Mending our Ways

Mending our Ways

Author: Transformation Talk Radio January 14, 2021 Duration: 0:00
The wind is howling, events are swirling, and many of us feel as if we are being torn apart. What can we do to repair the seams and patch the tears in the fabric of daily life?

Hosted by Dr. Mariangela Maguire, Nothing But Now ~ Mindful Living is a practical guide for anyone who finds the concept of "living in the present" more frustrating than freeing. We know the past can haunt us and the future can cause anxiety, but intellectual understanding alone doesn't quiet the mental noise. This podcast moves beyond the familiar platitudes to explore the tangible skills and subtle shifts needed to actually inhabit your current moment. Each conversation is designed to untangle the specific thoughts-those rooted in stress, judgment, or relentless criticism-that pull us away from our immediate experience. You'll hear grounded discussions that bridge insights from psychology, contemplative practices, and everyday life, all aimed at cultivating what Dr. Maguire calls a "NOW mindset." Produced by Transformation Talk Radio, the show sits at the intersection of personal well-being and deeper understanding, making it a unique resource for listeners interested in the full spectrum of mindful living, from mental health to spiritual inquiry. The tone is compassionate and direct, offering not just theory but actionable reflection. Tuning into this podcast means finding a supportive space to pause, examine the barriers to your own presence, and discover a more anchored way of being, episode by episode.
