What if I told you that presence and mindfulness could be the key to overcoming life’s most challenging bumps? Including isolation, a condition that many of us struggle with at one time or another..

Cole Baker-Bagwell found herself profoundly alone when she moved to a remote mountain town. Her isolation devolved into a profound sense of loneliness. She became depressed.

Mindfulness, as Cole describes, became her lifeline. For over 30 years, she had practiced this cognitive skill, which Jon Kabat-Zinn defines as being aware in the present moment without judgment. It was through mindfulness that Cole found the strength to face her depression head-on. She shares her unique approach to dealing with difficult emotions, treating them as members of her personal “council” and engaging with them in a dialogue that fostered understanding and healing.

Cole’s journey back to a happy and functioning life was accompanied by support and understanding of those around her. She made significant changes in her life, effectively rewriting her story.

This conversation is a story about the power of presence, mindfulness, and human connection. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we have the agency to choose how we think and live.

Tune in to hear Cole’s inspiring story and learn how you, too, can harness the power of mindfulness to overcome life’s challenges and embrace a more joyful existence.
