Happy All The Holidays! It’s almost the solstice and the end of the calendar year, so it felt like a natural time to pause and reflect.
In this short episode, I recap some of my favorite podcast moments from the past year. A few themes really stood out across multiple conversations:
- the symbiotic relationship of mindful movement and meditation practices
- what it looks like to integrate (or de-compartmentalize) practices like yoga and sitting meditation
- the reasons we practice and how we’ve found mindful movement and meditation beneficial
- the accessibility of movement and meditation practice for diverse bodies and neurodivergent minds.
I also pull back the curtain a bit to update you on some of my projects, including my work-in-progress book and new plans for the coming year. This includes some thoughts about how the elephant-in-the-room (aka political climate in the US) is shaping my intentions and what I want my work to look like going into 2025.
I don’t always adopt a “word of the year,” but right now, it feels like a little extra compass to navigate the unknown. So, listen and hear what I’ve chosen as my 2025 word - and let me know if you have one, too!
And, thanks for listening to the podcast this year - I so appreciate knowing that there are others out there interested in these heartful, mindful, bodyful practices.
