Send us a textA seven-second “mom fail” video, 22 million views, and a brand-new path. Our conversation with Melissa Hughes, founder of Rise Social Media Agency, is a candid look at how authentic storytelling can turn a personal turning point into a clear, magnetic brand. Melissa opens up about a valley season that tested her identity, the unexpected viral clip that launched her into entrepreneurship, and the mindset shifts that helped her lead with purpose while raising confident kids.We dig into why story beats slogans every time. Melissa breaks down psychographics—the beliefs, emotions, and inner shifts behind your milestones—and shows how they create resonance your audience can feel. You'll hear a powerful case study of a client who moved beyond a generic “unstoppable” message by sharing a pivotal mental health battle, unlocking relevance, booking stages, and a mission that finally made sense. If you've ever wondered how to clarify your message, this is the blueprint: define the belief you held, the moment that changed it, and the mission that followed.We also get tactical. Melissa shares her content cadence, how to capture working processes with simple screen recordings, and why hiring for complementary strengths transforms your capacity. At home, she uses clear systems—the “five B's” routine—to build independence and peace, proving that delegation isn't lazy parenting; it's leadership. And we reframe imposter syndrome as a signal you're expanding into work that fits who you really are when it's rooted in authenticity.If you're a mom, creator, or founder ready to evolve without burning out, you'll walk away with practical steps to focus your offer, say no with confidence, and build a brand that grows because it's true. Listen, share with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a quick review to tell us the defining moment shaping your message today.Resources:Melissa's website: https://melissaleahughes.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/melissaleahughes/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-hughes-39b43580/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melissaleahughes The Ultimate Time Audit & Productivity System (Freebie)Grab it here: TIME AUDIT WORKBOOKHow to Hire Your First VA for $27Get it now: GROWTH CHEATSHEETDiscover Your WHY – Free 5-Day WorkshopSign up for free here: DISCOVER YOUR WHYThe Mom Balance Playbook (Freebie for Managing the Mayhem)Download here: MOM BALANCE PLAYBOOKHire a VA or start your VA business here: https://camillewalker.co/5-Minute Meditations for Kids PodcastListen & subscribe here: APPLE SPOTIFYTop 100 Mompreneur Podcasts: https://podcast.feedspot.com/mompreneur_podca

Forgiveness is almost never a one-and-done action. Whether what we're forgiving is big or small, our own error or someone else's—most often, there are residual feelings of anger, hurt, or resentment to contend with.  In this guided practice, Mark Bertin addresses this tendency to compound our suffering when we hang onto these difficult emotions. He offers a way to gently surrender this extra emotional baggage so that we can fully experience the healing that forgiveness offers. Mark Bertin, MD, is a pediatrician, author, professor, and mindfulness teacher specializing in neurodevelopmental behavioral pediatrics. He's a regular contributor to Mindful.org and Psychology Today. He is the author of How Children Thrive: The Practical Science of Raising Independent, Resilient, and Happy Kids (Sounds True, 2018). Dr. Bertin resides in Pleasantville, New York. For more, visit developmentaldoctor.com.

Go Deeper Forgiveness is one of the most challenging mindful qualities to develop. Understandably, we want to feel seen and heard in our pain, and we don't want to feel like we're being walked over or making excuses for harmful behavior. From a mindfulness perspective, forgiveness holds all of these experiences in a kind of loving tension, allowing the complexities to surface. To learn more about what forgiveness is (and isn't) and how to nurture it in your daily life, check out these resources from the website: New Research on Mindfulness and Forgiveness  The Work It Takes to Forgive  How to Let Go of an Old Regret  Let It Go: How to Practice Forgiveness  If you're at the very beginning of the process and want help getting started on your forgiveness journey, try this practice: A Guided Meditation to Welcome Forgiveness.  And more from Mindful here: More episodes of 12 Minute MeditationLet us know what you thought of this episode of 12 Minute Meditation by leaving a review or by emailing yourwords@mindful.org.

We often imagine that our actions are the result of choice and awareness, which means that we can be extra critical of ourselves when we're struggling with habits that aren't serving us. But researchers in the science of habit and craving have found that much of our decision-making process is the result of unconscious neuro-chemical loops that reinforce themselves over time.  In this meditation, author and researcher Judson Brewer introduces a thoughtful way to bring genuine awareness and choice back into the equation when cravings arise.  Judson Brewer, MD, Ph.D. ("Dr. Jud") is a New York Times best-selling author and thought leader in the field of habit change and the "science of self-mastery," who blends over 20 years of experience with mindfulness training and a career in scientific research. He is passionate about understanding how our brains work, and how to use that knowledge to help people make deep, permanent change in their lives — with the goal of reducing suffering in the world at large. Dr. Jud is the director of research and innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center, where he also serves as a professor in Behavioral and Social Sciences at the School of Public Health and Psychiatry at the School of Medicine at Brown University.  The transcription of this guided meditation will be online at Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

The nature of the mind is to make thoughts. All day long, mostly without our even noticing, the mind is generating thousands of thoughts. People often misunderstand mindfulness and meditation as ways to control or even stop our mind's churning—but that isn't even really possible.  With mindful attention, we can learn to notice and be aware of what our minds are up to, and that awareness is what gives us agency and opens new doorways to interior peace. In this meditation, teacher Vinny Ferraro guides us through a practice to see thoughts clearly as they arise, gently note them, and then return to the breath and body. Vinny Ferraro has been a practitioner of insight meditation (vipassanā) since the early 1990s. He is a co-Founder of the Dharma Punx and co-Guiding Teacher of Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society. He is also a nationally recognized leader in designing and implementing interventions for at-risk adolescents and is currently Senior Trainer for Mindful Schools. In 1987, he began leading groups in drug rehabilitation centers, juvenile halls, and halfway houses. In 2001, he began teaching for Challenge Day, a nationally recognized, social & emotional learning program, eventually becoming their Director of Training and leading workshops for over 110,000 youth on four continents.

Also trained in sociology and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), she is a highly practiced facilitator of trauma-sensitive, restorative MBSR interventions for lawyers and law students, and for minimizing the effects of social-identity-based bias.

If you've ever tried to push away anxiety or depression when they show up, you probably already know: Fighting these complex, difficult emotions usually doesn't work. In fact, our resistance often makes the experience even more challenging.  In today's practice, Ed Halliwell offers a guided visualization based on a foundational mindful question: What if you don't try to push this experience away, but instead watch it as it plays out?  Ed Halliwell is a mindfulness teacher and writer, based in Sussex and London, UK. He is author of three books: Into The Heart of Mindfulness, How To Live Well By Paying Attention and (as co-author) The Mindful Manifesto and teaches courses and retreats to public groups, in organizations and to individuals, face-to-face and online via Skype. He is also an advisor to The Mindfulness Initiative, which is supporting the Mindfulness All-Party Parliamentary Group to develop mindfulness-based policies for the UK.

Go Deeper Anxiety, panic, and depression can sometimes feel like a vortex we're sucked into that's impossible to get out of. It's important to understand that mindfulness and meditation aren't cure-alls or instant fixes, and that they're most effective when used in concert with other healing modalities. There are practices that can help us be with thoughts and feelings in a compassionate, non-judgmental way—and this open-hearted approach can often loosen the grip of difficult moments.

Our brains are hardwired to notice the negative. It's part of how our ancient ancestors were able to survive in constantly threatening environments.   But this negativity bias can also make it difficult for us and our kids—even in our comparatively less threatening environments—to navigate daily stressors, like big tests, arguments, or disappointments.  In this shorter practice specifically designed for younger meditators, Dr. Mark Bertin shows kids how to gently guide their attention back to the positive things they might have missed, in order to help soothe the nervous system and bring calm.  Mark Bertin, MD., is a pediatrician, author, professor, and mindfulness teacher specializing in neurodevelopmental behavioral pediatrics. He's a regular contributor to Mindful.org and Psychology Today. He is the author of How Children Thrive: The Practical Science of Raising Independent, Resilient, and Happy Kids (Sounds True, 2018).

We often think about gratitude as happening in response to “good” things—but what about moments that aren't grand or overtly happy, but are small and emotionally neutral?

Kimberly Armstrong is a cofounder and facilitator at Space Between. She practices mindfulness in order to know, see, and feel what is really important in life. Kim has a masters in Child and Adolescent Psychology from the University of Washington and is a certified meditation teacher and 500 hour yoga teacher.

When we are experiencing a lot of stress or recovering from trauma or addiction, we can find ourselves living in a fight-flight-freeze state, where we feel either disconnected from or unsafe in our bodies. This practice is designed to gently cultivate a sense of safety and then create a kinesthetic anchor (rooted in awareness of how our body is moving) to start building a felt sense of security that your body can remember. Emily Jane is a mindfulness teacher, certified Embodied Processing (EP) practitioner, and recovery coach with a background in social work. She's been in recovery for over eight years, following two decades of active addiction, and her lived experience now fuels her passion for helping others heal. Emily is also the author of Beyond Addiction: A Mindful Guide to Recovery, where she shares her trauma-informed, compassionate approach to healing. Her work integrates mindfulness, coaching, trauma therapy, and somatic tools to help people reconnect with their bodies and find safety, peace, and empowerment on their recovery journey.

Toby has been teaching meditation for two decades and has refined his craft through years of monastic training and close collaboration with the world-renowned teacher Shinzen Young.

Loving-kindness meditation, also called metta,  springs from a basic understanding of human nature: On one hand, we might truly believe that  compassion makes the world better—and on the other, we might struggle to offer it to ourselves and to others for various reasons.  Metta practices, like the one Dr. Emma Seppälä leads this week, offer a simple, structured way to help us  gently expand our capacity to both give and receive love.  As a bestselling author, Yale lecturer, and international keynote speaker, Emma Seppälä teaches executives at the Yale School of Management and is faculty director of the Yale School of Management's Women's Leadership Program. A psychologist and research scientist by training, her expertise is the science of happiness, emotional intelligence, and social connection. Her bestselling book The Happiness Track (HarperOne, 2016) has been translated into dozens of languages. Her new book is Sovereign (Hay House, 2024). Seppälä is also the Science Director of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.

Send us a textWhat if marketing your business felt natural, authentic, and—dare we say—enjoyable? Mills Gray is on a mission to help service providers ditch the aggressive "bro marketing" tactics and build client journeys that feel good for everyone involved.Drawing from 17 years of business ownership and her fascinating background as a scuba instructor, Mills brings a fresh perspective to marketing high-ticket services. Her approach is refreshingly simple: find marketing strategies you actually enjoy and focus there, rather than spreading yourself thin across every platform and tactic."The key to all of it is finding the thing that you really enjoy doing and also getting your marketing message right," Mills explains. Too often, we market from our expert perspective, five steps ahead of where our clients actually are. The result? Our messaging falls flat because we're not addressing the problems our clients recognize they have.Mills walks us through creating a natural client journey that respects the relationship-building process. Comparing it to dating, she reminds us that rushing to sell is like proposing on the first date—it simply doesn't work. Instead, she recommends nurturing leads through value-driven content that helps potential clients get to know you before making a purchasing decision.When it comes to lead magnets, Mills advocates for simplicity: "Don't get too bogged down. Do two hours max on your lead magnet and then just send the damn thing." She explains that cold audiences will give you seven minutes of their attention at most, so focus on quick wins rather than elaborate challenges.For service providers struggling with pricing, Mills offers a refreshing perspective on valuing your time and expertise appropriately. She challenges the notion that lower prices lead to more sales, explaining that perception of value plays a crucial role in client decisions.Whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your existing business, this conversation will help you create marketing that aligns with who you are while effectively connecting with the clients you're meant to serve.Resources:Mills' website: https://www.millsgray.com/  The Ultimate Time Audit & Productivity System (Freebie)Grab it here: TIME AUDIT WORKBOOKHow to Hire Your First VA for $27Get it now: GROWTH CHEATSHEETDiscover Your WHY – Free 5-Day WorkshopSign up for free here: DISCOVER YOUR WHYThe Mom Balance Playbook (Freebie for Managing the Mayhem)Download here: MOM BALANCE PLAYBOOKHire a VA or start your VA business here: https://camillewalker.co/5-Minute Meditations for Kids PodcastListen & subscribe here: APPLE SPOTIFYTop 100 Mompreneur Podcasts: https://podcast.feedspot.com/mompreneur_podcasts/ Connect with Mills:IG: https://www.instagram.c
