One late night. A hospital corridor. A single map that read, “You are here.”
Everything in me wanted to run ahead- to outcomes, to answers, to safety. But this episode is about what happens when we stay.
In this deeply personal reflection, I share the night my husband had a heart attack - not to tell a story of crisis, but to explore how presence holds us when life tilts sideways. It’s an invitation into the real practice of mindfulness: not the perfect calm of a meditation cushion, but the quiet courage to meet uncertainty one breath at a time.
We’ll talk about how fear writes its own stories, how the body signals what the mind avoids, and how choosing awareness over anxiety changes everything -from hospital rooms to everyday moments of overwhelm.
If you’ve ever faced the unknown and longed for steadiness, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn what it means to stay here now, even when every part of you wants to run ahead.
✨ Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you tune in - or Watch on YouTube and if the message resonates, share it with someone who could use a reminder that presence is its own form of grace.
