Mindful Miri Podcast
You’re not just a woman. You’re a force.
Welcome to Mindful Miri—the podcast for women who are raising hell, crafting the lives of their dreams, and doing their best to stay intentional every step of the way.
Hosted by Miriam Burlakovsky, mental health practitioner, mindfulness teacher, and mama who gets it, we dive into raw, real conversations about ambition, gender roles, burnout, body image, boundaries, breaking generational cycles, and more.
It’s where soul meets strategy. Sass meets science. Mindfulness meets making sh*t happen.
And through it all, we’re here to build you up, shatter those ceilings, and remind you: you are not alone.
If you’re done dimming your sparkle and ready to claim your power, your purpose, and your pleasure—this is your space.
✨ Come for the real talk. Stay for the mindful revolution.

Part 2 of The Curvy Surfer Girl, Elizabeth Sneed, on Sizing as Social Justice
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is part 2 of 2 (check out the previous episode for Part 1 with the amazing Elizabeth Sneed!)
This week, we talk size-exclusion as social justice, expanding what you think is possible for yourself, and surfing in Nicaragua this April!
The Curvy Surfer Girl is Elizabeth Sneed. The Curvy Surfer Girl Movement is dedicated to reimagining the last 63 years of exclusive history in women's surfing. Hawaiian surfer, Elizabeth Sneed recognized the need for women to have a community dedicated to surfing that was representative of modern and diverse women athletes.
Elizabeth's personal journey of accepting herself as a plus-size athlete over the last 3.5 years was the catalyst that launched the movement. In the summer of 2020, Elizabeth partnered with a world-class surf photographer of Oahu's South Shore to launch some of the first images of a plus-size female surfer via Instagram.
Curvy Surfer Girl continued to grow as a movement and community through Instagram amassing 24,000 women in nine months, a resounding indication by women worldwide for more and better representation in women's surfing.

✨ Before You Go…
If this episode spoke to you—even in a small way—would you take 10 seconds to share it?
With just one woman. One friend. One person who might need to feel a little less alone in her struggle.
Tell her what resonated for you. Ask what landed for her.
Because when we share what moves us, we create deeper connection—with others and with ourselves.
