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!

What if wellness isn’t about comfort…
but about capacity?
In this episode of Right Here, Right Now, we explore a foundational truth:
The path to wellness is not found in avoiding discomfort, but in learning how to build a relationship with it.
This episode serves as a wellness primer—an introduction to how the mind, body, heart, and soul grow stronger through deliberate, meaningful challenge.
Together, we unpack how:
- Discomfort can become a teacher instead of a threat
- Chosen struggle builds resilience, capacity, and agency
- The nervous system learns through experience, not reassurance
- Wellness is a journey of becoming, not a destination
Explore and Discover:
- Why wellness is built through challenge, not ease
- The difference between suffering (imposed) and struggle (chosen)
- How exposure rewires the brain and reduces fear
- The science of hormesis—how stress makes us stronger
- How the brain learns: “I’ve been here before. I can handle this.”
- Why capacity expands at the edge of discomfort
We'll hear how an Olympic gold medalist turned their suffering into a meaningful struggle and how we can learn and be inspired by her journey!

Be mindful!
