Summary
In this grounding and expansive episode of Decoding the Flow, Drica Lobo sits down with Mirela Mattos, yoga instructor, wellness and meditation coach, and mother of six, for a deeply embodied conversation on mindfulness, breath, and living in flow.
Mirela shares her personal journey of self-discovery through yoga and meditation, exploring how movement, breath, and presence become tools for navigating life with more awareness and ease. Together, they discuss how resistance can be embraced rather than avoided, how commitment and consistency build confidence, and why creative consciousness begins in the body.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember that every breath is a new beginning. Through practical insights and soulful reflections, Mirela reminds us that mindfulness isn't something we add to life — it's something we return to, moment by moment.
Perfect for anyone seeking grounding, clarity, and a more intentional way of living.
