Ancient Wisdom, Modern Practice | Pema Sherpa (EP45)

Ancient Wisdom, Modern Practice | Pema Sherpa (EP45)

This episode is a part of the Clear Intentions series.

Diane sits down with Pema Sherpa, co-author of The Daily Buddhist, to explore how ancient Buddhist wisdom can bring more clarity, calm, and intention to daily life. Pema shares how she and her husband Brendan turned deep spiritual teachings into accessible, bite-sized reflections—while navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and personal transformation. From mindfulness and emotional regulation to spiritual overlap and practical micro-practices, this episode offers gentle, grounded insight for anyone seeking more peace and purpose in their everyday routine.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • The story behind The Daily Buddhist and how it came to life
  • The beauty of micro-practices and why small moments matter
  • Practical tools for managing emotions and staying present
  • Pema’s journey growing up in Nepal and studying at Harvard Divinity School
  • Writing a book during motherhood and finding mindfulness in difficult seasons
  • The universal wisdom in Buddhist teachings—accessible to everyone
