This episode might be the theme of why I do everything I do, helping you find balance in loving without grasping too tightly.   If you\u2019ve ever felt the ache of letting go as your child grows up, or the tension between holding on and trusting God\u2014this one\u2019s for you.   Today, I\u2019m sharing a tender meditation on motherhood, rooted in the ancient wisdom of Zen and framed by my own experience raising teenagers\u2014and now watching my 22-year-old prepare to move into his first home he just bought.   We\u2019ll explore:    What Zen  actually  is, and where it intersects with Christian and Latter-day Saint teachings      How to \u201cmother with the end in mind\u201d without missing the beauty of now      What  Fiddler on the Roof, motorcycle maintenance, and motherhood have in common      Why stillness, simplicity, and presence are more powerful than control      And how meditation has helped me heal anxiety and navigate a difficult childhood with grace       Whether you\u2019re a mom, a mentor, or someone in a season of surrender, may this episode offer insights to help you remember that you are not alone in motherhood.   The world may be changing, but the presence of God remains steady\u2014and so can you.   \ud83e\uddd8\u200d\u2640\ufe0f  Be Still: A Summer of Meditation  continues with this short but mighty episode.   \u2013\u2013\u2013   \ud83d\udc8c Subscribe to the podcast newsletter at daniellevaughncoaching.com   \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f Leave a review if today\u2019s episode resonates with you\u2014it helps others find inspiration, too.
