Where Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science Meet with Therapist Coco Plank

I'm joined by friend and fellow podcaster, Courtney Plank, also known as Coco. Coco is the founder of Coco Plank Therapy, where she draws on Buddhist Psychology and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to help clients break free from unhelpful patterns and create lives filled with purpose and connection.Through the lens of Buddhism and Yoga Philosophy, we reflect on how these traditions offer timeless ways of reconnecting to ourselves, our communities, and our true nature.Some of the themes we cover include:The parallels between Buddhism’s Four Noble Truths & Eightfold Path and Yoga’s Eight LimbsHow neuroscience supports the Buddhist practice of observing and fact-checking our thoughtsThe rituals and practices that keep us grounded and steady on the pathReclaiming forgotten wisdom traditions for modern lifeBalancing self-inquiry (through meditation, therapy, and reflection) with outward actionThe role of podcasting as both a practice and a pathway to deeper connectionHow nurturing creativity reminds us that every human is creativeHow to live more heart-centered and communicate in ways that foster real connectionUltimately, this episode is about remembering our shared longing: to connect more deeply- with ourselves, with each other, and with the world around us.----------------------------------------------------------------------------Loving the podcast?
