Like many other resources, we have seen that Mindfulness as a philosophy, way of being, and skill set has clear demographic disparities in accessibility. WTFU is a podcast that was created in the hopes of breaking these barriers to bring mindfulness to people of all ages, races, and self-identifications.

Welcome to 2024!On this episode we explore the "aha" moment of not making our minds our enemies. From how we're raised to view and judge ourselves naturally to even the language we sometimes hear on our spiritual paths, making the mind the enemy: putting it in its place or "controlling" it sometimes seems the ultimate goal. So today we work through…
