Podcasts about mindful moment

In a world where many professionals spend their days behind screens, thinking, analyzing, and producing ideas, it's easy to become disconnected from the body. Over time, this disconnection often shows up as fatigue, chronic tension, poor posture, or persistent physical pain. Not to mention, the way we interact with technology is literally changing the shapes of out bodies.  In this episode, I talk with with Dr. Kyrs Hines, orthopedic physical therapist to explore how knowledge workers can stay grounded, regulated, and physically supported while navigating cognitively demanding work. Dr Kyrs shares practical ways to integrate movement into daily routines, create ergonomic environments that support physical alignment and shift our relationship with physical pain from avoidance to awareness. This conversation bridges science, embodiment, and real-life application — helping you work smarter while caring for your physical well-being. If you spend most of your day sitting, feel tension building during work hours, or want sustainable strategies to prevent burnout and body pain, this episode offers actionable tools you can begin using immediately. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why knowledge workers often become disconnected from their bodies How sedentary work impacts posture, energy, and nervous system Simple ways to habit stack and add movement into your daily life without needing long workouts Ergonomic principles that support spinal alignment and reduce strain How to set up your workspace to support long-term physical health A mindful approach to understanding and working with physical pain   _____________ Resources: Take a mindful moment in your day while moving!

This week's mindful moment is a simple invitation to shift your perspective—literally: sit in a different chair. Choose a seat you wouldn't normally use—the other end of the couch, a chair in another room, or even the floor—and settle in. As you sit, notice how your posture changes, how your breath feels, and what sounds or sensations stand out from this new vantage point. It's amazing how a small physical shift can gently nudge your mental state as well. This practice is mindfulness through subtle disruption—a reminder that even tiny changes can refresh your awareness and help you reset.

This week's mindful moment offers a gentle way to weave awareness into your daily routine: set a mindful marker for your day. Choose one regular activity—like brushing your teeth, making a cup of tea, or starting your car—and let it become a cue to pause. Each time that moment arrives, take a deep breath, check in with your body, and ask yourself: What do I need right now? This simple habit acts as an anchor—a grounding point in your day that brings you back to presence without needing to stop everything. Small, consistent mindfulness adds up—and this is a beautiful place to begin.

High-performance building is not just about premium products. It is about the system. In this episode, we sit down with Sven Maxa from Maxa Design to unpack what Passive House building really looks like behind the scenes, from airtightness targets to the practical realities of delivering high-performance homes on site.This conversation flips the usual format, with Sven taking the lead and putting us (Hamish and Matt) in the hot seat. We get into the details that actually make or break a Passive House project, including airtightness testing, verification, contract clarity, and what happens when documentation looks great in renders but does not hold up on a building site.A major theme is collaboration between the architect, designer, builder, and trades. Passive House and building science only works when the whole team is aligned early, with transparent cost planning, clear communication, and strong documentation to avoid rework, delays, and budget blowouts.We wrap by looking at what needs to change in the Australian construction industry to lift standards at scale. Better legislation, better education, and a stronger baseline for residential construction.

This week's mindful moment focuses on the everyday actions we usually rush through: open or close something with full awareness. Whether it's a door, a drawer, your laptop, or a cupboard—pause and bring your full attention to the motion. Notice how your hand moves, the sound it makes, the effort your body uses, and the breath that moves with it.   Let this tiny moment become a check-in, a grounding cue that reminds you: you're present, you're alive, you're here. Even the smallest movement can become a doorway to mindfulness.

This week's mindful moment invites you to connect with the world around you in a grounded, tangible way: place your hand on a tree, fence, or wall. Wherever you are—at home, outdoors, or even in a public space—pause and rest your hand gently on a surface nearby. Feel its texture, notice its temperature, and let your breath slow as you stay in contact for a few deep inhales and exhales. This simple act brings you out of your head and into your body. It reminds you that you're supported, you're grounded, and you're here—held by the moment and the world around you.

It's the perfect practice for shifting stuck energy, settling your nervous system, and coming back to yourself—one gentle movement at a time.

In this episode, we dive into how mindfulness can transform sex, intimacy and connection. As modern humans, we live a lot of life on autopilot, stressed and hustling. We crave more presence, self-care, intimacy and authenticity. Drawing on the research of psychologist & sex-researcher Dr. Lori Brotto, author of Better Sex Through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire, we explore what's really going on when stressed, multitasking and distraction undermine our intimacy. I share with you many concrete mindfulness practices you can bring into your body, your relationship, your everyday life.

A mindful, honest, and hopeful exploration of victimhood in medicine—what it is, how it shows up, and why so many of us feel trapped, powerless, and unseen within a deeply flawed system. We invite you to listen with curiosity and self-compassion, knowing that if you've found yourself here—tired, discouraged, or resigned—you are not alone, and nothing is wrong with you. Rather than shaming or simplifying, we offer this conversation as a compassionate mirror and a naming of what's real with clarity, awareness, and care.  We unpack moral injury, systemic betrayal, learned helplessness, and the quiet culture of resignation that seeps into even the most well-intentioned among us. Naming where we are is the essential first step to healing. This is part one of a two-part series. In this episode, we shine a mindful light on the roots of victimhood. In part two, we will offer mindful paths forward from powerlessness to purpose.   Pearls of Wisdom: Victimhood is not weakness, it's a human, protective response to chronic dysfunction. And it's not where you want to live. Naming victimhood with empathy, not judgment, allows us to reclaim agency, even within a broken system. Noticing where we give away our power is the first mindful step toward healing and change. Systemic “solutions” like suggestion boxes may unintentionally reinforce helplessness unless paired with authentic engagement and choice.   Reflection Questions: When have you felt the most powerless in medicine? What helps you feel safe and what erodes that sense of safety? What would it mean to believe that you still have influence, even in a broken system?     Don't miss the Mindful Moment at the end of this episode. It's an opportunity to ground, reflect, and reconnect to your inner wisdom with clarity and compassion. If this conversation resonates, I invite you to explore coaching with me to help you name and shift patterns of disempowerment in your life and career: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching You can also join me at a Pause & Presence Retreat—a nurturing, transformational space to reconnect to what matters most: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats If you would like to bring a more mindful, compassionate approach to your institution, team, or training program, I'd be honored to speak or lead a workshop: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking You can also invite Dr. Liang to speak or lead a breathwork workshop for your group: www.awakenbreath.org Together, one mindful conversation at a time, we can shift the culture of medicine. Nothing shared in the Healing Medicine Podcast is medical advice.

Coach Delicia breaks down the real science behind why your brain panics when you mess up (hello, cortisol!) and shares the practical tools you need to stop the shame cycle instantly.
