Just started season 2 of the Veteran's PATH podcast and just wrapping up season 1 of the Men Talking Mindfulness podcast with Will Schneider ★ Mindfulness Leader.
In our Season #1 Finale, we discuss ways to mindfully avoiding the most common Holiday stressors:
➡️ “I can’t get it all done!”
➡️ “I can’t afford this.”
➡️ Holiday expectations vs holiday reality
➡️ “I can’t stand my family!”
➡️ “I’m lonely.”
➡️ “I hate crowds!”
➡️ “I’m exhausted!”
➡️ “I have too many parties.”
We hope that this episode helps you create a mindful and joyful holiday.
When you’re struggling, remind yourself “what are the holidays for?” and take ownership and action towards the holiday you want!
***hangout until the end of the show for a special holiday meditation!! Use this throughout the holidays to help in calming the mind and focusing on what’s truly important!!

Feelings (Part 3)
Wow! Thank you to Jon’s stand in this week, Jackie Shorrock... yes, a woman on Men Talking Mindfulness- for an insightful discussion about feelings!
I enjoyed learning from your feminine perspective and hearing the struggles you have as a well-being guru, a wife, and as a mother of two.
Here are some of the highlights in this episode:
- the “need” for women to seem like they have it all together
- why we bottle-up our emotions, where and how we learn this behavior.
- what true leadership is and looks like
- defining maturity
- the power of forgiveness
- the “spirals” of shame that keep us in the same place with that same BS
Wow! What a joy this episode has been for me. Thank you so much Jackie - I appreciate all your insight and time.
Jon and I will be back next week to continue with our next part of men and feelings. Thank you for tuning in and sharing this conversation with your community! Opening and closing Music:
