028 Dina Kaplan | From Hyper Successful tech startup to Burnout & the Power of Mindfulness

Dina seemed to have it all. She was co-founder & COO of a hyper successful tech startup, she was winning emmy awards as a tv news reporter & has was named one of Fortune Magazine’s Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs and Fast Company’s Most Influential Women of Web 2.0   That was until panic attacks and emotional turmoil left her literally unable to go to the office.    In her journey of healing, she discovered meditation and went on to teach others the life-changing practises which have transformed her world via her company, The Path.   If you’ve listened to our conversations with Henry Shukman (ep027) or Jai Kith (ep003), you will have learnt that the benefits of meditation are accessible and achievable regardless of your spiritual or religious beliefs. It’s a teaching which deepens your connection with what is and enhances your awareness of anxiety and ability to overcome stress.   We discuss what meditation actually is, what it can look like and how it can be used as a tool to literally change our brains, experience deeper connection & live more purposefully.   And we also explore how meditation has helped Dina specifically in overcoming her primary trigger of not being heard and her unconscious bias to always try and please others.   If you know anyone who wants to succeed in life but struggles to make the right choices at the right times because of their negative emotions, limiting beliefs or childhood experiences, then send them this conversation so they can be mentored by Dina Kaplan.   Enjoy!   Ps.
