Transformational coach Arlene Miller opens up about her remarkable journey from high-pressure attorney to mindfulness expert in this captivating conversation about authentic work-life harmony. After decades practicing law while raising a family, Arlene shares the moment she recognized her burnout wasn't just fatigue—it was a call to completely reimagine her relationship with herself and her career.
The discussion quickly moves beyond standard self-care advice into practical techniques anyone can implement immediately. Arlene introduces simple yet powerful breathwork practices that physiologically shift your nervous system from stress to calm without requiring extra time in your day. "We forget to breathe," she notes, explaining how this foundational practice creates space for deeper transformation.
Most compelling is Arlene's framework for breaking free from self-judgment—what she calls the hamster wheel of negativity. Rather than promoting quick fixes, she advocates for consistent awareness, explaining how recognizing our inner critic allows us to embrace our role as our own inner coach instead. This perspective shift transforms how we approach challenges, setbacks, and even past wounds, creating pathways for genuine healing and growth.
The conversation takes an unexpected turn when exploring boundaries, with Arlene challenging conventional wisdom about how we protect our energy. "We set our boundaries based on how the other person is," she explains, offering a refreshing perspective on maintaining strong boundaries even with those closest to us. This approach allows us to share love from our overflow rather than depleting ourselves by absorbing others' negative emotions.
Whether you're facing burnout, struggling with self-criticism, or seeking more authentic connections, Arlene's insights provide a roadmap for creating meaningful change through self-awareness, intentional breathing, and unconditional self-love.
