Why is it hard to let go of self-doubt, and how can mindfulness help?
In this episode, we explore how mindfulness gives us the power to let go of the persistent thoughts that say we`re "not good enough." While those thoughts don’t disappear overnight, the practice of observing them without reacting allows us to shift our focus to thoughts that support our growth and healing.

Why is it so hard to separate our thoughts from our reality?
In today’s episode, we discuss how easy it is to become convinced by negative thoughts, like "I`m not worthy" or "I`m a bad person." When these thoughts flood our minds, they can feel like truth. But mindfulness allows us to sit back and observe them from a distance, helping us identify where they’re coming from and choose healthier thoughts that support our growth.

How can mindfulness help us navigate the river of negative thoughts?
In today’s episode, we introduce the concept of the "thought river," where negative thoughts flow continuously, shaped by our history and experiences. Rather than getting caught in the current, mindfulness allows us to step back and observe these thoughts, helping us break free from their hold. Tune in to hear how this practice can lead to greater self-compassion and healing.

Can you tolerate discomfort long enough to create lasting change?
In today’s episode, we discuss how embracing discomfort is a key part of the healing process. As we build our ability to sit with discomfort, we begin to tolerate difficult moments and slowly shift our responses. Mindfulness helps us navigate these moments, leading to deeper integration and long-term growth.
