99. What Happens When You Notice: Willow Older and Deborah Huber

Willow Older and Deborah Huber are the founders of the Today I Noticed mindfulness practice and authors of Today I Noticed: A Little Book of Mindfulness that Will Change the Way You See the World. They also run Today I Noticed workshops for conferences, retreats, and corporations. Willow is a professional writer and editor, and Deborah has spent her career in creative and management roles in the tech industry. Long-time friends Deborah and Willow love hiking the trails of Marin County and imagining themselves swimming in the chilly SF Bay (but know they never will). In this episode, Nada sits down with Willow and Deb to talk about the daily practice of noticing; they call this practice a TIN—(Today I Noticed). They describe TINs as small moments of recognition and connection that, over time, can profoundly impact how we view ourselves and those within our community. The duo tells Nada how their friendship stumbled onto this practice and what led them to begin hosting workshops, coaching, and eventually, authorship.  Check out the Today I Noticed website. Willow recommends adding Yellow Face by R. F. Kuang, The Bee Sting by Paul Murray, and The Expectant Detectives by Kat Ailes to your bookshelf.
