Have you ever noticed yourself repeating the same unhelpful patterns… even when part of you knows they’re not good for you?

Maybe it’s overthinking.

People pleasing.

Shutting down.

Overworking.

Avoiding difficult emotions.

Or getting caught in the same emotional loops again and again.

In this episode, Melli explores what some people call “shadow work” but through a gentle, mindfulness-based lens.

She shares a simple 3-step self-awareness practice to help you recognise the unconscious patterns that may be creating stress and suffering in your life, and how to begin shifting from reacting unconsciously… to living with more awareness, honesty and inner freedom.

This episode explores:

• Why self-awareness is such an important part of mindful living

• How avoidance and unconscious habits quietly shape our lives

• The hidden patterns underneath overworking, people pleasing, distraction and reactivity

• A simple mindfulness-based practice for recognising and transforming unconscious patterns

• How greater self-awareness can help us live with more peace, courage and compassion
