Legacy is something every man wants to create to leave his mark on the world. Family is a great way to create your legacy. 

It's a cliché, but the quality of life is not so much about what happens but how you respond to what happens. 

In this episode, we welcome Heather McMahon, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, a Master Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and a Certified Mindfully Informed Professional. 

We dive into the wisdom she gained through her 30+ year experience in the human services industry, how meditation has become her non-negotiable practice for herself, and why she recommends it to everybody.

***Wow, this is the 100th episode of Why Not Meditate? podcast!
Thank you so much for your ongoing support!***


Everything in life is relational. Everybody and everything in your life is merely responding according to who you are being and how you are showing up. Isn't that an amazing news? It means that you don't need to change anything or anybody to improve your life. You just need to change yourself, and everything and everyone will change accordingly.

Journal prompts:

• How are you treating your life? (e.g., lovingly, haphazardly, grudgingly, etc.)
• What areas in your life do you want to see changes? If your life is merely responding to you, how do you want to change the way you are showing up in those areas?
• How can you become a better lover for your life?

Welcome to Beyond the Text: The Interviews! In today's episode, we're privileged to host Professor Anthony Pagden, a distinguished scholar whose work on the Enlightenment sheds light on its relevance in our modern world.

Professor Pagden's academic journey spans continents, from Oxford to Santiago, Chile, and prestigious institutions like King's College, Cambridge, and UCLA. His research delves into the intellectual history of empire, cosmopolitanism, and the Enlightenment's impact on contemporary society.

With over a dozen books, including The Enlightenment – and why it still matters, Professor Pagden's insights have reached global audiences. He explores how Enlightenment ideals emerged amidst challenges to religious authority, emphasising reason and social bonds over traditional frameworks.

During our conversation, we'll explore the Enlightenment's departure from religious dogma, the influence of thinkers like Montaigne and Descartes, and the diverse perspectives that shaped this transformative era. We'll also discuss the legacy of Enlightenment ideals in today's liberal democracies and global institutions.

Join us as we uncover why the Enlightenment matters now more than ever. Welcome, Professor Anthony Pagden!

Do you have a family member or friend away from the Church? It might break your heart because you want them to return. What can you do to soften their hearts and consider returning to Mass? 

John Morales and Marcel LeJeune explore this topic which is close to many hearts. 🙏

The Big Picture:

• The Pain of Drifting Away: It's a common struggle among Catholics - seeing loved ones drift away from the Church. This emotional challenge mirrors God's own yearning for His children's return.
• No Magic Formula: Bringing someone back isn't a one-size-fits-all deal. It's a journey shaped by individual circumstances and choices.

Key Strategies:

1. Strengthen the Relationship: Start by nurturing your relationship with the person. Whether a friend or family member, showing genuine care without judgment is crucial.
2. Listen More, Preach Less: Instead of launching into a theological debate or lecture, open your ears. Do your best to understand where they are coming from.
3. Understanding ≠ Agreement: You can comprehend someone's stance without endorsing it. This empathetic approach can bridge gaps.

Marcel's Golden Tips:

• Start with Why: Uncover the reasons behind their departure. Is it a doctrinal issue, a sense of community loss, or something else?
• Pray and Be Patient: Trust in God's timing and continue praying. Patience is key in this spiritual endeavor.
• Make Gentle Invitations: Invite them to join in prayer or attend Mass, but don’t pressure. Small, sincere invitations can sometimes open hearts.

Real-Life Queries:

• For Parents of Adult Children: Engage with them as adults. Ask open-ended questions and listen to their beliefs and struggles.
• Dealing with Disbelief: If your children or grandchildren have stepped away from the Church, maintain a balance. Avoid being overbearing, but also don't become indifferent. You can still do something, and it can go a very long way over time.

Wrapping Up:

Hey Babe 👋🏻  I'm 46 years old, who goes back to school for fun?!?!

Last night, as I was going to bed, I had a brief thought: "Who goes back to school just for fun?"

I'm both thrilled and nervous about this. Last night, as I was reviewing the textbook, I couldn't help but wonder how I'll be able to read and comprehend all of this after undergoing major eye surgery.

Rather than panicking, I embraced my Visual Impaired community and discovered a valuable resource for book reading! I am absolutely thrilled about this. It will greatly assist me in enhancing my learning and comprehension abilities. I truly wish I had access to such resources during my teenage years.

Feel free to contact me through my social media if you're interested in the book source!

So wish me luck - I'm going back to school 🎓

❤️ Love you so big,
~Jennie

"Let go of everything that is not serving you."

How many times have you heard this statement? And how many times have you heard about the consequences of letting go...?

That's right. Every action has a consequence, and "letting go" is no exception. There are consequences you have to face when you let go of the things that are not serving you, and one of them is grief.

In this solo episode, Masako shares her personal experience and insight on the alchemical process of letting go and grieving.
