Hey you! Yeah you! When was the last time you took a break for yourself? ⁠⁠NOW is the time! You deserve it and, let's be honest, you probably really NEED it. ⁠⁠I'm excited to remaster and reshare one of my favorite and most popular early meditations. In this 15 minute guided meditation practice, I invite you to take a well deserved break. ⁠⁠When I first released this in Dec 2020 the pandemic was raging around the world and we still knew relatively little about it. Now we're almost another year into this pandemic and it hasn't gone away but some how our lives feel really full again. So take this invitation and and take a much needed break for yourself, whether with this mediation or your self care practice of choice. ⁠⁠Full Show Notes | https://bit.ly/3vqHw07More Inspiring Interviews | https://bit.ly/3zLoBhLMore Guided Meditations | https://bit.ly/38OHd4FPS: Introducing the… 🔥 FIRE Starter Group Coaching Program Connect with your big vision for the next chapter of your life and start living it in 10 weeks or less using envisioning and the power of your mind.

Welcome to The Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host, Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here. On today's episode. I'm joined by my friend Mounira Latrache. Mounira is the founder of Connected Business, which helps companies and individuals develop self-leadership and co-leadership, which empowers them to live more meaningful, connected, and compassionate lives. Mounira brings 15 plus years of leadership experience at international brands like Google, Red Bull and BMW. Mounira was a pioneer of Google's mindfulness community and it’s success led her to teach mindfulness and train teams at other companies around the world. Mounira is a member of The Mindful Leadership Institute and internationally certified Search Inside Yourself facilitator, and she gives mindfulness and compassion, keynotes and training all over the world.Mounira's own mindfulness practice gave her the tools to become a more effective leader and she is passionate about empowering others to lead more meaningful, connected, and compassionate lives.In this conversation Mounira shares her journey through life and  how an insight that came out of suffering of not fitting in as a young person, helped her to realize that she could craft and create her own life and way of showing up in the world.And that has guided her to really design her life in a way that is meaningful and purposeful for her. And she's brought this to bear both in the corporate world and now as an entrepreneur, leading trainings and working with companies to help them develop more self-leadership and co-leadership within their teams.And we really dive deep into these ideas of self-leadership and co-leadership as well. I really enjoyed this conversation with my friend Mounira and I hope that you enjoy it as well.

Are you listening to what you body is telling you? In this guided meditation we practice bringing a kind curious, loving awareness to our body. We begin by checking in with ourselves to see how we are arriving. Then we practice a guided body scan, bringing loving awareness to feeling each part of the body. Finally we finish by bringing loving kindness (compassion) to our body, which makes our entire existence possible.

One of the most important parts of living a fulfilled and happy life is answering the question "What is enough?".  It seems simple but in our culture of "more, more, more" this question looms large for all of us; not just with our money but with our time, energy, effort, and so much more. We may feel like we don't have enough, that we're not doing enough or even that we, ourselves, are not enough. I know I've felt all of these and am still reflecting to learn more on how these beliefs show up in my life. This practice invites you to practice having enough, feeling enough and being enough right here in this moment. For just a moment, can we let go of everything we hope to achieve and attain and just let being here, alive in this moment be enough. I hope you enjoy this practice.

Impermanence - the fact of life that everything is constantly changing and nothing stays the same for long - can be best observed and experienced within our own body. I took this picture in November 2017 on the last day of my 10 day silent Vipassana meditation retreat in Northern California. It was at this retreat that I truly observed the impermanence of life, not on an intellectual level but on an experiential level. At this retreat we practiced body scan meditation, being aware of each part of the body from head to toe, for 10 hours per day starting at 4:30 am. Paying close attention to the body it becomes clear that even something that seems fixed, say a pain in my shoulder, is actually changing and moving continuously. Nothing is staying the same. If you've ever scratched an itch to find that you suddenly have another new itchy area in another part of your body, you've experienced this. Impermanence is all around us. At the 10 day retreat each day I walked past this mountain scene many times and each time it was different. Some mornings it was covered in frost, others fog and others bathed in sun. It was an outward lesson on impermanence mirroring what I was learning inwardly through body scan meditation. I invite you to have a small taste of the ever changing nature of our bodies and of our lives, with this guided body scan meditation. I hope you enjoy and would love to hear about your experience in the comments below.

"Imagine that your body and even your mind  are rooted, grounded, planted here in this spot while the crazy world just keeps on spinning." - Adam CoelhoThis quote captures what this grounding meditation practice is all about. A lot of the time, especially theses days, it feels like we're caught in a strong storm. It feels like we're being blown in many different directions and it's hard to maintain our balance and stability. Mindfulness helps us to regain our stability by grounding in the timeless moment of now. This practice invites you to let go of everything happening outside, in the world, in the past, in the future and to just ground in this moment, right now. To imagine that you're like a tree with deep roots, grounded in this moment, no matter which way the winds of the storm blow.I hope you enjoy it and I welcome your comments.

Welcome to The Mindful Fire Podcast where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host, Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here. On today's episode of the podcast. I'm joined by my new friend, Jessi Shuraleff.Jessi spent 13 and a half years at Google leading and coaching sales teams using authenticity value-based selling and storytelling to drive impact in revenue for her customers.She's worked with brands both big and small across numerous industries, including retail technology, real estate and B2B.She recently left the corporate world and has taken the leap into solopreneurship as the founder of the podcast and community, This Is My Truth.Creating building and maintaining relationships is at the core of who she is and authenticity, vulnerability and storytelling have been the cornerstone of her skill set to get where she is today as a leader, podcaster and mom.  Her personal mission is to create community and connection through the sharing of personal stories, to empower individuals and brands, to step into their own light, reclaim their voice and drive greater impact. In this conversation, Jessie and I explore her journey over the last 13 and a half years at Google, where she had a ton of success, but ultimately found herself at 6:03 in the morning, brushing her teeth a few years ago and having her husband asked her a question he's asked many times, " Are you happy?". And she had to answer "no". She realized that she needed to make some changes in her life to reclaim her voice, find her own way, rediscovering herself and what's truly important to her in the process. This moment, what she calls her 6:03 moment, really catalyzed a ton of change for her in her life. And while she didn't leave Google overnight, it began a process of self discovery that included therapy, coaching, self exploration, and just really untangling a lot of the go go, go culture that she had internalized growing up in this society and building a career within Google, which I can tell you is quite the go go, go type of place. We explore a lot around this idea of the go go, go culture, where we all are taking on so much. So many projects, parenting, working, taking care of our houses, taking care of our family members, trying to fit all these things into our life and all the while forgetting to take care of ourselves and forgetting to listen to ourselves and asking the questionPS: Introducing the… 🔥 FIRE Starter Group Coaching Program Connect with your big vision for the next chapter of your life and start living it in 10 weeks or less using envisioning and the power of your mind.
