You're listening to Insights at the Edge.

Today my guest is Goldie Hawn.

Goldie Hawn is a director, producer, singer, and critically acclaimed actress. She has appeared in over 30 films, including Butterflies Are Free, Private

Benjamin, the Banger Sisters, and Cactus Flower, a film for which she received the Academy

Award and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. Goldie recently appeared in the 2017 film, Snatched, alongside Amy Schumer.

In 2003, Goldie created the Hahn Foundation, the nonprofit organization behind Mind Up, an educational program that is bringing mindfulness and meditation practices

to over 6 million children across four continents.

In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Goldie and I spoke about how she first became interested

in meditation and how she has grappled with claiming her true self versus

what other people project onto her. We also talked about teaching brain basics to kids

and some of the most important neuroscientific findings about what creates emotional resilience in children and how to introduce

these brain basics into the classroom. We talked about how Goldie introduces these same teachings

to her own grandkids and why love and family have always been her number one priority.

Here's my conversation with the very generous Goldie Hahn.

Goldie, many of our listeners, I'm sure, know you as an Academy Award-winning actress, a producer, and a director.

But what they might not know is that you've actually been meditating and interested in meditation since the 1970s.

And to start, I'd love to know how did you first become interested in meditation?
