Episode #60 features part two of my interview with Vanessa Cornett. It picks up where we left off so it’s important to head back to episode #59 if you haven’t taken in all of Dr. Cornett’s insight and advice about healthy disengagement. Make sure to catch her descriptions of disidentification affirmation and detaching with compassion—especially as musicians–these mental frameworks could provide just the lift your self-compassion needs. In this second part of our conversation, Vanessa explains how to re-engage with resistance–like salmon swimming upstream. Personally, I’ve noticed that her timely and timeless wisdom in these two episodes has served as a tune-up for my emotional well-being. My guess is that it may do the same for you. By the end of this episode, you, too, will feel empowered with strategies to help you mindfully navigate your way upstream in this postpandemic world.
