Into the Story
Bree Aesie from Into The Stories Podcast joins us today for a conversation about meditation and stories. This was one of my favourite conversations yet, packed with lots of life lessons as well as English learning tips and motivation.
Since Bree’s podcast is all about looking at stories, we start by turning the tables on Bree and I ask her to share a meaningful story for her. We talk about her 10-day silent meditation retreat in Thailand and some of the difficulties and lessons from that experience.
We delve into topics around meditation and mindfulness, and also why learning a language through stories is such a powerful and effective method.
By the way, I also appeared on Bree’s podcast! You can listen to our episode here where I talk about a challenging and personal experience in my 20s.
