25 : Meditation : Compassion Practice for Dealing with Gun Violence

Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond.

Join me for this guided loving kindness meditation practice where we send kind well wishes to first ourselves and then to a series of other people and groups of people.

Ultimately we send love and kindness to those people affected by gun violence, which is really all of us, at least in the US. None of us can truly live without some level of fear that it could happen to us or in our community.

I hope you find this supportive and would love to hear what you think! Send me a message at mindfulfirepodcast@gmail.com.

This is for you if you’re at or near FI (Coast FI or full FIRE) and:

• You feel stuck after “doing everything right,” but you’re not sure what you’re optimizing for anymore.
• You’re caught between freedom and overwhelm (“I could do anything… so I do nothing”).
• You want clarity and momentum—but you don’t want someone to tell you what to do.

🔥 WHAT we’ll do together (over 10 weeks)

In a small group (mastermind-style), you’ll:

• Get clear on what you actually want (beyond expectations, comparison, and “shoulds”).
• Create a big, meaningful vision for your next chapter—one that fits who you are now.
