In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Will Schneider and Jon Macaskill, co-hosts of Men Talking Mindfulness, to explore how mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork can help men navigate anxiety, stress, and the constant distractions of modern life. Drawing from their diverse backgrounds—Will as a meditation teacher and former actor, and Jon as a former Navy SEAL commander—they share their personal journeys into mindfulness and how these practices transformed their relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being. The conversation unpacks the differences between mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork, while offering practical tools for regulating the nervous system, reducing reactivity, and creating more space between stimulus and response. They also discuss the impact of technology on attention, the importance of intentional daily habits, and why consistency and community are essential for lasting change.
