Description

what if everything you’ve been taught about mindfulness is wrong? in this eye-opening conversation, Harvard psychologist and best-selling author Dr Ellen Langer — known worldwide as The Mother of Mindfulness — joins the show to challenge the myths that keep us stuck on autopilot. Dr Ellen reveals how true mindfulness isn’t about meditation or emptying your mind — it’s about waking up to the present moment, noticing new things, and reclaiming your power to shape reality. from aging and stress to perfectionism and regret, we explore how awareness can literally change your body, your happiness, and your future. if you’ve ever wondered how to live more fully, this conversation will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about being “present.” listen on to make the world a better place.
