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.

In this episode, we talk about why it’s important to notice when we’re not suffering as part of our practice. We also discuss savoring – what it is, and how it can lead to more pleasure as well as resilience during stressful moments in our lives. We’ll discuss how we can make savoring easier to practice and give some tips and ideas to help you create your own regular savoring practice.
This episode is about the importance of pausing to stop and look at the world around us so we can see the tiny miracles that exist in our lives. We also dive into connecting with nature around us and how it can help us heal – especially if we’re lonely. We’ll talk about how to practice mindfulness in action and ways we can begin to find magic in our daily lives.
This week’s episode is on how to step off the cushion and into the world, interweaving our spirituality with activism. We’ll be exploring compassion in action and how to take our practice from our internal work out into the world. Because our world IS what we are. It’s living through ALL of us.
This week we talk about the idea of “psychedelic exceptionalism” – what it means, how it’s affecting the War on Drugs, and even whether we should be concerned about it at all.
In this episode, we talk about sensitivity and its relationship to addiction. We’ll also look at how we can begin to heal ourselves and build resilience as sensitive people in a world that can feel very overwhelming.
This episode is all about being a leader in this world and our own lives every day. It’s about entering the room and turning the vibe into what you see would be the most skillful at the time – instead of automatically letting that vibe affect and change you, which is more reactionary. Sort of like the difference between a thermostat – which regulates the environment – vs a thermometer, which reacts to the environment.
