🧘‍♂️ Episode Summary:
In this soul-stirring conversation, former Buddhist monk Stephen Schettini joins Brian Smith to talk about practical mindfulness, the emotional power of silence, and what it really means to know yourself. From the pain that led him to the monastery, to the courage it took to leave, Stephen shares timeless wisdom that helps us face modern challenges with clarity and grace.

💡 In This Episode, We Explore:

  • Why mindfulness isn’t about emptying your mind
  • The difference between real transformation and spiritual bypassing
  • How grief, anxiety, and frustration can be doorways to growth
  • What Stephen learned from the Buddha himself—beyond religion
