This is a podcast for anyone who wants to renew their mindset. It’s for those who want to step out of their comfort zone to learn, grow, and expand their knowledge. It’s for those who want to embrace change, vulnerability, and the messiness of life. And it’s for those who don’t mind listening to raw, honest stories. (Although my podcast is under the self-improvement category, I cannot guarantee that I will not be talking about my love of comedy, space, and vegan baking on the show.) Have questions for Vanessa?

The last few weeks have been challenging for me as I notice my inner bully/voice/critic has been relentless and very loud. I've learned so many ways to manage that bully/voice/critic, and self-compassion is a huge part of that process. And I've learned that thoughts are just thoughts and they aren't always true.

The practice of letting go can be so challenging, especially when circumstances didn't go the way you thought they would. This is the fourth episode in my series about grief, inspired by the book "You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment" by Thich Nhat Hanh.

I'm learning and accepting that life is all about beginnings and endings. I'm also learning to reframe what endings mean to me. In this episode, I share more insights from the book "You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment" by Thich Nhat Hanh, and also from a daily mindfulness challenge I did earlier this year from Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.

It can be hard to acknowledge emotional pain and sometimes, we have the tendency to ignore and avoid what's uncomfortable. But I'm learning that facing our pain is necessary in the healing process.

I'm so excited to be back with new episodes! In my last episode, I shared that I was taking a break from my podcast because I was grieving, and I wanted to focus on self-care and healing. This episode is the first in my series about grief, as I go deeper into my journey and share what I've learned and am still learning from this grieving process. The book that inspired these episodes is called "You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment" by Thich Nhat Hanh.
