Good news: You don't have to become a meditation master to experience the benefits of mindfulness. In fact, you don't need any special skills or equipment at all.

Today we dive into the realm of mindfulness and meaningful living with our guest, Serge Prengel. Serge is a therapist, life coach, and author who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our conversation.

Serge Prengel has dedicated his career to exploring creative approaches to mindfulness, both within the therapeutic realm and in everyday existence. Drawing from his journey, which saw him transition from an advertising agency owner to a therapist, Serge shares his unique insights and perspectives on various aspects of meaningful living.

In this episode, we discussed:

• How to think about transferable skills as you leave work behind

• Sergei's own journey from advertising agency owner to a therapist

• Why deep listening benefits both parties in a conversation

• The power of noticing what's happening in the moment

• How taking a deliberate "active pause" is a gateway to mindfulness

• How to become better at noticing your surroundings (and why it matters)
