When viewed through an equity lens, mindfulness helps us connect with others and overcome unconscious biases.

In this episode, Michelle Maldonado encourages us to explore mindfulness not merely as a personal practice, but as a way of being in the world. When viewed from an equity lens, mindfulness becomes a powerful tool for transforming our judgment, unconscious bias and (often unintentional) microaggressions into opportunities for curiosity, introspection, and connection. Today’s topics include moving from judgment to curiosity, cultivating inner awareness to remove blind spots, and how to truly be anti-racist.

Mindfulness and emotional intelligence educator Michelle Maldonado is a former corporate and tech attorney turned CEO of Lucenscia, a global firm dedicated to human flourishing and mindful business transformation. Michelle has worked with the world’s most powerful organizations in the education, industry and government sectors, with the goal of ​​elevating human consciousness and alleviating suffering. Her most recent compassion project "A Bridge to Better" centers on an open letter to humanity. In it, Michelle and her family call on us to courageously co-create the conditions for social and racial justice. This action begins with mindfulness.
