I think that autonomy is crucial. Autonomy is the foundation of intimacy. We can't be connected with others if we don't feel that we're coming from a kind of an internalized, secure base inside ourselves. And without mindfulness... We lack autonomy.
We're pushed around by this or that, including the internalized impact of life experiences going all the way back to early childhood that we don't even remember. Those forces are like strings pulling us as a puppet. With mindfulness, snip, snip, snip, we start cutting those strings and we become more and more our own person, at home, in ourselves, in charge of ourselves.
Welcome to passion struck. Hi, I'm your host, John R. Miles. And on the show, we decipher the secrets, tips and guidance of the world's most inspiring people and turn their wisdom into practical advice for you and those around you. Our mission is to help you unlock the power of intentionality so that you can become the best version of yourself.
If you're new to the show, I offer advice and answer listener questions on Fridays. We have long form interviews the rest of the week with guests ranging from astronauts to authors, CEOs, creators, innovators, scientists, military leaders, visionaries, and athletes. Now, let's go out there and become passion struck. Hey, Passion Strike fam. Welcome back to episode 559.

Before diving in to today's episode, let's take a moment to reflect on the game-changing insights from last week. On Tuesday, Max Lugavere shared his powerful journey from personal tragedy to becoming a leading voice in brain health and nutrition. We explored actionable steps for cognitive well-being and how the choices we make today shape our brain health tomorrow.
On Thursday, I sat down with Esther Dyson to discuss how technology is shaping human connection and how we can reclaim our humanity in an increasingly digital world. Esther's perspective on systems change and fostering meaningful relationships in the digital age was truly transformative.
And then in my solo episode, I explored how a sense of hope helps us feel like we matter to ourselves, to others, and to the world. If you're looking to build on these insights, our episode starter packs are here to guide you.
