Wade Brill: We Have One Mind, One Body, One Life
Episode 27
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026
Wade Brill woke up the Monday we recorded this episode, got a last-minute cancellation, and found herself with unexpected open space in her morning. She didn’t fill it. She went for a walk. That choice — to meet the open space instead of immediately closing it — is the whole philosophy. It sounds simple. It isn’t. She’s been practicing it for a long time. Wade Brill is a mindfulness coach, meditation teacher, certified professional coach, and author of 100 Mindful Moments — a book ten years in the making that she finally published almost a year ago. She trained through UCLA and works with clients to strengthen their mindfulness muscles, gain awareness of what’s meaningful to them, and make more intentional choices from the inside out. In this conversation, Wade takes us into the rupture that changed everything: a cancer diagnosis at 21 while studying abroad in Buenos Aires, and the sudden loss of her mother two months into chemotherapy. It was in that impossible convergence that she found meditation — not as a wellness practice, but as access to herself, and to her life. What emerged was a life philosophy rooted in body intelligence, self-trust, and the radical choice to actually live rather than just get through it. We talk about hurry sickness and why American culture trains us to equate speed with worth, the difference between living from your head versus your body, what it means to have a strong constitution, and why self-trust is the antidote to anxiety. In This Episode: Why mindful living is consistently hard even for those who teach it The decade-long internal battle to publish her book — and what finally shifted Negativity bias, proof in the pudding, and why sharing her work is a marathon not a sprint COVID’s lasting impact on loneliness and connection — and what the statistics actually show How her cancer diagnosis at 21 and her mother’s sudden death became the foundation of her life’s work Why the body holds more wisdom than the mind What meditation gave her access to in the middle of a shit storm The concept of “constitution” — and the mountain within Equanimity as nervous system regulation The overwhelm archetypes quiz — Kathryn is a Spinner, Wade is a Controller Hurry sickness: why we speed up even when we don’t need to Practicing the pause: a tool you can use anywhere, anytime The centered walk as a mindfulness practice Self-trust as the antidote to anxiety Connect with Wade Wade’s book: 100 Mindful Moments Wade’s overwhelm archetype quiz: WadeBrill.com/quiz Wade’s website: WadeBrill.com Wade on Instagram: @OneWade Wade’s podcast: Centered in the City Connect with The Truth Is Instagram: @thetruthispodcast YouTube: @thetruthis_pod Substack: Kathryn Flaschner Credits Hosted by Kathryn Flaschner Production & Editing by Anton LaPlume Music by Will Savino — wsavino.com Visual Identity by Sarah Gainor & Jonathan Bush Advised by Natalie Tulloch
