What if the secret sauce to navigating the world isn’t hustling harder, fixing yourself, or achieving inner peace like it’s an item on your to-do list—but something way simpler and right under your nose?

This week on the Mind Bod Pod, we sit down with Oren Jay Sofer, a meditation teacher, communication wizard, and all-around wise human, to talk about his book, Your Heart Was Made for This.

We dig into the deep but wildly practical ways we can meet life’s chaos with more presence—and fewer panic spirals:

* Why patience and courage might actually be magic powers

* The giant, thorny question—should we even have kids?? (Yup, we go there)

* Why the “I don’t have time for practice” excuse is a lie (and what to do instead)

* How self-care, spirituality, and social action are actually the same weird beast

This episode isn’t about adding more stuff to do—it’s about seeing that your life, exactly as it is, is already the practice.

Oren has a way of making wisdom feel like a quiet ‘of course!” you forgot you knew—the kind that lands gently, like a deep breath or a long walk in the park.

Let us know in the comments what thoughts, feels & practice revelations wiggled loose for you during this episode!

The Afterparty

PS… Big Afterparty Upgrade Incoming! 🚀

The Pod is about to get way weirder… Instead of just lil Afterparty snippets tacked onto episodes, we’re turning these sessions into full bi-weekly episodes.

That means just the two of us, showing up candidly—diving into the questions, quandaries, and delightful existential messes arising in our own lives.

We’ll talk, unpack, guide short practices, sing, dance—who knows what else—all in the spirit of bringing you deeper into our weird worlds as practitioners, teachers, and friends. Coming very soon - Stay tuned! 🎉

K, That’s all for this week. Thanks for tuning in!

Love always,

🧘🏽‍♀️ Tasha & Jeff 🧘🏼‍♂️
