Season 2 Episode 28: Unshakeable Confidence: The Power to be with Ourself to Free Ourself with Mare Chapman
How can one be more mindful? For Mare, it’s helpful to be aware of our conditioning as women in this society.
It’s important not to blame ourselves when we realize that we’re giving our power away when we can’t say our truth, when we shrink, or when we turn against ourselves when we receive harsh judgment. We are not our conditioned patterns and that is the fundamental understanding that takes time to fully understand. Another way is to connect with yourself in the moment, which also includes doing meditation. It’s a simple way to know oneself as you are at a certain moment while cultivating an intimate relationship from within.
Mare Chapman, M.A., is a mindfulness-based feminist therapist, mindfulness teacher, consultant, and author. Building on forty years of clinical experience and thirty years of studying and practicing mindfulness, she is devoted to understanding how internalized misogyny trains women to disconnect from their authenticity, thereby losing their voice and power, and how mindfulness can be applied to transform these habits so women can live fully empowered, vibrant, and healthy lives. Her recently published book, "Unshakeable Confidence, the Freedom to be Our Authentic Selves: Mindfulness for Women", is based on the class she’s been teaching to women in Madison, Wisconsin for over 20 years. Her audio podcasts and guided meditations are available at her website: www.marechapman.com
