lost my ex-husband, to suicide.
It was a very painful time in our lives and it still is very painful at times.
I know many moms love to make things better for their kiddos. But, there are some things that just don't get better with bandaids.
Emotional and spiritual pain is something you must process, not cover up.
As we celebrate our moms, and being a mom, this weekend, let's be reminded that though moms help with the literal bumps and bruises of life, they also help with the emotional and spiritual bumps and bruises along the way.
May Kane's story help you discover a little more courage that you didn't know you had and may that discovery help you shine a little light in any dark place that you are sifting through in this season of your life.
If you find value in this podcast, please subscribe, rate and review, and share!

I am so excited for you to listen to my warm chat and interview with Kim Bearden of the highly acclaimed Ron Clark Academy.
We chat about her new book, Talk to Me: Find the Right Words to Inspire, Encourage, and Get Things Done.
Kim and I dive into her 6 principals of effective communication where she begins by sharing her story about opening up publicly for the first time about struggle, pain, and adversity.
Kim reminds us that in the depths of darkness, we find enlightenment and forgiveness.
She also wisely says that we have the choice to transform our feelings of any loss of power in a new way - by using our pain to transform feelings of loss into empowered action.
Kim says, "A heart without hurt is hollow."
I know you will find value from this interview whether you are an educator, parent, leader, or anyone wanting to make improvements in their communication and use their struggles and adversities to redefine any loss of power into an empowered way of being, which helps us have happier and healthier relationships, and a joy-filled, sparkly bright life.

Happy Day, Friends! On Episode 9 of Mindful Living with Athea Davis, I talk about how yoga can grow and stretch your mind (kid friendly, too!).
We take a closer look at yoga beyond what you see on the yoga mat in a studio. I discuss two of the eight limbs (or stages) of yoga that have a powerful impact on altering your restless mind state and can transform your pain and struggle to a place of joy and authentically empowered living. Each day. And, in every way.
I also share some practical tips to help you and yours grow and stretch your mind so you can spread your joy and sparkle in the world (and, yes, you'll get a strong body, too).

Happy Day, Friends! On Episode 8 of Mindful Living with Athea Davis, I talk about modeling the behavior we want to see in others. It's a powerful tool and way of life!
People learn so much from the way we behave instead of the things we actually say. This is especially true for our kids and students! Behavior is the way we express our thoughts and emotions. If you wonder why you say the same thing over and over again to your kids and nothing sticks, check if your behavior is aligning with your words.
In this episode I share 5 (five) ways to teach through behavior and start enjoying that sparkly connection you really desire with your kids or your students (and anyone else in your life!).

Happy Day, Friends! On Episode 6 of Mindful Living with Athea Davis I release part 2 of my interview with Marissa Ford, a second grade teacher in the Houston Independent School District. We continue our discussion of the struggles black students from low socio-economic backgrounds face in education today, particularly black women students in STEM programs (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), and how mindfulness can play a role in helping students self-regulate intense emotions and change negative thought patterns so they can create a more empowering story for themselves and their families.
This is part 2 of a 2-part interview. To listen to part 1 of my interview with Marissa Ford go check out Episode 5.

Happy Day, Friends! On Episode 4 of Mindful Living with Athea Davis I talk about how failure creates the tension we need for continued personal growth and development. I give you 4 tips (that I use in my own life) to help you get through the painful personal growth process and to successfully get to the other side where you will find all the sparkly magic + a good dose of joy along the way (yes, even in the hard stuff).
Happy Day, Friends! On Episode 3 of Mindful Living with Athea Davis, I'm talking about the thing that all masters have in common. In the last two episodes, we've been talking about our goals for the new year and seeking clarity on our goals. There's an important trait we must all have in order to get the clarity we are seeking and it's the ONE thing all masters have in common. Why should you care about mastery? The world needs your joy and sparkle in the world! And guess what? It's going to take a bit of walking the path of mastery to go spread your sparkle. So, come on in and discover the one thing you need to get spreading your joy - here, there, and everywhere. Happy listening!
Happy Day, Friends! On Episode 2 of Mindful Living with Athea Davis we're going to talk about how to get clarity on your goal. Last week we looked at the SMART goal framework when working on your most important goal of the year. I think one of the hardest steps in the SMART goal framework is the "S"- getting specific with our goal. In fact, many of us struggle with being clear with our goals and our message. It makes perfect sense to us, but if we share with someone else it's likely our goal may sound kinda fuzzy. Worry no more! I have some super practical tips for you to apply in your life right now to help you get more clear on your goal so you can do what you are meant to do - spread your joy and sparkle in the world!
Happy Day, Friends! On today's very first episode of Mindful Living with Athea Davis we're going to talk about SMART goals! In order to get our art, our unique stamp out into the world, we must set goals. And, in order to succeed at our goals, we must have a structure. I love teaching the SMART goal framework whether you are 5 or 105. So, come on in and let's learn, grow, and succeed together.
