In this episode, Alison Cohen explores how mindful awareness can help us shift from autopilot reactivity to intentional, compassionate response. Rooted in the themes of teshuvah — return and transformation — she helps us reflect on how pausing, sensing, and staying in contact with the present moment creates space for choice and change. Join her as she leads us, through breath, reflection, and gentle inquiry, to reconnect with our capacity for choice and to meet each moment with kindness.
