Episode Details

If you think you’re “bad at meditation,” this episode proves your mind just needs training—not punishment.

If your brain’s bouncing like a puppy—scrolling, stressing, overthinking—this episode is your leash: simple moves to sit, breathe, and feel peace fast.

Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with Phyllis Coletta, author of How to Be a Good Dog, for a heartfelt, zero-judgment conversation on training your “puppy mind” with love instead of force.

✨ You’ll learn:

🐾 2-minute “landing” to stop the mental frenzy on demand

🐶 Puppy-mind training: why kindness beats inner bullying every time

🌱 Tiny, repeatable mindfulness habits for real life (not retreats)

🕊️ How stillness actually heals stress, shame, and old emotional hurts
