Mari Orkenyi and I became fast friends. Our conversation really came alive in the second half and I didn't want to cut anything out, so this is part two of last week's episode. Mari is a Contemplative Educator, Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher and Writer. Her work lives in the space where Contemplative Practices, Buddhist Psychology and Western Psychotherapy intersect. As a native Brazilian immigrant with Hungarian roots, living in Los Angeles by way of Spain and Mexico, her multicultural perspectives and backgrounds are continuously informing her work. In this week’s episode, we talk about the quality of presence, acceptance, Buddhism, social media, love, cooking, and Mari gives me some wonderful personal advice. Show notes:- Check out Mari's work on The Web and Instagram- Download our FREE new zine, "The Creative Combination"- Sign up for our LET IT OUT letter to get show notes straight to your inbox - Katie's book- full show notes here Please join me in supporting:- The Asian Mental Health Project offers a safe space and resources for Asian individuals to engage in conversations about mental health. Sponsors:- Go to Headspace.com/LETITOUT for a free one-month trial with access to Headspace’s full library of meditations for every situation.- Browse the Organifi shop and use code LETITOUT for 20% off all Organifi products.
