Episode 2 - Slow Drip Suicide and How I Found Mindfulness Meditation

Practice Makes Presence is a podcast with discussions on mental health, social justice, and spirituality.

Practice means that there is nothing conventional, standard, or predictable about your life. Your path is a grand journey where relationships with wise travelers can be both inspiring and encouraging. This growth takes work and support.

Presence means that we accept that this moment is the only opportunity we have to embrace life. Our growth in wisdom and compassion begins with honoring our experience, the experiences of those around us, and finally the experiences of the world around us.

The podcast is about thinking critically, growing authentically, and sharing wisdom intentionally. The podcast is not perfect, but with practice, we can all be more present in our lives and our communities. And that sounds perfect!
