  • Passenger the bus metaphor- incredible helpful!

    Emma! Thank you for your work. I have been looking for this for years. Now I have actions to take when the ANTs are trying to drive the bus. This episode was immensely helpful and I’m excited to listen to more. Your friendly tone and simple examples are just what I needed today.

There should be so very few cases when going “no conta... more

How to "Lean In" to Feelings - Anxiety Meditation w/ Thomas McConkie
Q: What would you say to someone who would say, like, perhaps they're experiencing some anxiety, and you're inviting them to do this experience where they observe it and sit with it.
It's normal to want to make anxiety go away, but if we open up to the experience, we can realize that it's just a part of being alive and doesn't signal a real problem.
