In this After the Show, Damon Frank and Recovered Life contributor Kolleen unpack what mindfulness really looks like once the meeting ends and life begins.
They talk about how easy it is to be in recovery but not enjoy recovery — and why slowing down, being present, and actually feeling what’s happening might be the missing piece. Kolleen shares stories from her own journey, including a wild bike ride through Old Delhi that taught her more about staying in the moment than any workshop ever could.
You’ll hear practical ways to weave mindfulness into daily life — washing dishes, walking, driving — plus the simple mantra that helped her rebuild trust in herself and her Higher Power:“Inhale, I surrender. Exhale, I trust.”
If you’ve ever felt restless, anxious, or stuck in your own story, this conversation might be the reminder you need to just be where your feet are.
