Embracing Imperfection: Tianna Soto on Mindfulness and Identity

Perfection, you know, in comparison to what so often like, we are holding ourselves to kind of projected standards, we really lose a sense of focus.
How often do we feel the pressure to be perfect, to maintain a facade of control while paddling furiously beneath the surface? In this episode of TWLOHA's Black and White Miniseries, Chad Moses sits down with Tianna Soto, a writer, wellness educator, and former TWLOHA intern, to discuss the liberating idea that 'We need your presence, not your perfection'. Together, they unpack the concept of 'Duck Syndrome', where individuals appear calm on the outside but are struggling internally.
Tianna, a certified yoga and mindfulness instructor, shares her journey of discovering identity beyond titles and status. She guides listeners through a soothing meditation, emphasizing stillness and body awareness. They also touch on the challenges of starting a mindfulness practice, the often negative impact of social media on mental health, and the power of affirmations and mantras.
Tianna's insights are grounded in her experience as a wellness educator, and she underscores the importance of accepting all parts of ourselves as valid. This episode is a gentle reminder that we don't have to be perfect to be worthy. If you're looking for a conversation that combines practical mindfulness tips with heartfelt advice on self-compassion, this one's for you.
