There's a good deal of misunderstanding when it comes to *what* exactly we should do with our thoughts during meditation. A lot of the confusion may be chalked up to semantics or different styles and techniques, but we can start to understand the basic process of 'letting go of all thoughts' or 'clearing the mind' as a shifting our our attentional resources FROM one thing (the thoughts) TO another (the focus of a meditation or mindful action).

Have a listen. Tell me what you think. Do you have trouble unraveling yourself from your thoughts sometimes?

Short meditation at the end of episode.

Jennifer Mielke is a founder, feminist, and fearless pattern mixer + boy mom x2. 

Back in 2009 her concerns about the environmental and social impacts of the fashion industry led her to opt out of buying from mainstream retail all together. She turned to secondhand to supply her considerable love of style and was amazed by the practically unworn clothes she was able to find in thrift stores. Since then she's been finding ways to make it easy for any woman who wants a more ethical and sustainable wardrobe to find clothes they LOVE secondhand. 

Her latest project Style Crush, is a member owned resale marketplace pairing style inspiration with the secondhand items you need to recreate looks you love.
