This week on I've Got Guts!, we're joined by Erica Ebert. Erica’s presence, wisdom, and the way she holds space is nothing short of transformative.

In this episode, we dive deep into mindfulness and its power to shift how we relate to our bodies, our pain, and our inner dialogue. Erica shares insights from her work as a certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher through Brown University, and how practices like attend and befriend and RAIN (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) can rewire our brains, reduce suffering, and increase compassion—especially in the face of chronic illness.

We also explore how women can unapologetically celebrate what we’re good at, the importance of self-care and boundaries, and how to feel everything without judgment. Whether you’re managing physical pain, emotional overwhelm, or just trying to stay grounded in a chaotic world, this conversation will leave you inspired to meet yourself right where you are.
