In a world that often measures our worth by our professional achievements, it's crucial to recognize that our value extends far beyond our careers. I gathered with community in Brooklyn, New York for this live podcast panel discussion around our current digital age, productivity, and well-being.
We discussed who we are outside of what we do. How can we ensure that we are holistic individuals who love ourselves and others regardless of our productivity and job titles? What practices can help us grow in other areas outside the workspace, and how can we remain happy and proud of ourselves even in seasons where we are not outwardly "winning"?
This event was a much-needed reminder that NONE OF US ARE ALONE in society, as isolated as we may feel or be. Societal norms around work can make us feel worthless — remember that you are enough simply because you are. Nothing else, just being.
Moderators: Prerna Manchanda & Pennie Anassi
Panelists: Jaconna Jacobs, Julius Stukes Jr, Anthony Duncan, & Liz Beecroft

I am a huge advocate for silence.
I know that transformation happens when we are still: we let ourselves move from doing to being, and we make space. Practicing silence helps us be more grounded, mindful, and present.
However, this practice of silence is not the end-goal in all spaces. In many spaces, we actually need to be speaking up more, especially against injustices.
In this episode we’ll break down learning one’s proximity to power, when and how to use your voice, the importance of silence, and more.

Welcome! This series introduces listeners to what meditation is and how to practice. And if you’re not a meditation beginner, it’s also a great way to re-ignite your practice in the new year.
For each week of January, we’ll review a different foundational topic followed by an introductory guided practice (but you don’t have to do them in order!).
Today we'll discuss:
Why is it important to focus on body? How the body helps us get to know ourselves in a deep and intimate wayIt’s an intimate gift to tune into the bodyThis is a body scan meditation and can be done lying down as well!And this practice can be used to help you fall asleep :)You can always find more about meditation on the podcast, on the blog at https://www.technicallyspiritual.com/blog, and for business or team leaders who want to boost productivity and happiness on their teams, visit https://www.technicallyspiritual.com/corporate-services to learn about our mindfulness programming.
Meditation and mindfulness is about so much more than just the moments you do something like listen to this episode. It’s a practice that takes times to integrate, to explore, to address emotional challenges, and fold into our daily lives. I’m so glad you’re starting (or continuing) here with me.

Your voice is your first inheritance. Words are the vibrations that alchemize our thoughts, self, and expression into the physical, shared world. By becoming more mindful about our thoughts, our intention, and how our voice is the first outward expression of our inner selves, we quite literally change the way we exist physically in this world. And, we become more confident because we practice trusting the communication between our mind and our body. We talk about all this and more with world-renowned TedX speaker and founder of MindBodySpeak, Marshall Davis Jones.

Is a consumer-focused “zero waste lifestyle” the solution to environmental destruction? No… and yes. In this episode, Prerna interviews Anne-Marie Bonneau, sustainability activist and author of The Zero Waste Chef about environmental justice, realistic sustainability goals, and activist mental health.
The two discuss who is truly responsible for saving the planet, and how corporations across industries (like Big Food AND Big Tech) have the same tendency to divert responsibility for collective well-being.
