with Lele and Pat
Categories: Health
Listen to the last episode:
In this episode, Pat, Lele, and Nieta explore the big question: Is mindfulness still relevant in 2026? With global course enrollments declining and mindfulness no longer seen as a quick fix, the trio digs into why the practice endures and why it might matter now more than ever. Together they unpack: - Global trends and regional differences in mindfulness interest - Why mindfulness requires dedication, not shortcuts - How the practice has survived wars, crises, and thousands of years of change - The role of tech, information overload, and the attention economy - The growing scientific understanding of peace, calm, and well-being - How mindfulness supports life balance, happiness, and even financial clarity The hosts also share their vision for the podcast in 2026 bringing stories, guests, and practical insights to listeners throughout the year. Stay until the end for a short guided breathing practice led by Pat. And is mindfulness still relevant for you today? Share your thoughts and join the conversation.
