In today's Valentine's Day #WiseGirl chat, I sit down with Lama Rod Owens, co-author of Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love and Liberation. We address various issues that come up in mediation practice, and in life... how to love and live better, the role of vulnerability, agency and #MeToo, and how investigating our own suffering can help heal not only ourselves, but others too. Here's to loving well! Enjoy:)

#WiseGirl: Need vs. Greed, with Francesca Maxime, meditation teacher

In today's #WiseGirl, on FB LIVE, I talk about NEED vs. GREED. How sometimes we go for more than we need to, and live in the past or future about what we don't have. I invite you to consider how we can be happy with the present moment and what we have right here and now.

WiseGirl: #TheStruggleIsReal, with Francesca Maxime, meditation teacher

In today's #WiseGirl, I talk about the Millennial phrase, #TheStruggleIsReal. In fact, much of our suffering in life is caused by our inability or refusal to accept things as they actually presently are, hence, the struggle is based on resistance. If we learn to surrender to the present moment, a new world of spaciousness opens up and if we can remain curious and without judgement or attached to fixed ideas and beliefs, we just may be surprised by what we come to experience, and discover.

WiseGirl: Intentions v. Resolutions, with Francesca Maxime: Journalist, ...

In this WiseGirl: Intentions vs. Resolutions, first broadcast on Facebook Live, I'm talking about resolutions and how being resolute isn't necessarily how I'm going to approach this coming year. How perhaps setting our "intentions" may be more helpful than something that may feel inflexible or binding, like "resolutions."

#WiseGirl: Setting Your Intention, with Francesca Maxime, meditation tea...

In today's #WiseGirl, I talk about setting your intention. An intention is a thought/feeling, like gratitude, compassion, spaciousness, patience, that you can consciously choose to bring more of into your life. You can set a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly intention. The idea is to start tuning our inner compass toward our highest inner self, and not be so reactive to our automatic conditioning.
