The Art of Paying Attention

from The Courage to Live a Big Life · host Susie deVille

What if the answer to feeling constantly overwhelmed isn't doing more, but noticing more?  Join me this week on The Courage to Live a Big Life as I share my story of going from "an astronaut caught outside the mothership, tethered and being drug through time and space" to finding myself again through the simple act of paying attention. Though outwardly successful, my relentless "do more, be more" mindset left me numb and disconnected—until three peaches and a sketchbook changed everything. Discover how the healing art of deep noticing can transform your everyday experience, no matter where you are. I share practical wisdom from my book, BUOYANT, on how to engage your senses, slow down, and rediscover wonder in ordinary moments—from morning sunlight on building facades to the laughter of a child.  This conversation isn't just about mindfulness—it's about reclaiming the rich, immersive life that's always available when we simply pause long enough to notice it.
