Mindful, Kindful Living
Life doesn’t always go as planned. We get stressed. We react. We miss the exit. And sometimes… we forget to be kind to ourselves along the way.
Welcome to Mindful, Kindful Living — a podcast for people who want to slow down, laugh at their humanity, and live with more mindfulness and compassion.
I’m Connie Warden, mindfulness teacher and author of Speeding to Compassion, and each week I sit down with thoughtful guests to explore real-life stories — the messy moments, the turning points, and the small shifts that help us move from reaction to reflection.
This podcast is for you if you:
- feel the pressure to be perfect
- know that your health is your wealth.
- want to respond to life with more calm and clarity
- are curious about mindfulness in everyday situations
- or simply want to feel a little more at ease being human
We talk about things like emotional intelligence, stress, relationships, resilience, and self-compassion — all through the lens of real stories and honest conversation, with just enough humor to keep things light.
New episodes drop weekly on Wednesdays and each one is an invitation to take a breath, reset, and gently steer back toward what matters.
If that sounds like something you need, hit follow, and come join us in Mindful, Kindful Living.
