Feeling overwhelmed by the endless demands of entrepreneurship? Yearning for a practice that quiets your racing mind without requiring another thing on your to-do list? This episode introduces a centuries-old contemplative practice that's surprisingly perfect for modern businesswomen.

I'm joined by Natasha Morisawa, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in mindfulness approaches, trauma healing, and labyrinth facilitation. We dive into the fascinating world of labyrinth walking—not as some esoteric spiritual practice, but as a practical, accessible way to restore balance to an overwhelmed entrepreneurial mind.

Natasha clarifies the crucial difference between mazes (designed to confuse) and labyrinths (designed to center), explaining how the sacred geometry found in labyrinth patterns works with our neurobiology to calm our nervous systems. She shares her personal journey to labyrinth walking during her father's illness, when her usual meditation practice stopped working and she needed something more embodied. For female entrepreneurs specifically, labyrinth walking offers a rare gift: a space where you can temporarily stop making decisions and simply follow the path, allowing your intuition—often drowned out by the noise of business demands—to resurface.

What makes this practice especially valuable is its accessibility. Whether through physical labyrinths in your community (findable through labyrinthlocator.com), portable canvas versions, finger labyrinths you can print at home, or even digital apps, this contemplative practice can fit into your life regardless of location or time constraints. Ready to discover how walking in circles might be exactly what your business—and your wellbeing—needs right now? Listen, subscribe, and let us know how labyrinth walking works for you!
