Designing a Life That Feels Worth Living

Moving Beyond Autopilot with Dr. Wendy O’Connor

Omni Mindfulness Podcast — Episode #257

You can be successful, capable, and high-functioning — and still feel quietly unfulfilled.

In this episode, Shilpa is joined by Dr. Wendy O’Connor, Stanford-trained positive psychologist and success coach for women entrepreneurs, to explore what positive psychology calls languishing — that in-between state where life works… but doesn’t feel meaningful.

This conversation invites listeners to question inherited definitions of success, recognize the cost of living on autopilot, and begin designing a life aligned with what truly matters — without burning everything down.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• What languishing is — and why it’s not failure
• How high achievers get stuck living by default instead of design
• The difference between stress reduction and fulfillment
• Why awareness is the first step toward meaningful change
• How to move off autopilot with intention and compassion

A Question to Reflect On:

Where in your life are things working — but not feeling meaningful?

Breaking the Mindset Boxes with Betsy Pepine (EPI. #256)

What invisible boxes are shaping your choices — without you realizing it?

In this episode of the Omni Mindfulness Podcast, Shilpa sits down with Betsy Pepine, bestselling author of Breaking Boxes and serial entrepreneur, to explore how inherited beliefs, labels, and expectations quietly limit growth — and how small, conscious pivots can create powerful transformation.

This conversation opens our February series: The Mindset of Alignment, inviting listeners to question old narratives and realign with what’s actually true.

In This Episode, We Explore

• How invisible “boxes” form through family, culture, and industry
• Why labels and habits can become unconscious constraints
• The difference between failure and necessary pivots
• How micro-pivots lead to macro life and business shifts
• What alignment looks like after awareness — without force

This is not about burning everything down.
It’s about noticing where you’ve outgrown the system you’re running.

🧭 Reflection Prompt

Where might you be living inside a box you never consciously chose — and what would it feel like to loosen it?

The Uncomfortable Truth About Habits: When They’re a System — and When They’re a Signal

Most habit advice focuses on discipline, tracking, and consistency.
But what if habits don’t fail because they’re poorly designed —
what if they fail because we’re still running systems that no longer reflect who we are?

In this solo episode, Shilpa explores habits through a different lens:
not as personality flaws or motivation problems, but as systems that amplify an underlying state.

Drawing on insights from Atomic Habits by James Clear and Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin, this conversation bridges systems thinking with self-knowledge — and introduces pause as the missing diagnostic step most habit advice skips.

You’ll explore:

• Why habits can “work” and still feel heavy
• The difference between consistency and alignment
• How habits amplify belief states like pressure, control, or self-trust
• What heart-centered habits actually mean (and what they don’t)
• Why freedom isn’t less structure — it’s not having to fight yourself
• How pause helps you choose what deserves to grow, instead of amplifying by default

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about discerning which systems still deserve your energy — and which ones you may have outgrown.

🎙️ Heart-Centered Mindset: Leading with the EVOKE Method™

with Anna Rósa Parker
Omni Mindfulness Podcast · Episode #254

What if clarity didn’t come from pushing harder — but from listening more deeply?

🎧 Episode 253 — The Mindset of Habit Freedom with Anna Shiina

As we step into a new year, many of us feel the pull to finally change the habits that no longer serve us.

But what if lasting change doesn’t begin with discipline or willpower —
what if it begins with how we relate to ourselves in the present moment?

In this first conversational episode of 2026, Shilpa is joined by Anna Shiina, mindset coach and author of Habit Freedom, for a grounded and compassionate conversation about what truly supports sustainable habit change.

Together, they explore how awareness, nervous system safety, and self-relationship play a deeper role in shaping our daily choices — and why trying to “fix” habits often keeps us stuck in the same patterns.

Rather than pushing for transformation, this episode invites a gentler approach: noticing what’s happening beneath the habit, and allowing clarity to arise from presence.

✨ In This Episode, We Explore:

• Why habits are really about your relationship with yourself
• How stillness and presence interrupt unconscious cycles
• Why willpower alone rarely creates lasting change
• How compassion becomes a catalyst for freedom
• What it means to make conscious choices from present awareness

🧭 Reflection to Sit With:

What if freedom doesn’t begin with control — but with understanding?

💜 About Today’s Guest: Anna Shiina

🎧 Episode Show Notes
Amplify from Coherence: How Intention Shifts Everything

What if amplification isn’t about doing more —
but about being coherent first?

In this opening solo episode of 2026, we pause to explore a quieter, more powerful way of working with intention — one rooted not in force or hustle, but in state, coherence, and remembrance.

Drawing on insights from physicist Thomas Campbell and contemplative frameworks around intention and awareness, this episode invites you to reflect on how the state you live from shapes what unfolds next.

When intention arises from alignment — rather than ego or urgency — it doesn’t push outcomes into existence.
It subtly shifts probability.

This episode is not about manifesting harder.
It’s about tuning the signal before you amplify anything outward.

In this episode, we explore:

Why amplification without coherence creates noise — not resonance

How intention works when it’s rooted in alignment and service

The difference between setting goals from the thinking mind vs. intuition

Why awareness of your state matters more than effort

A simple Pause Practice you can return to before decisions, goals, or visibility

🧭 End-of-Episode Pause Practice

At the close of this episode, you’ll be guided through a gentle Pause Practice — a moment to notice your current state and re-orient toward coherence before setting intention.

This is not a technique or a fix.
It’s a way to tune your internal signal — so what you amplify responds differently.

✨ Continue the Reflection

If this episode resonates, you may enjoy exploring how you naturally pause, reset, and move through change.

This guided meditation is a pause for remembrance — a gentle return to your natural state of coherence.

Rather than striving to become someone new, this practice invites you to remember who you already are beneath the noise. Your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system begin to align — creating a steady, coherent inner state that quietly shapes how you move through life.

In this meditation, we explore a powerful truth:
your future responds not to effort, but to state.

When you soften the body, regulate the nervous system, and allow gratitude, clarity, and trust to settle within you, your presence becomes the signal you send forward. From that state of coherence, aligned action and authentic expression arise naturally — without force.

This is a practice of becoming by remembering.

🌿 What This Meditation Supports

• Returning to a calm, regulated nervous system
• Cultivating a coherent inner state (thoughts, emotions, and energy in harmony)
• Releasing striving, pressure, and mental noise
• Aligning with your future self through presence, not effort
• Reconnecting with gratitude, trust, and inner steadiness

This meditation is ideal for:

• Morning grounding or evening reflection
• Transitions, pivots, or new beginnings
• Anyone seeking clarity without overwhelm

🎵 Music Credit

Meditation music: “Above the Clouds” by Music of Wisdom

Visualization is one of the most powerful ways to shape your inner state. When paired with supportive music, it becomes easier to quiet the mind, regulate the body, and access expanded awareness.

“Above the Clouds” is a spacious, uplifting piece designed to support deep visualization and perspective shifts. Its airy textures create a sense of rising beyond everyday thought patterns — helping you connect with a calmer, clearer, more expansive version of yourself.

This music gently supports the process of remembering your future self by aligning your present state.

🧭 Reflection Prompt (Optional)

After listening, you may want to pause and reflect:

• What state did I feel most clearly during this meditation?
• Where in my life would returning to this state change how I respond?
• What might unfold if I led from coherence rather than effort?
