51. My 40 Years of Zen: Interruption, Forgiveness, and Resilience

I have a major life update to share since I published my last episode: I am officially a grandma! Like most things in life, the timing of my grandson’s entrance into the world was unpredictable, but I’m grateful that I can stay calm under pressure and quickly adapt to challenging situations. Like I mentioned in the episode about safety, hyper-vigilance stunts resilience, and it’s times like these where you need to be able to pivot and go with the flow. 

Even though I had to leave the 40 Years of Zen program early to be by my daughter’s side, I still have quite a few takeaways from my time there. I share what I can see so far about my brain mapping results, an exercise that made a big impact, and my gentle approach to the healing journey. While I was there, I was able to tap into the root of my self-protective patterns and explore moments of soulful forgiveness. 

Listen in to hear more of my reflections on this next chapter of my life and my experience at the 40 Years of Zen program.
