In this insightful episode of The Self Leadership LAB Podcast, host Laura Dewey explores the powerful concept of "beginner's mind" or Shoshin, drawn from Zen Buddhism. Inspired by a Zen parable, Laura shares the story of a wealthy man seeking enlightenment from a Zen master—a tale that beautifully captures the essence of adopting a beginner’s mind in everyday life.

Laura invites you to delve into the wisdom of Shoshin and discover how it can shift your perspective in profound ways. By embracing a beginner's mind, you can approach life's challenges, experiences, and learning opportunities with greater openness, curiosity, and humility.

To help you apply this concept in your own life, Laura ends the episode with a hands-on experiment designed to foster a sense of wonder and discovery in your journey. Tune in to unlock the transformative power of letting go of preconceptions and growing from a place of openness.
