Living Centered Podcast

Why does it feel so hard to set boundaries in our closest relationships? How can we show up as our most authentic selves with our families? What does it look like to accept someone for who they are but also have healthy expectations of those we love? 
  
Today, we’re diving into these questions and more with Minaa B., licensed social worker, mental health educator, and author of the new book Owning Our Struggles. Join us as Mickenzie, Hannah, and Minaa explore the balance between practicing radical acceptance and setting boundaries with people in our lives and how to regain agency in the areas we need it most.

What is Living Centered Podcast?

So many of us go through life feeling out of touch with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We feel disconnected, overwhelmed, distracted, and uncertain of how to find the clarity, purpose, and direction we so deeply, so authentically, desire. The Living Centered Podcast in an invitation to another way of living.

Every episode, we sit down with mental health experts, artists, and friends for a practical and honest conversation about how to pursue a more centered life—rediscovering, reclaiming, and rooting in who we truly are.
