Donnie and Danielle start today’s conversation highlighting ways they have been consciously applying their own learning from Marian after their first conversation with her last fall. Listen in to discover ways you can feel empowered to maximize the time you have and to bring more balance into your life.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Why Arizona Podcast! Your host, Ashley Law, is sitting down with one of her close friends Marian Mellen. Marian is a mindfulness and authenticity coach here in Arizona.

Thanks for joining us for the season finale of “3Ps in a Pod.” While we’re guessing you’re in need of rest and relaxation during winter break, we’re positive your heart, mind, and soul will feel refreshed after listening to today’s guest. Marian Mellen is a former teacher and founder of the Zen Bird, a company whose goal is to help individuals find deep connections through intentional practices. Today, Donnie and Danielle hear all about Mellen’s philosophy, which sounds wildly beneficial for teachers. Together, let’s pledge to break the mold of what we “should be.” Instead, let’s listen to our educator-turned-entrepreneur peer who encourages professionals to be their best, authentic selves, which will help us best serve the students in our classroom. Thanks for listening and learning with us this season. We look forward to introducing you to more exceptional and insightful guests in the new year. 

Thanks for joining us for the bonus episode of our first season. We’re thrilled to have Elma Dzanic in the “3Ps in a Pod” studio to discuss restorative justice practices in the Phoenix Union High School District. We first explored this subject during episode two with Dr. Dominique Smith. We were left more than intrigued and knew there was someone who could help us dive even deeper. As an alumna of her district, Dzanic brings a unique perspective — she came to the United States as a 12-year-old refugee from Bosnia during a time when the Phoenix community was “broken and fragmented.” She’s been a longtime champion of restorative justice, which she uses daily, as she coordinates student interventions and clinical services to support inclusive social, emotional, and behavioral health. A mantra for her work in supporting educators is, “You can’t restore unless you have something to restore back to.” Ultimately, she shares to effectively utilize restorative practices in schools, there must be a solid foundation of educator-student relationships. Tune in Thursday for the season one finale when we discuss educator self-care with Marian Mellen. 

This episode is like that deep soul filled conversation you have with a close friend, except Marian and I had never met. We dive right into so many amazing rich topics about personal growth and relationships. I will warn you there is some deep stuff in here. I really loved this episode because I actually only asked 2 of my prepared questions and the rest of the time we just riffed and dove deeper. I loved where this conversation went and for anyone who is passionate about showing up as the full version of themselves, I know you'll love it too! This is a good one to listen to after you've done some yoga or are on a long walk or chillin' sipping a glass of wine (or coffee, or kombucha or tea). In fact, after we got off of the call I thought to myself that Marian is like a warm herbal tea for your soul. I don't even really know what that means but it definitely felt real! On this Episode We Talk About: How Marian starts her morning What do you do when you're under a deadline but want to honor your body when it's stressed How Marian got started with meditation and how she reframed it to just “breathing” Being still and what meditation is and isn't What it means to surrender in this moment without the preference on the moment - allowing versus struggling Can I surrender to a moment without labeling the pain as something good or bad? How we can't really be happy until we embrace pain without judgment of it How our culture has put happiness on a pedestal (and it makes us miserable) Appreciating what each kind of emotion provides in our life Control - why it's an illusion How we can treat ourselves and others to the best of our ability, without overcompensating and trying to control an outcome Expectations - how they create a false reality in the future and block us from accepting and embracing what is Why sometimes self-love has to be tough love How relationships can be mirrors for our own “stuff” Ask “why am I trying to resist this?” Why self-love can be compassionate and disciplined at the same time Necessary discomfort and why it can be a good thing - there's magic on the other side of most discomfort Small talk versus deep talk - how to make small talk meaningful Navigating how to handle what other people think of you Sharing your story versus the stories you're a part of - how do we share our relationships online We discuss how we're working on people pleasing Connect with Marian On instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marian.mellen/ On her website: https://www.marian-mellen.com/ Resources: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck   For Full Show Notes Visit: http://init4thelongrun.com
