Do you have a problem asking for help? We are encouraged and even praised for our independence, but our nature is to be interconnected. In order to be balanced, we need to both give and receive. When we are stuck in survival mode, we either do not trust that another person can truly help us or we don't believe we are worthy of being helped. Join Mitra as she explores and examines the feelings behind our hesitance to ask for help. Listen today to learn how to replace your survivalist, fearful beliefs with healthy beliefs in order to mindfully ask and receive help.

The Disease of Perfectionism

What would happen if a book could speak — and you could speak back? 

The Attentionist podcast brings the words of the book The Attentionist to life — one passage, one conversation, one moment of awareness at a time.

In each episode, host Mitra Manesh and her co-host Carlota Santamaria read and explore a section of the book as it relates to the texture of everyday life — the choices we make, the patterns we repeat, the moments where attention either slips away or comes home. Sometimes a reader joins the conversation as a guest — invited or self-selected — bringing their own experience of the words into the room.

The result is not a book review. It is a living dialogue between a teaching and the people it is teaching.

The Attentionist asks one question: what is your attention creating — and is that the life you meant to live?
This podcast is where that question breathes and unfolds.
