Episode 350 - The Healing Power of Slowing Down with Renee Blodgett

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, we explore what happens when the pace of success begins to take more than it gives. Years of being “always on” in a world that rewards doing over being can slowly pull us away from meaning, connection, and the natural rhythms that keep us grounded. What follows is an awakening that often begins not in the noise of achievement but in the quiet moments where we finally stop running.

RENEE BLODGETT

Novelist, curator, journalist, conscious business leader, photographer, humanitarian, and modern mystic, Renee Blodgett has lived multiple lives in one. Having traveled around the world, she has plenty of stories to share, from riding elephants in the Indian jungle, photographing polar bears in northern Canada, teaching English in Kenya, and exploring glaciers in Iceland, to name a few.

Known as a master of storytelling, she has written for magazines, blog networks, the Huffington Post, and her own award-winning online travel magazine, We Blog the World, which has over half a million reach globally. For 12 years, she has been the co-curator of TEDxBerkeley, one of the more prestigious TEDx events in the United States. Renee has worked with the Smithsonian, the United Nations, celebrities, actors, musicians with Grammy Awards under their belt and renowned technology entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, Europe, Australia and Asia, both as agency head of Magic Sauce Media and as founder of Blue Soul Media.

Renee and her partner founded Blue Soul Earth, where they lead retreats and membership programs that focus on heart-centered living, universal consciousness, masculine and feminine balance, and our human existence. Their award-winning and best-selling book, Magdalene’s Journey, incorporates some of these teachings while merging science and spirituality.
