Today, I’m joined by Bob Martin, a former mob lawyer turned mindfulness and spiritual guide, to discuss how to go with the flow while staying focused on your long-term health goals.

We explore why self-advocacy is crucial, how to balance flexibility with personal priorities, and practical strategies to stop being pulled in directions you don’t want to go.

Bob’s unique blend of brain science, spirituality, and psychology offers powerful insights for anyone looking to communicate their needs and create alignment in their lives.

Bob Martin’s journey from a mob lawyer in the turbulent Miami days of the Cocaine Cowboy era to a devoted mindfulness and spiritual guide is a powerful testament to transformation. Guided by Taoist Master Hua Ching Ni, Bob embraced a life of self-discovery, leading to his current role as Professor of Wellness and Mindfulness Coordinator at Elon University. With over 40 years of experience as a criminal trial lawyer and a certified Meditation teacher, Bob blends brain science, psychology, and spirituality to help others break free from limiting beliefs and cycles of suffering. His popular online meditation classes and latest book reflect his lifelong commitment to unity, compassion, and liberation.Learn more at:https://awiseandhappylife.com
