233. Celebrate What You Did Well - Happy Fourth Birthday, Mindful Healers Podcast!

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

It’s a celebration! The Mindful Healers Podcast turns 4, and in this special episode, we take a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate how far we've come. As we mark this milestone, we share the lessons we've learned over the past four years—both from the podcasting journey and from the mindfulness practices we’ve embedded into our work.

It's easy to focus on what we still have to do, but today, we’re intentionally flipping that narrative to notice and celebrate the wins. Recognizing what we’ve done well, both as individuals and as a podcast community, is a practice that can be uncomfortable but so important. In this episode, we model that practice by looking at the growth we’ve experienced: the confidence, creativity, and flexibility that have blossomed through this work.

Key Highlights:

• What We’ve Done Well: This episode reflects on the growth and evolution of the Mindful Healers Podcast. Here are a few things we’re proud of:

• Keeping it fun and engaging for our listeners.

• Making it a collaboration—from our guests to our audience.

• Staying authentic by not following the typical podcast formula.

• Trusting our gut and staying true to our vision.

• Soliciting and embracing feedback to improve.

• Investing in quality audio setups to ensure a smooth listening experience.

• Embedding mindful moments throughout the episodes.

• Ending every episode with reflection questions to deepen the conversation.

• Celebrating Progress Over Perfection: It’s natural to focus on what’s next or what’s still left to be done, but this episode encourages us to celebrate how far we’ve come and acknowledge our successes. That’s a big part of mindfulness—being present and appreciating the progress.

• What Podcasting Has Taught Us: From building confidence to overcoming “compare and despair,” podcasting has been a journey of growth. It’s also helped us become more vulnerable, flexible, and open to making changes. Our journey reflects the power of mindfulness in action.
