This week on the Pod, we’re joined by the luminous Sherri Mitchell: Indigenous rights attorney, activist, ceremonial leader, and the author of “Sacred Instructions”.

We dive into the birth canal of this moment — a world in transition, contracting and expanding as it labors to bring something new into being. Sherri doesn’t shy away from the pain, confusion, or cultural clusterf*ck of our times and she also doesn’t wallow. Instead, she offers radical clarity, vision, and a deeply embodied path forward.

This conversation is a balm, a fire, and a wake-up call. If you’ve been overwhelmed, heartbroken, or teetering on the edge of despair, listen in. It’s about metabolizing this moment into wisdom, vision, and action.

This week on the pod, we’re joined by writer and teacher Sarah Selecky (Sarah Selecky Writing School) for a beautiful, funny, and surprisingly deep exploration of writing as a contemplative practice.

Sarah teaches writing as presence. As a way of being and noticing. She helps writers get out of their own way so that something real and alive can come through the page (or the google doc 😅).

She guides us through three simple exercises that can unlock creative flow. By the end, we were lol’ing, moved, and filled with the kind of wonder that has no agenda. Just a pen, a page, and the shimmer of real presence.

This is a great episode to write along with! Grab a notebook and come join us. Know someone who could use these exercises to shake some creative goodies loose? Pass it along!

This week on the pod, we’re joined by Chan teacher and sociologist Rebecca Li for a luminous practice session in Silent Illumination, a deceptively simple, deeply transformative form of open awareness meditation.

Rebecca guides us through a full-body relaxation and easefully invites us into the “method of no method,” offering a living glimpse into this subtle and powerful practice. As we settle into presence together, she shares insights from her lineage, her own experience, and her new book Illumination.

This one is full of practical wisdom, unexpected laughter, and real-life Dharma. Whether you’re new to open awareness or have been sitting for decades, Rebecca’s gentle clarity and precision will meet you right where you are. 🫠

We changed it up this week! Instead of a pod episode from Tasha’s couch, we joined Barb Schmidt & Michelle Maros on their podcast Life Happens.

Together, we have a soulful, down-to-earth conversation about what meditation really is. We cut through the myth and touch the living, breathing, messy practice of returning to the present.

Whether you’re brand new or returning to practice with fresh eyes, this one’s a gentle invitation to come home to your own presence.

This week, we’re in conversation with therapist and longtime Focusing teacher Serge Prengel about the transformative power of slowing down and listening from the body.

Serge is one of those rare people who seem to live from a deeper layer of presence. His work blends Focusing, Somatic Experiencing, Core Energetics, and Polyvagal Theory to support real, embodied change.

This one’s relational, tender, and surprisingly intimate. Drop in and tell us what moved in you: https://www.mindbodpod.com/p/focusing-a-practice-of-presence-and

This week on the Mind Bod Adventure Pod, we get our somatic groove on with tapping wizard and trauma therapist Mirjam Paninski. Miriam guides us into the world of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)—a deceptively simple practice where tapping acupressure points while speaking truth can open up big shifts in the body, mind, and heart.

It’s part therapy, part ritual, part emotional plumbing.

In this episode, we explore:

* Why EFT is becoming a popular trauma modality (and how it stacks up to EMDR)
* How tapping calms the nervous system and gives stored emotion somewhere to go
* Ancestral trauma (your body might be carrying Grandma’s fears!)
* What happens when you stop bracing and start releasing

Also: find out why EFT works so well with kids, how it can be used in war zones and post-shooting trauma support, and why tapping might be the pre-meditation dimmer switch you didn’t know you needed.

This one’s playful, poignant, and weirdly effective. Tap along with us and let us know how it lands in your nervous system!

We got a makeover (+ we want your input)

Well, it only took us three years… but we finally had a photoshoot! Say hello to the official new look of The Mind Bod Adventure Pod 😎

We’re also launching a brand new bi-weekly segment of the pod: just the two of us, diving into real-life stuff and guiding short, potent practices you can do along with us.

It’s our wonky BFF energy meets insight and practice. A little messy, a little magical, and fully in the flow of life.

And here’s where you come in…

💌 What do you want us to talk about?

* Got a question about meditation, relationships, creativity, or the general chaos of being alive right now?

* A topic you wish someone would explore with curiosity and compassion (not just clickbait hot takes)?

* Something that’s lighting you up (or dragging you down) that you’d love to hear us riff on and practice with?

Drop a comment! 👇

We’re so glad you’re here. This show is an adventure, and so is building it with you.

Love,
Tasha & Jeff

Huge thanks to Aous Poules who snapped our silly, giggly, playful antics like a boss.

This week on the Mind Bod Adventure Pod, we sit down with Dr. Joel Schwartz, a psychologist and one of the early architects of the Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy movement.

Joel is known for speaking truth to systems that pathologize difference — and for offering a way of working with our minds that’s healing, joyful, and radically humane.

Joel brings brilliance, humor, and zero tolerance for the rigid norms that ask neurodivergent folks to contort themselves into “acceptable” versions of humanity.
Along the way, Tasha reflects on late-diagnosed spectrum-y traits, Jeff gets real about rejection sensitivity, and we all momentarily dissolve into giggles about somatic intelligence and… mosh pits.

This episode is both a call to arms and a warm hug — a guide to seeing difference not as deficit, but as creative, embodied, meaningful expression.

This week, we sit down with relational facilitator James-Olivia Chu Hillman, whose teachings on radical responsibility, integrity, and unconditional positive regard are already shifting how Jeff shows up in relationship… and how Tasha tries not to ghost people who annoy her. 😅

Together, we explore:

✨The four core skills of relating well
✨ Why being “right” isn’t the same as being relational
✨Why saying “I agree” can be the most disorienting move in a conversation
✨What it really means to take responsibility—without shame, and without blame

Whether you’re conflict-avoidant, righteousness-prone, or deeply tired of your own relational f**kery—this episode offers a compassionate (and funny) mirror.

What if happiness wasn’t just a feeling but something you could train and reinforce?

This week on The Mind Bod Adventure Pod, we sit down with Dr. Axel Bouchon, a neuroscientist and biotech entrepreneur who spent 20 years searching for a cure for depression—only to realize he’d been asking the wrong question.

Instead of curing sadness, he discovered the source code for happiness—a set of six neurotransmitters that shape our emotional landscape.

This episode is part neuroscience, part meditation, and part mind-expanding happiness experiment—so get ready to light up your brain in real time!

In this episode we welcome Caverly Morgan former Zen monk and author of “The Heart of Who We Are”. Caverly is also the founder of Peace in Schools, a teen-centered mindfulness curriculum.

We jump right into it with a discussion of how teens very naturally want to challenge many of the culture’s bogus assumptions – in her words, teens “are on fire with wanting to dismantle what’s not real.”

Then we go to a beautiful breath practice that Caverly uses in high school classrooms. “Dental-mental floss”: back and forth through the center, expanding and grounding.

Well, this one is cool. It may change your meditation practice and – if you stay with the inquiry – your life. You’d hardly know how ambitious it is though, from our guest Kevin Schanilec’s humble, deadpan delivery.

Kevin is a long-time Buddhist practitioner from Seattle who has formalized a process for seeing through what Buddhists call “The Ten Fetters.” The fetters are fundamental (mis)beliefs we hold about how the self and world exist. Most of us don’t even realize they are beliefs – we are unconsciously inside them, which causes us to suffer in all the usual human ways.

What’s wild is that we don’t have to live according to these beliefs. With practice and commitment, we can learn to let go of each one and experience a corresponding drop in suffering and an increase in fulfillment. And Kevin shows us how…

Jeff says: “I now do this practice all the time – maybe more than any other Mind Bod Pod practice – and it works for me, every time. I have less reactivity in my life in general, and I consider this practice central to that.”
