In this debut episode, hosts Kiera Hanselman and Lauren Tancredi introduce The Zen Curious and share their personal journeys of self-awareness and spiritual awakening. The episode sets the tone for the podcast by exploring the often overlooked gaps between mind, body, and spirit in our everyday lives, especially within the healthcare field where both hosts have significant experience. Kiera and Lauren discuss how living on autopilot left them feeling unfulfilled and disconnected, and they share the transformative power of tuning into one's "internal GPS" for guidance. The episode invites listeners to reflect on their own lives and encourages curiosity about the deeper aspects of existence beyond just external achievements and societal expectations. Key themes include the importance of mindfulness, the healing power of sound, and the role of personal stories in shaping our paths toward inner peace.
