Welcome to a very special episode of the Four Times Mindfulness podcast series. In this episode, you’ll hear the kind of honest, heartfelt conversations that inspired us to bring our 4 X Mindfulness podcast back—conversations rooted in our personal journeys and our shared passion for mindfulness, growth, and authentic connection.

We begin by opening up about recent experiences of grief and loss, exploring how these profound moments have shaped our perspectives on love, healing, and the human experience. Neila shares her personal journey through grief and the wisdom she’s gathered from books and community, inviting listeners to reflect on their own relationship with loss and the power of leaning on others.

From there, we delve into the importance of reaching out—making space for vulnerability, supporting one another, and building connections, even across distances. We discuss the challenge and value of keeping relationships strong, offering practical suggestions for how you can reach out and practice authentic listening in your own life.

This episode also explores concepts from my recent work in coaching, especially identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs. We talk about visualization and mindfulness exercises that can help you build new, empowering habits, find your voice, and bring your best self to every situation.

You’ll learn about simple but impactful mindfulness practices—like the “Presence Process” breathing technique and ways to stay grounded in the present moment, no matter how hectic life may get. We also share powerful stories that remind us of the strength we each have to be vulnerable, the importance of sharing our unique journeys, and the life-changing potential of compassion and community.

Whether you’re new to mindfulness or a longtime practitioner, this episode is about more than just theory—it’s about real-life struggles, deeply felt moments, and practical wisdom you can carry into daily living. We hope you’ll find comfort, inspiration, and a renewed sense of connection as you listen. Thank you for being here with us, and we hope you enjoy this heartfelt conversation.
