https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/7a21cdf6-c3b4-40b8-bde8-b25c00341c1e/transcript

In this episode of The Paul Taylor Podcast, I sit down with Megan Flamer, an entrepreneur and mindfulness, compassion and resilience trainer, for a fascinating exploration of how ancient wisdom meets modern workplace challenges. We delve into why traditional mindfulness approaches sometimes fall short, especially for those who've experienced trauma, and discover how integrating multiple therapeutic modalities—from psychedelic therapy to EMDR—can create more effective healing pathways. Megan shares her unique insights from Silicon Valley and reveals how organisations can move beyond basic mindfulness programming to create lasting cultural change. Whether you're battling workplace burnout, seeking practical tools for self-awareness, or curious about how philosophical traditions like Stoicism can transform modern leadership, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on bringing contemplative practices into the 21st-century workplace.

Key Topics:


Professional Background and Silicon Valley Experience


Limitations of Traditional Mindfulness Approaches


Psychedelic Therapy and Mindfulness Integration


Innovation and Contemplative Studies in Business


Modern Applications of Ancient Wisdom


Practical Burnout Prevention and Workplace Wellness


Beyond Traditional Mindfulness Programming


Organisational Implementation and Resources

Key Takeaways:


Supplement traditional mindfulness practices with other therapeutic approaches (like EMDR or tapping) to build a more comprehensive personal wellness strategy.


Study both ancient wisdom traditions and modern research to create a personalized practice that combines time-tested principles with contemporary scientific insights.


Set up regular self-check-ins to catch signs of burnout before they escalate by tracking your energy levels, sleep quality, and emotional state.


Transform meditation concepts into concrete daily habits by identifying specific moments in your workday where you can apply mindful practices.


Track and measure the business impact of your mindfulness practice by noting improvements in productivity, decision-making, and team relationships.


Keep a daily log of your triggers, reactions, and interaction patterns to build greater self-awareness and improve workplace relationships.


Help normalize mindfulness in your workplace by sharing specific examples of how contemplative practices have improved your work performance.


Read one classic philosophical text (particularly from Stoicism) each quarter and extract practical applications for your current work challenges.
