72. Gutsy: Mindfulness Practices for Everyday Bravery

Electric Ideas with Whitney Baker

Many women today feel disconnected from themselves and stuck in a life they didn’t intend to create. They’re craving a more inspired and meaningful life. In the midst of this quest for courage, a unique and powerful concept emerges: gutsy mindfulness.

Whitney’s guest today, Dr. Leah Katz, incorporates mindfulness techniques and an emphasis on gratitude and compassion throughout her psychology work. She argues one key factor that might be standing in between women and creating a more inspired and meaningful life is courage.

In a discussion of Dr. Katz’s book, “Gutsy: Mindfulness Practices for Everyday Bravery,” they explore why it’s brave to leverage mindfulness to help access our dreams and design a more vibrant life.

Here’s what to look forward to in today’s episode

• How we make sustainable change
• Why is being quiet so uncomfortable
• Unconscious excuses and their purpose - Tricky little suckers
• Learning the balance between discipline and self-compassion so we don’t lose our way
• The self-help book and reflection question that truly changed Dr. Katz
• Mindfulness tools you can incorporate today
• Dr. Katz's science-based triangle of wellness
• It wasn’t ok. And that’s ok. I’m ok.
• What can women be asking themselves more? What areas of my life am I not giving enough attention to that I can start?
