The Fully Mindful with Melissa Chureau

Don't be alarmed. You may remember that Tangents & Sidebars is a random episode here on The Fully Mindful where my friend and fellow podcaster Debbie Harrell from The New World Normal get together LIVE for a truly random conversation. Well, not totally random. We do actually plan some areas of meaningful exploration. But, in true Debbie + Melissa fashion, we are also a bit ADD, so we wander a bit. And here's not different as we start off with a riveting conversation on....glasses and aging!
But we really do get to some meaningful stuff here: Gratitude and Authenticity.
As November rolls in, gratitude takes center stage, but is all thankfulness created equal? We explore the nuances between genuine gratitude and the performative gestures often seen on social media. Debbie and I reflect on the emotional complexity of gratitude coexisting with anxiety and challenge the notion of these emotions being mutually exclusive. Through heartfelt dialogue, we discuss the importance of authenticity and recognize privilege's role in personal growth. From navigating systemic biases to fostering true connections in the personal development space, this conversation promises insights and reflections that resonate well beyond any single season.
Make sure to check out Debbie's podcast, The New World Normal.
