As we move out of spring and into summer, we explore one more ‘beginning’ by asking: How can we become more present and less attached to thoughts, the past, or the future?
In this episode, we’re joined by a special guest, Maria Chietera – ICF-certified PCC Coach, Mindfulness Meditation and Yoga Teacher.
So listen in as we move between personal stories about finding presence, the deeper meaning of mindfulness, Buddhist philosophy, grounding practices, and how life can be seen as a playful invitation to create, express, and just be.
To close, soothe your nervous system with a gentle meditation led by our wonderful guest, Maria.
You can find her at @maria.chietera.coach, and we highly recommend subscribing to her thoughtful and inspiring newsletter that we’re both huge fans of. Find it here.
And since it’s Summer Solstice, as an extra bonus treat, we prepared some journal prompts for you to play around with:
What have I learned about myself during this past season (spring)?
As we enter the new outer season, in what areas of my life am I being invited to slow down and be more present?
What would it look like to treat life more like a creative, playful experiment?
What rituals or practices can I welcome in this summer to stay grounded and connected to myself?
