Julie Lythcott-Haims on the Power of Telling Your Truth

In this powerful conversation from the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, Sean Fargo speaks with Julie Lythcott-Haims — New York Times bestselling author, activist, politician, and former Stanford dean — about how mindfulness can help us face shame, rewrite old stories, and create space for authentic belonging. Julie shares how she first discovered mindfulness in her 30s, how body awareness helped her get out of her own way, and how storytelling became a tool for healing unprocessed pain. She reflects on writing Real American, her memoir on race and belonging, and the liberation that came from releasing stories she had carried for decades. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Intro 04:11 – mindfulness as a path to self-awareness 06:40 – Writing as emotional release 10:35 – Holding space with compassion 14:41 – The courage of vulnerability 21:16 – Helicopter Parenting: lesson in parenting and self-growth 30:25 – Post-It notes of connection 33:00 – Freeing others through your story 36:57 – Releasing fear and finding courage to be seen 38:25 – A moment of belonging with a taxi driver 41:03 – Building bridges across difference 46:25 – Living authentically with compassion 🔗Know more about Julie Julie Lythcott-Haims: julielythcotthaims.com Substack: julielythcotthaims.substack.com TED Talk: How to Raise an Adult Books: How to Raise an Adult, Real American, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult 🧘 Want to teach mindfulness with skill, depth, and compassion?

Softening and Opening, a Meditation with Sean Fargo

Softening and Opening, a Meditation with Sean Fargo

This episode is sponsored by our Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification. Register today for 80% off at ⁠⁠https://mindfulnessexercises.com/certify⁠ What happens when someone tells you to relax? Often, the directive to relax or let go results in further tightening. When we attempt to relax on demand, we just can’t make it happen. Stress can then increase as we wrestle with what we may perceive as failure. Things change when we view letting go as a process versus a goal. In this mindfulness meditation, guided by Sean Fargo, we’re invited to soften our attachment to doing, to soften our need for control. In the process, we experience degrees of opening into the spaciousness of our experience. No longer wrestling with right or wrong, relaxed or not, we get closer to the calm we long for. Listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction. Practice with eyes opened or closed, in a posture that balances comfort with alertness. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey. Sean Fargo is a former Buddhist monk and founder of the online resource, Mindfulness Exercises. Mindfulness Exercises has shared mindfulness with over 6 million people via free and premium services including downloadable meditations, meditation scripts, mindfulness worksheets, courses, content and live online retreats.

This episode is sponsored by our Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification. Register today for 80% off at ⁠⁠https://mindfulnessexercises.com/certify⁠ You may have been told that trauma lives in the body until we’re willing to feel it. Research shows, however, that it is counter-productive to turn toward this pain before we feel resourced, safe and supported. So, how are we to know when to apply the gas in our practice, versus when to hit the brakes?   In this episode, we hear from mindfulness and meditation researcher, Dr. Willoughby Britton. She shares helpful advice you can apply today to bring more trauma sensitivity to your practice and teaching. Her research into the adverse effects of meditation (Episode #047) has helped her understand how meditation guides can help people feel more empowered in their practice.  This talk is a brief excerpt from Dr. Willoughby Britton’s guest teacher presentation to those enrolled in the Mindfulness Exercises Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program.

Sensing Beyond The Body, a Meditation with Sean Fargo

Sensing Beyond The Body, a Meditation with Sean Fargo

This episode is sponsored by our Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification. Register today for 80% off at ⁠⁠https://mindfulnessexercises.com/certify⁠ Ancient wisdom traditions recognize the mind not as something limited to the brain, but as an expansive, heart-based awareness that extends throughout the body and beyond. One benefit of mindfulness meditation is that it can help us learn to connect to such awareness, for a profound experience of presence. In this guided meditation, led by Sean Fargo, we are invited to bring an awake and alert energy to the body as a whole. Using this embodied energy, we then sense into the space beyond for a more expansive experience of the mind.  Listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction. Practice with eyes opened or closed, in a posture that balances comfort with alertness. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey.

Cultivating Courage, A Meditation with Sean Fargo

This episode is sponsored by our Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification. Register today for 80% off at ⁠⁠https://mindfulnessexercises.com/certify⁠ When we think of courage we often imagine a fierce energy. One that pushes obstacles aside, cuts through barriers and fights battles. But courage can have a gentle energy, too. Sometimes, courage can look and feel like steady, caring presence - especially during mindfulness meditation and the practice of feeling what we feel. In this guided meditation, led by Sean Fargo, we are invited to sense into this moment, just as it is. With courage, we practice staying with our experience, allowing it to change and unfold as it is naturally inclined to do.  Listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction. Practice with eyes opened or closed, in a posture that balances comfort with alertness. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey.

This episode is sponsored by our Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification. Register today for 80% off at ⁠⁠https://mindfulnessexercises.com/certify⁠ Mindfulness retreats are a valuable opportunity to step away from routine and apply ourselves to deepening our mindfulness. We may devote a single day or multiple days to retreat, either at home or at a retreat center.  Meditation teachers who have completed retreats of their own know full well the benefits of such focused attention on their practice. However, the thought of guiding others through this intimate, intense experience can be intimidating.  In this episode, we hear from meditation teacher and retreat leader Cory Muscara. Cory offers practical advice on leading meditation retreats and explains why it’s far more accessible than some mindfulness teachers may think.  This talk is a brief excerpt from Cory Muscara’s guest teacher presentation to those enrolled in the Mindfulness Exercises Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program.
