RECORDED TALKS



Podcast Tranquility du Jour #527: Life is Practice

This past May, I got “that call” - the call where I learned I had cancer. While listening to my doctor explain what I would need to do next, I was amazed to discover that I had the capacity to remember my practice and turn toward my breath instead of panicking or fearing the future.

You’ll also hear how I recently reset my health through diet and exercise that led to more energy, a 25-lb weight loss, and better overall health.

I share this hoping that you stay with and continue to build your practice so that when life throws you its version of "that call" you will be able to live through it with more ease.

I talk candidly about these experiences and other times I turned to mindfulness to deal with intensely difficult moments on the Tranquility du Jour podcast.
