Catching Z's: The Millennials Guide to Mindfulness

I left this interview feeling more connected to the world and felt like I had traveled around the world as well. Mag is a magnificent storyteller and has made traveling a center piece to her life and marrying those two things is wonderful to experience. We chat about:

• How she got the travel bug at 11 years old when she lived in Italy for 3 years
• Why she started journaling as an outlet from her difficult upbringing
• Feeling at home in many places abroad
• What travel allowed her to find out about herself
• How connection is important for what she feels makes a place feel like home
• Innate traits that we all possess as humans that she discovered in travel
• The importance of journaling in her adventures
• Common themes that arose in her journaling showing what she values in experiences
• The impact that her grandmother had on her instilling compassion in her
• Translating her journals to the book that she wrote, “Bowing to Elephants”
• How a moving experience with Elephants led to the title of her book
• Getting into meditation later in life after a masseuse advised her to
• How to forgive deeply and how she forgave her mother
• Her favorite food and country around the world
• Loving Kindness meditation to conclude!
