Your Next Chapter Podcast Episode 25: Sonja Keller – The Benefits of Mastering Mindfulness
“Mindfulness is like turning a light on in a dark room. Once you have, it makes a lot of other things possible”. That’s a quote from Dr Craig Hased that Sonja Keller shares with us in this weeks wholehearted conversation and as we dug down into this simple but powerful concept, I began to more deeply appreciate the impact the practice of Mindfulness can have on all aspects of our business and life.
Sonja has, in her own words, lived a few lifetimes in her career and personal life – chapters galore! She has been a professional violinist, a Music Teacher, worked within the Juvenile Justice System, in Mental Health and Child Protection Services. Her demanding roles saw her seek to understand how to better work with people who were in distressing situations. This led to the discovery of Mindfulness and when she saw the way it helped people become calmer, more resilient and to handle stress much more easily, Sonja was delighted and hooked. She credits the practice with allowing her stay in Child Protection for 10 years when the usual service length is just two.
Sonya now teaches Mindful Living to individuals, entrepreneurs and organisations through her Next Chapter business. In this Episode we explore how to bring Mindfulness into your life, weaving it into your everyday life with ease so you can enjoy the benefits – which are many!
