107 - From Doing to Being: Finding Stillness, Self-Compassion, and Inner Peace with Ashley Davis Bush
What if peace is something already within you, waiting beneath the surface?
In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun talks with psychotherapist and author Ashley Davis Bush, who wrote The Little Book of Inner Peace, The Art and Power of Acceptance, and others. They explore how to move beyond the endless “doing” of our culture and reconnect with the deeper wisdom of simply being. In particular, Ashley addresses how self-compassion and befriending your emotions can be a key to peace, as well as how nature can be a portal to grounding, oneness, and spiritual connection.
Whether you’ve been practicing mindfulness for years or you’re just curious about finding more calm in daily life, this conversation offers encouragement and gentle, practical tools for reconnecting with your center.
Key Takeaways
- Micro practices matter. Peace doesn’t require long retreats or hour-long meditations. Small, sacred pauses throughout the day - a breath, a bell, a touchstone - can reconnect us to center.
- Acceptance is not resignation. Active acceptance, paired with compassion, opens the door to peace and allows us to engage with life in more authentic ways.
- It’s never too late to find peace. No matter your age, life stage, or past experiences, you can learn new ways of engaging with stillness and your inner being.
