🌿 Tend to the Part of the Garden You Can Touch
Episode 2 – Daily Practice with Benita

What if your healing could begin with just one breath?

In this episode, we explore the wisdom of Jack Kornfield’s reminder to “tend to the part of the garden you can touch”—a deeply grounding principle for staying centered in a world that often feels chaotic, overwhelming, and out of reach.

You’ll learn how small, embodied practices can regulate your nervous system, restore inner peace, and gently shift your energy from survival into presence.

✨ Inside this episode:
• Simple breathwork and somatic practices to calm your body
• How social media + the news hijack your nervous system
• Why external chaos often mirrors internal disconnection
• The neuroscience of mindfulness: calming the amygdala, activating the prefrontal cortex
• Letting go of urgency + saviorism through grounded self-responsibility
• Tiny daily rituals that create lasting, embodied change
• The power of digital detox to reconnect with real life
• Why tending your own inner world creates ripple effects

Whether you're navigating burnout, anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed by the state of things, this is your gentle call back to center.
