In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Larry Kesslin to explore why presence is not a spiritual concept, it is the only moment we actually have. If the holidays or New Year left you feeling busy but not fulfilled, this conversation brings you back to what matters.

This episode is for anyone craving steadier inner peace, deeper connection, and a more grounded definition of joy. Larry shares how a 2012 trip to rural Uganda reshaped his view of success, why joy is not dependent on circumstances, and how simple awareness can shift your relationship with anxiety, grief, and self-talk.

Larry Kesslin is an entrepreneur and coach who has studied human joy across cultures for 13 years. After a transformative 2012 trip to rural Uganda, he created the “Joy Molecule” framework, centered on knowing what you are, who you are, and why you are here.

• Use your breath as a daily anchor to return to the present.

• Start change by noticing when you are not present.

• Redefine success beyond freedom, include service and significance.

• Separate thoughts from identity: thoughts are data, not you.

• Build conscious connection with self first, then others.

On the The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Aleksandra Ceho to explore why real mindfulness is not passive, especially when life feels uncertain at the start of a new year. This episode is for anyone feeling pressure, anxiety, or urgency to “figure it all out” fast, and wants a steadier way to move forward.

Aleksandra connects martial arts training, mindfulness, and astrology through one core idea: master your inner universe so you can respond, not react. You’ll learn how anticipation creates stress, why hardship training builds mental resilience, and how astrology can support action without becoming an excuse.

Aleksandra Ceho is an astrologer who teaches astrology and tarot internationally and has over 20 years of martial arts experience. She holds an instructorship in Boxe Française Savate, a French form of kickboxing, and works with entrepreneurs and executives on strategic preparation.

• Replace anticipation with presence so your mind stops spiraling into worst case outcomes

• Use “look at the punch” thinking: face challenges directly to respond effectively

• Build stress inoculation through controlled difficulty like martial arts training

• Notice how your mind exaggerates discomfort, then verify what your body can actually handle

• Treat astrology as a timing and awareness tool, then pair it with clear action steps

• Reduce shame driven decision loops by focusing on learning, not self judgment

On The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits with spiritual coach Toni LaMotta to unpack the invisible vows that shape our lives, especially the ones formed in childhood and reinforced every new year.

This episode is for anyone who feels “successful on paper” but quietly disconnected inside. You will learn how to spot obedience that costs you your voice, use the body as a truth compass, and reset intentions without turning growth into self-pressure.

Toni LaMotta spent 16 years in a convent under a vow of obedience and later devoted her work to helping people recognize borrowed vows and reclaim self-trust. She teaches the Enneagram and leads Inner Compass coaching and training.

• Identify your hidden vows: perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachievement, self-silencing

• Use somatic cues: calm equals truth, tightness equals misalignment

• Pause and trace triggers to earlier moments, not the present situation

• Choose a yearly “quality” (peace, joy, beauty) instead of rigid goals

• Practice quiet listening through directed journaling and daily check-ins
