Summary
Trigger Warning: Trauma, depression and suicidal ideation
Are you ready to make a change in your life? This week, Jac’s going solo and opening up about her personal story with mindfulness and the transformational impact it’s had on her life through her darkest days. From feeling lost after college to going through a gut-wrenching divorce, Jac shares the messy yet transformative nature of this practice. She breaks down what mindfulness is, how it helped her gain clarity, and why it’s not always easy and isn’t meant for everyone. Jac also introduces her exciting new venture, Words for Monday, a platform for both healthcare professionals and everyday individuals to learn about mindfulness, find community, and get started on their own journey. Hopefully, this episode makes you feel seen, gives you hope, and gives you reassurance that there can be beauty on the other side of pain.

| 0:17.3 | Hello and happy Friday, Womed family. Jack here. We're switching things up a little this week. I am coming to you solo. |
| 0:27.5 | Danny and I are so grateful for our conversations together, but we thought having solo episodes could be a fun way for us to connect on a more personal level with you to share something |
| 0:40.5 | that we've learned or experienced or felt really called to talk about. Today, I'm going to talk |
| 0:47.3 | about mindfulness and my personal journey with mindfulness and how I hope it can help you in your life. Maybe you've tried |
| 0:57.4 | mindfulness or meditation practices before and it just never sticks. Maybe you've never tried |

| 1:09.8 | is not just about mindfulness. |
| 1:12.2 | It's about healing. |

| 1:36.0 | but also freeing, like a weight being lifted. So let's get into it. My journey with mindfulness |
| 1:43.7 | started over 10 years ago |
| 1:45.0 | after graduating college where I played a sport. I felt so, so lost. I had spent most of my |
| 1:52.5 | life as an athlete, training, running, skating, lifting weights. So when my sport was over, |
| 1:58.1 | I never felt so disconnected from my body. |
| 2:02.1 | I didn't know what the hell I was supposed to do with my body. |
| 2:05.3 | I remembered hearing once about yoga that that was something I could do for my body. |
