Welcome back, friends! This week on Mindful Moments: A Mental Health Podcast, Goran and Tara take us on a heartfelt and entertaining journey through mindfulness, mental health, and the simple joys of being human. If you missed the episode—or just want a quick recap—we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive in!
What’s a Mindful Moment Anyway?
The episode kicked off with an exploration of what it means to have a “mindful moment.” Tara shared a relatable story about rushing through a hectic morning, only to pause mid-bite of toast and notice the beauty of sunlight streaming through her window.
“It wasn’t a big, life-changing moment,” she explained, “but it was enough to remind me that I’m okay.”
Goran chimed in with his own mindfulness trick—losing himself in the rhythm of his favorite music. Their message was clear: mindful moments don’t have to be perfect or profound. They just have to be yours. Whether it’s savoring your coffee, listening to a song, or watching the clouds, these little pauses can change your day—and your outlook.
Why Mindful Moments Matters
This podcast isn’t just about mindfulness—it’s about creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.
“Our lives are so noisy,” Goran shared. “It’s easy to lose sight of what really matters: you.”
Tara added, “We started this podcast because we wanted a place where people could come as they are. No judgment, no pressure, just real conversations about the ups and downs of life.”
The hosts also opened up about their own imperfections, from Goran’s “research” binge-watching cooking shows during a mindfulness challenge to Tara accidentally barking in a yoga class. Their humor and honesty remind us that mental health is messy, real, and totally human.
Laugh, Learn, and Grow
This week’s episode was packed with relatable laughs and powerful lessons. Goran and Tara emphasized that growth doesn’t have to be serious or intimidating—it can be lighthearted and fun.
“Some of the best lessons come from our silliest mistakes,” Goran said, sharing a story about his less-than-enlightening first attempt at journaling, which turned into a rant about Mondays. Tara agreed, saying, “If you’ve ever meditated and ended up daydreaming about tacos, congratulations—you’re human. And you’re doing great.”
A Quick Mental Check-In
The episode also included a guided mental check-in, where Goran and Tara walked listeners through a series of simple steps:
Pause and Breathe: Take a deep breath and notice how it feels.
Tune Into Your Thoughts: What’s on your mind? Acknowledge it without judgment.
Check in with Your Feelings: Name your emotions, whatever they may be.
Gratitude Reset: What’s one thing you’re grateful for today?
Set an Intention: Choose one small, doable goal for the day ahead.
“It’s amazing how much lighter you can feel after just a few minutes of checking in with yourself,” Tara noted.
