Answering the Call | Part 2 | Asher Lester | A Wise and Happy Life Podcast

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode of A Wise and Happy Life Podcast, host Bob Martin welcomes back Asher Lester, breathwork and meditation teacher, for a deep dive into the soundtrack of the mind and how our inner voice shapes our outer reality. Asher shares how 90 days of loving-kindness meditation completely rewired his negative self-talk—from 90% critical to 90% compassionate—and what that transformation taught him about success, inner peace, and real human connection.

 

They explore why so many high achievers resist heart-centered practices, how to integrate mindfulness into the speed of life, and why cultivating present-moment awareness may be the most important skill of all.

 

🔑 Highlights – What You’ll Learn:

 

🧠 Why negative self-talk is not motivation—it’s verbal self-assault (and how to shift it)

 

💗 How loving-kindness practice can make you more effective—not “soft”

 

🧘 How to weave rest and mindfulness into daily moments like walking through doors or washing dishes
