In this episode, we’re joined by Shannon DiCarlo — yoga and meditation teacher and author— who opens up about her transformative journey with OCD and generalized anxiety. Shannon shares how discovering yoga and meditation during a difficult chapter in her life helped her stop attaching to and resisting intrusive thoughts and begin living more fully in the present moment.
Through honest reflection and grounded wisdom, Shannon discusses how mindfulness practices not only supported her healing but also became a lifelong path. She offers insight into accessible techniques for anyone struggling with anxiety or overthinking, and shares valuable resources to begin or deepen your own practice.
You can find Shannon’s guided meditations on the Insight Timer app. Her book, How to Be a Quitter, explores how letting go doesn't equate to failure, and can lead to true balance and well bring.
Whether you're new to mindfulness or seeking inspiration to reconnect with your practice, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that peace is possible.
