In this episode of The Becoming Mindful Podcast, Maria and Jackie explore how mindfulness serves as a catalyst for change. While change is constant and inevitable, mindfulness allows us to navigate it with awareness and intention rather than resistance. We discuss how society often imposes artificial expectations and control, making change feel forced and unnatural. By practicing mindfulness, we can soften our approach, recognize interconnectedness, and foster change in a way that is more balanced and holistic. The conversation also touches on sustainability, the importance of reciprocity with nature, and how embracing mindfulness can lead to societal shifts toward equity and ecological harmony.
