The Mindful AL Podcast

Learning to Be Present - Fine Line Between Curiosity and Control


Listen Later

Holding space sounds gentle, but in reality it requires discipline.


In this episode of the Mindful AL Podcast, I’m joined by Sebastian Redolfi, Lotscoach® and Facilitator, and together we explore what it truly means to guide, support, and stay present without overcontrolling or rescuing.


Sebastian shares his journey from engineering into facilitation — and how he discovered that the real work isn’t about giving answers, but about creating the conditions where people can find their own.


We dive into:

  • sensing what a group really needs and why no two sessions are ever the same
  • what it feels like to hold space and practice presence
  • overthinking, perfectionism, and learning to live with “good enough”
  • navigating blurred boundaries in freelance life
  • the difference between coaching and therapy
  • what to do when you feel stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected


This episode isn’t about strategy or “fixing” others — it’s about awareness, reflection, and staying with what is.


If you’ve ever felt the urge to control or rescue, or if you’re curious about what real presence requires, this conversation is for you.
