Right Here! Right Now!
RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! is a brand new podcast where we remind you that being present and mindful in each of our moments is the only way to truly be able to learn. And from LEARNING comes GROWTH! A true transformation into our most authentic selves. The mindset is that we must be present and looking for the lesson in what we are experiencing - day to day; moment to moment. And one of the primary purposes of learning and growth is to take us to places we did not think were possible and to prepare us for a challenge that will make us better human beings; or the lives of our families better; even to help our colleagues and those in our charge better. Sometimes the challenges are known - so many times the challenges are a bit of a surprise. As long as we see the challenge as an opportunity, we will learn from them and carry on to better places down a path lined with lessons and teachings. We recognize in this philosophy that we have the capacity - even the responsibility - to begin again - and your NEW beginning starts RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!

Welcome back to Right Here! Right Now! I’m your host, Michael Scicchitano, and today we’re diving deep into a fascinating and transformative topic: paradoxes—those seemingly contradictory truths that challenge our instincts and reveal deeper wisdom upon closer reflection.
In this episode, we’ll explore how embracing life’s paradoxes can profoundly shift how we approach challenges, manage emotional pain, and navigate the complexity of human experience. From accepting pain to finding strength in vulnerability, and from slowing down to achieve more to seeing grief as love in disguise, these counterintuitive insights offer powerful tools for mindful living.
We’ll reflect on:
- How accepting pain invites healing rather than intensifying it.
- The paradox of letting go of control to gain control in uncertain moments.
- Why fear and courage coexist, and how fear creates opportunities for bravery.
- The strength found in vulnerability and authentic connection.
- Embracing uncertainty as a path to peace.
- Why focusing on others can help us heal even when we feel we can’t.
- The insight that mindfulness is about awareness, not immediate calm.
- The transformative power of slowing down to achieve more.
- Grief as a reflection of love: “Grief is love in disguise.”
Join me in this 2 part series as we uncover how these paradoxes can unlock new ways of thinking, bring healing, and help us grow into our most authentic selves. Along the way, we’ll share perspectives from philosophy, science, and mindfulness practices to inspire fresh approaches to life’s toughest challenges.
