Storytelling, Mindfulness and Connection

In this episode of the Soulfull Sound podcast, I’m joined by the wonderful Calvin Niles who is a passionate communicator and mindful living coach making a positive impact on the lives of leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches and wider society through his services and products.

In our conversation Calvin speaks about the power of mindfulness and how you can start developing a mindful practice. He shares how he integrates mindfulness and storytelling to help people impact the world.

"Mindfulness is purely and simply being aware - now." 

He also speaks about the importance of telling your story, offers tips on how you can figure out what your story is and how to tell it well. He shares the depth of what discovering your story through mindfulness can actually do for you - helping you to reframe positively and let go of things that no longer serve you. This step can then lead to your story becoming the vehicle for your mission, message and your impact in the world.

Don't miss this fun, inspiring episode where you can witness the conversations I often have with my brother!
