<p>In this powerful episode of <em>Passion Struck</em>, I'm joined by world-renowned mindfulness pioneer <strong>Jon Kabat-Zinn</strong>, founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and author of <em>Full Catastrophe Living</em> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3FH20Ll" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Wherever You Go, There You Are</em></a>.</p><p>We dive deep into the essence of mindfulness—not as a buzzword, but as a radical invitation to <em>fully feel</em> our lives. Jon unpacks why true healing requires presence, why you can’t bypass your emotions, and how mindfulness isn’t about relaxing—it’s about <em>awakening</em>.</p><p>show up.</p><p>Click HERE for the full show notes</p><p><strong>Explore More: The Ignited Life Newsletter</strong></p><p>If today’s episode sparked something in you, you’ll love The Ignited Life—our free Substack newsletter created to fuel your growth between episodes.</p><p>👉 Subscribe now at <a href="https://theignitedlife.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TheIgnitedLife.net</a>.</p><p>Catch more of Jon Kabat-Zinn: <a href="https://jonkabat-zinn.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jonkabat-zinn.com/</a></p><p>We also explore:</p><ul><li>The misunderstood purpose of meditation</li><li>How to work with pain, fear, and overwhelm</li><li>The dangers of spiritual bypassing</li><li>Why being present is the most courageous act of our time</li><li>The biological roots of connection, compassion, and consciousness</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you liked the show, please leave us a review—it only takes a moment and helps us reach more people!
