In this profound and deeply personal episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony and Russell are joined once again by Hector Marcel, president of the Three Jewels Tibetan Center in New York City, meditation teacher, and Buddhist practitioner. Together, they explore the transformative power of self-reflection, the inevitability of life’s challenges, and how death meditation can help us embrace life and loss with clarity and compassion.
Hector shares wisdom from his decades of Buddhist practice, offering a fresh perspective on grief, pre-grieving, and the spiritual tools that allow us to navigate the chaos of modern life with grace. From the files of our mind to the crabs-in-a-bucket metaphor, this conversation will encourage you to shift your perspective and plant the seeds of peace and resilience.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
- How our perceptions shape our reality and why managing “mind files” is key to self-awareness.
- The art of pre-grieving and how death meditation can transform our approach to life and loss.
- Navigating controversies in spiritual communities and finding your personal truth amid collective judgment.
- The power of karma and compassion to heal our relationships with ourselves and others.
- The role of meditation in cultivating an observer mind to rise above life’s triggers.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
