Coffee Cup Mindfulness
Coffee Cup Mindfulness is a daily 3–5 minute podcast hosted by therapist and educator Chris Neal — designed to help you start every morning with nervous system regulation, grounded presence, and the emotional clarity to show up fully for your relationships and your life.
Each weekday: one small concept. One intentional sip of calm before the noise finds you.
No meditation cushion. No spiritual background required. Just practical, therapist-backed morning motivation rooted in real mindfulness science — built for the person who wants to lead better, communicate more clearly, and stop letting mornings set the wrong tone.
What you'll find here:
👉 Daily grounding techniques you can use in under 5 minutes
👉 Core concepts in emotional regulation and mindful awareness
👉 Practical tools for mindful communication and relationship health
👉 A consistent morning anchor for your nervous system — before the world rushes in
New episodes every weekday morning.
