Welcome to the Rebel Buddhist™ Podcast, where I help you free your mind so you can free your life. This podcast is for the rebellious ones. The wild people. I share my stories and what I’ve learned about being a rebel soul who wants to tame her mind…but not her life. It’s led to plenty of adventures and misadventures. I’ve learned tons of tools that combine Buddhist psychology, real-world mindfulness, cognitive coaching, and modern brain science – sort of like if Buddhism and science had a love child. I want to share them with you as we walk this path together. I’m not sharing this as a dharma teacher, but as a fellow practitioner with some street cred. Welcome to my world.

Ep. 222: Struggling with When Things End

In this week’s Episode we jam on a daily practice we can do to decrease unnecessary suffering – which is what this podcast is all about! It’s completely natural that things end – relationships, careers, objects we adore, and more. Yet we have so much resistance when things do come to an end, often feeling like it wasn’t supposed to happen. We’ll talk about the concept of “little deaths” that we experience in everyday life, plus the difference between when an ending is more easily accepted vs when we have more resistance.

Ep. 220: Greatest Hits Vol. 20 – Freedom to Change Your Mind

This week we talk about why we feel obligated to finish everything we start – even if we’re miserable in it. Careers, relationships, even small things like movies and a bad meal. Often it’s because we think changing our minds equals failure or some sort, but there are many others I’ll
cover in this episode. I also share how we can make every choice worth it… even when that
means walking away from something we’ve put a lot of time, money, and energy into.

Ep. 219: Our True Self vs Our Self-Like Parts

We also explore the concept of Self in Internal Family Systems and how Buddhist philosophy can help us know when we’re driven by our True Self vs our Self-like parts.
