The Practice of Being, Not Just Doing: Beyond Physical Reps with Rubina Chadha

Описание: You can be physically ready for anything. But if your inner game isn't trained, you're leaving everything on the table. I learned that the hard way competing in CrossFit — and my guest today, Rubina Chadha, teaches the exact tools I wish I'd had back then.

Rubina is a mindfulness educator and trauma-informed coach who helps burned out founders stop coping and start building a system for their nervous system. In this conversation we cover:
Why presence is a practice, not a personality trait
The difference between mindset work and embodied regulation — and why one without the other has a ceiling
What your five-year-old self can teach you about recovering from stress
How to find your reset button without leaving your desk
Why structure and intuition aren't opposites — they fuel each other
The role of creativity and art in accessing a calmer, clearer state
Her take on AI and art — and why she thinks everyone should be creating
