Yippee!

Yippee is my immediate reaction when Shaun weekly releases a new Mindfulness for Beginners podcast. They are relevant, intelligent, humorous and immensely helpful. There are no other mindfulness podcasts out there today that are as well done, genuine and helpful as Shaun’s. Thank you!

Love

Always helping me slow down, pause, and center myself. Excellent work ❤️

I love this

I love this man’s calming Irish lilt, his reasoning through a podcast introduction of a subject, and then his gentle way of leading us beginners through a short meditation. Love the shift in perspective I feel as I listen and practice meditating. I will always keep listening. Thank you for taking the time to do this podcast, Shaun!
