In this brief conversation, Mona Sharma reflects on the power of truly acknowledging one’s authentic needs rather than conforming to external expectations. She highlights how this realization creates a deep sense of relaxation and excitement, especially in the context of an upcoming biohacking conference where a speaker will discuss these themes. Sharma expands the discussion to critique the common view of mindfulness as a formal, isolated practice, arguing that mindfulness should be an ongoing, everyday awareness—simply noticing when familiar patterns or needs arise and inquiring into their origins. The dialogue underscores the relevance of mindful self‑inquiry for both men and women seeking genuine well‑being, especially within the biohacking community.

And it creates this relaxation because, like, oh my gosh, I just finally acknowledged what I really need instead of needing what I'm supposed to need instead of what I actually need. So I'm pretty excited for her talk at the biohacking.
Conference, and I will be there to see her speak. And that's such a great point, because I think as women and men, we're constantly looking for things or modalities or things to add in. And we think about mindfulness as, like, this practice. But, like, no, being mindful sometimes. That's it. Just be mindful of, oh, here it is again. Maybe do some inquiry as to where it came from within.
