The Gross Truth About Why Our Brain Needs A Break
Mindfulness doesn’t end with Mindful May. Kara's former MBSR teacher Cassie Schindler returns to chat about how to find the version of meditation that works for you. In Part 2 of our mindfulness series, we dig into burnout, how our brain actually works, and what really happens in your nervous system when you pause—even for just 90 seconds.
Cassie walks us through a short, accessible guided meditation and shows how small “mind your moments” check-ins can reset stress before it
snowballs. We also explore whole-brain living, mindful parenting, and
why judgment—more than multitasking—is the sneakiest stress trigger.
In this episode you’ll get:
Whether you’re grabbing a quiet breath in the carpool line or stepping away from an inbox avalanche, consider this your permission to
pause—guilt-free.
0:00 — Mindfulness. Why It’s For Everyone and Every Month
2:46 — Start Small: Tiny Moments Can Be Mindful
7:30 — MBSR Explained: “Paying Attention… Without Judgment”
10:05 — 5-Minute Meditation: Breath Anchor & Body Scan (Don’t Drive While Meditating)
32:37 — Whole-Brain Living: Left vs. Right Brain & Jill Bolte Taylor’s “4 Characters”
