This meditation practice is an opportunity to cultivate non-judgment as we begin to express ourselves more authentically. It can be easy to second guess these truer parts of ourselves, to feel embarrassed, wrong or uncomfortable after putting yourself out there in a vulnerable and real way. 

Dr. Laura Morgan Roberts reminds us that, “The freedom to be average is also the grace granted for imperfect works-in-progress."

Shall we be average together for a bit? My colleague Tiffany Johnson leads this practice.

This week, Tiffany Johnson and I continue to explore authenticity as a journey thanks to the research of Dr. Laura Morgan Roberts.

In this episode, Tiffany talks to us about cultivating a practice of non-judgment as we step more fully into ourselves within our work and personal lives. I share a little about my experience of authentic expression while creating my app and the surprising part that almost derailed the whole project.

Join us for today’s discussion and practice!

Today’s mini meditation invites us to experience authenticity not as a static endpoint but as a journey. A perpetually evolving place that invites us to take the next best step even when we can’t see the full picture.

Join me for today’s practice. 

In this week's meditation, I continue to co-teach with my friend Tiffany Johnson.

We return to the idea of tapping into the steady space within - not only because of its steadiness but because of what it may be telling us about what we want, need, and feel in the present moment. Drawing upon the work of Dr. Laura Morgan Roberts, we begin talking about authenticity as a journey made up of acts or expressions that originate from the source. It is here - at the source - that we may begin to understand how to take the next best step, even when we feel uncertain. In doing so, we may also become aware of ways to creatively craft our environments - be they work, life, parenthood, community, or something at the intersections. In all, we affirm that life and work - just like authenticity - are big journeys made up of small moments. We affirm that our practice of mindfulness meditation- through present moment awareness - can help us be on these journeys, and take the next best step along the way.

Join my friend and colleague, Tiffany Johnson, as she guides us through a meditation designed to wake us up to our true Self and how we relate to ourselves both on the cushion and at work. 

This meditation is an excerpt from our April Meditation Series: Passion & Paychecks. The full class airs each Thursday on this podcast. 

Whew, y’all…. This meditation series is ALL THINGS WORK RELATED! This series developed out of a conversation with my regular Monday night crew - we were talking about some of the everyday struggles that come up at work, the tug to do something different, even feeling creatively stifled...⁠

⁠

And so, this series was born... Even more exciting, I’m co-teaching this series alongside a friend/student/colleague - Tiffany Johnson.

This series is for you if you:⁠

✔️ struggle with workplace stress⁠

✔️ aren't quite sure how to navigate the tension between your passion/s and your paycheck⁠

✔️ love elements of your job but hate the necessary tasks that accompany it⁠

⁠

Join Tiffany & me in today’s episode of The Mindful Minute as we discuss work, mindfulness, 4th spaces and how we relate.

Today’s mini meditation is the Elemental Purification practice we did throughout last month’s meditation series: Our Elemental Nature. You can do this practice anytime you want to feel more connected to Earth, Nature and her elements. It is especially potent to do this practice outside, if you have the opportunity.

Enjoy!

Y’all... I have been waiting for almost a full year to share this episode with you! It has felt like the biggest, most exciting secret, and now I can finally share this joy with you!

As you know by now, I have been working tirelessly on a new meditation app called Shoreline, and one of my creative partners in this endeavour is acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton.

I sat down with Gordon a few weeks ago to talk about the Songs of Spring and what is really offered in the “opportunities of now” - let’s listen together.
