In a world obsessed with doing, fixing, and optimizing —
Let mindfulness be your permission to just notice.

Feel the tightness in your chest.
Feel the clench in your jaw.
Feel the emotion rising.

You don’t need to change it right away.
Just stay present with it.

That’s the healing.

If your body feels reactive, it’s not because you’re “too sensitive” or “dramatic.”
It’s your nervous system asking for care.

Regulation begins with noticing.
And often, the first step is giving yourself permission to slow down.

You don’t always need a breakthrough.

Sometimes, you just need to be held — by yourself.

In the middle of your overthinking, before a hard conversation,
or at the end of a long day when you feel like you didn’t “do enough”…

That’s when the body most needs a sign of safety.

You don’t need to earn rest.
You don’t need to explain your tenderness.

Even one quiet moment of self-kindness can change the course of your day.

💛 More mercy. Fewer regrets. That’s a good trade.

🌿🌿🌿🌿

✨If you’re learning to hold space for others while still holding yourself — we’re here to support you.

You don’t have to extinguish your emotions to be mindful.
In fact, they often carry the wisdom you’re seeking.

The key isn’t to avoid the fire —
It’s to sit near it long enough to see clearly.

Sadness, joy, rage, tenderness — they all have something to show you.
But only if you’re willing to pause and rest beside them.

🕯️ The path lights up when you stop running.

⭐ Save this for the next time your thoughts feel louder than your breath.

What it’s about
“Mindfulness” and “meditation” are often used like twins—but they aren’t identical. In this live session, I’ll unpack the differences (and overlaps) between the two, share practical ways to integrate them into daily life and professional settings, and guide you through a centering practice—evidence-based, trauma-sensitive, and rooted in care.

What’s included

Live guided meditation to settle, sense, and embody presence

Q&A / AMA — bring your questions on practice, teaching, and obstacles

Mini-trainings on teaching mindfulness & meditation across roles and modalities (1:1, groups, healthcare, coaching, classrooms, workplaces, online, and more)

Evidence & ethics — research-backed benefits, scope of practice, and compassionate boundaries

You’ll leave with

A clear understanding of how mindfulness and meditation differ—and how they support each other

Practical scripts, prompts, and frameworks you can use immediately

Teaching tips for various contexts (timeboxed practices, micro-lessons, secular and inclusive language, safety & accessibility)

Next steps to deepen your own practice while supporting others with integrity

Who it’s for
Curious newcomers, seasoned practitioners, coaches, counselors, therapists, yoga teachers, educators, healthcare professionals, and workplace leaders—anyone who wants to practice or teach with confidence and care.

How to join

Where: YouTube (with simulcast to our social channels)

When: Wednesday, 11:00 AM–1:00 PM Pacific

Cost: Free

What to bring: A notebook, comfortable seat, and your questions

You don’t need to constantly do more to be a “good” mindfulness teacher.
You don’t need to sound more spiritual, or fix everyone’s suffering.

The truth is:
✨ Your presence is the practice.
✨ The way you breathe, pause, and listen — is the teaching.
✨ Who you are, not what you perform, holds the power.

Let this month be a soft return to what really matters.

Many students arrive expecting mindfulness to feel like an instant spa day.
And while practice can absolutely soften tension,
its purpose isn’t to guarantee calm.

🌿 The true work is awareness:
staying present with whatever is happening—
even when the body is restless or the mind is busy.

As a teacher, naming this difference protects your students from discouragement
and frees them to celebrate progress they might otherwise overlook.

There’s a quiet shame that can show up in meditation —
the feeling that you’re “not doing it right” because you can’t sit still.

But movement is mindfulness.

Your presence doesn’t need to happen on a cushion.
It can happen while walking, stretching, sipping, folding laundry.

The key is not stillness. It’s awareness.

The question isn’t: Can I sit perfectly?
It’s: Can I meet this moment fully, as I am?

🧘‍♂️ Let your life become the practice.

Not every day is bright and breezy.

Some mornings start off “meh.”
Midday brings comparison storms.
And by evening, you’re just hoping for a little calm.

Here’s the reminder I keep coming back to:
Your emotions aren’t problems to solve — they’re weather to witness.

Temporary. Moving. Shifting. Never the full story.

The breath becomes your umbrella.
Movement, your sunlight.
Gratitude, the clearing sky.

🌦 You don’t need to feel good to be okay.

You just need to stay with what’s here — gently, honestly, moment by moment.

🍃🍃🍃🍃

Some days your practice will feel like a breakthrough.
Other days, it’ll feel like doing the dishes.

The longer I’ve practiced, the more I’ve come to love the quiet days —
the ones where nothing big happens, but I showed up anyway.

Because that’s where the real transformation lives…
in the ordinary, honest return to the present moment.

💡 Mindfulness isn’t about the peaks.
It’s about the ground beneath your feet.

🌿🌿🌿🌿

If this kind of reminder helps you breathe a little deeper… you’re not alone here.

Even experienced teachers feel that small panic before a session.
The voice that whispers, Who am I to lead this?

🌿 Remember:
Nerves don’t mean you’re unqualified.
They mean the work matters to you.

Breathe.
Guide one mindful minute.
Let your presence speak louder than doubt.

There’s a kind of strength that comes from not running.
From sitting by the fire — fear, grief, anger — and not abandoning yourself.

Not to be consumed by it…
but to learn: I can feel this and still be safe.

The heat might rise. The stories might swirl.
But the more you sit, the more you trust…

🌕 That safety isn’t the absence of intensity — it’s the presence of awareness.

If this met you right where you are… stay close. There’s more like this.
