In this book, Pema Chödrön offers life-changing tools for transforming suffering and negative patterns into habitual ease and boundless joy. Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, she advises moving toward painful situations with friendliness and curiosity, rather than trying to escape them. The book emphasizes the importance of embracing uncertainty, impermanence, and groundlessness, and provides practical advice for dealing with difficult emotions like fear, anger, and sadness. Chödrön encourages readers to stay present with their feelings and to cultivate nonaggression and compassion, leading to deeper healing and understanding[1][3][5].
In this episode, Lindsey sits down with Michelle Miller, a service-driven storyteller and educator, a trauma-informed University Professor, an advocate for neurodiversity and autoimmune accommodations in education and entertainment, and a mentor who meets students and clients where they are. Tune in for a deeply nourishing conversation about self-acceptance, healing from trauma, neurodiversity and more!
Ahead, Michelle shares her journey through neurodiversity, getting diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos, and experiencing complex PTSD, describing how these experiences shaped her approach to life and teaching. Lindsey reflects on her own struggles with self-abandonment and neurodivergence.
