Getting Real with Mindfulness Ep. 3 - Mindfulness Doesn't Work
Episode 108

Have you ever felt like mindfulness just isn’t working for you? In this episode of 'Getting Real with Mindfulness', Claire Kelly (Oxford Mindfulness) and mindfulness teacher Victoria Fontana dive into what is means for mindfulness to 'work'. They explore why expectations matter, what “working” really means, and how shifting from 'shoulds' to a sense of curiosity and patience can be really helpful for your mindfulness practice - particularly during the holiday season. 🎧 Listen for honest reflections, practical insights, and a few surprising truths about what mindfulness can, and can’t, do. 👥 About the Hosts Claire Kelly is a mindfulness-based mentor and the Director of Teaching and Training at Oxford Mindfulness.
