Peace In Mind w/Ariella Shanti Laden

TURKEY DAY DROP! In Pursuit of Signal Ep. 5: Peace In Mind w/ Ariella Shanti Laden is a special Thanksgiving day drop. You can listen/watch will you cook, when T-giving boredom sets in, or when everybody is watching a parade or game you have no interest in. Ha! Ariella Shanti Laden is a Psycho-Spiritual Life Coach. Her approach to helping her clients through critical life transitions is masterfully tailored to the needs of the individual. She describes her methodology as the marriage of her academic background in psychology and her passionate foreground in spirituality. She infuses her work, traditionally seen as rather serious, with levity and an unmistakeable warmth. She’s a real one who believes that going deep to uncover a way forward doesn’t always need to be heavy. In fact, she clearly encourages laughter and maybe a little frolicking to shed light into the corners of self-discovery and growth. We really get into it in this episode covering everything from the frighteningly exciting growth of AI to her 3 A’s (+ a few :) for welcoming quiet into the noisy technological world we live in. We EVEN spontaneously ended up doing a mini coaching session for ME. It was INCREDIBLE. This is a gooood one, y’all. NOTE: I’m shifting my In Pursuit of Signal episode release days to Thursdays from this point forward. I will still be posting other content and notes on other days of the week. ANOTHER NOTE: Episode 6 of the podcast will be a very special one! I will be recording a two-guest, 1-hour episode as a part of the broadcasting line-up at Nucleus Hub Wynwood during Miami Art Basel Week on Wednesday, December 3 from 12-1PM.
