When living in survival mode, saying no can be a hard thing to do. There is a fear of being rejected or rejecting someone, of disappointing someone, of losing someone if we do say no. However, when we need to say no and we feel like we can’t, then we may begin resenting the people that we don’t want to disappoint. However, when we approach saying no from an Attentionist mindset, we can reframe the word “no” into a healthier and more positive mindset. Join Mitra as she explains that saying no means having healthy boundaries or respecting ourselves and the people surrounding us. Listen today to discover how to give and receive the word “no” as part of your everyday life.

Do you imagine in fear or in choice?

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.
