Mindfulness Beyond The Mind

Keneilwe Maake

Welcome to the Mindfulness Beyond the Mind podcast. This podcast is dedicated to exploring the depths of psychology, human behavior, and the effects of childhood trauma on our adult lives. It’s a space for healing and self-discovery, where we discuss the mental health challenges that shape us—whether in our careers, relationships, or personal growth. We confront the inner battles, such as imposter syndrome and unresolved wounds, that affect our mental well-being and overall sense of self. Here, we normalize conversations about healing, mental health, and self-awareness, boundaries, family dynamics and we allow ourselves to embrace vulnerability and transform our understanding of who we are. Thank you for being here. A little about Mindfulness Beyond the Mind: This podcast is about tapping into the rich tapestry of mindfulness—exploring what makes us whole, and understanding the experiences that have shaped who we are today. We dive into how our careers can impact our mental health, the necessity of allowing healing in these spaces, and navigating imposter syndrome. We also address childhood traumas and how they manifest in leadership, friendships, love, and family dynamics. At its core, this podcast is about the psychology of becoming self-aware and embracing that journey fully.
