Are you feeling stuck in a problem—believing every scary thought, trying to “fix” your feelings, or spiraling into overthinking instead of moving forward?
In this Secret Sangha episode (a new series from Diana’s live community that she hosts weekly in Santa Barbara), Diana shows you how to build psychological flexibility so you can stay open, aware, and engaged—even when things are hard—and take small actions toward what matters most.
Listen and learn:
- The 6 core skills of psychological flexibility and how they show up in real-life stress
- How to relate to thoughts with more freedom: “thank you, mind”—without automatically following it
- A clear way to work with emotions when you’re stuck in fixing or flooding
- How small, values-based actions (even minuscule ones) expand the “world you’re free to inhabit”
