Today I’m joined by artist and author Meera Lee Patel, whose work centers on self-reflection, emotional awareness, and intentional living. Through her illustrations and writing, Meera helps people ask better questions and develop a deeper relationship with themselves.

Her newest journal, Learn to Let Go, was inspired by her own journey of accepting where you are, embracing change, and finding the courage to release what no longer serves you — which made her the perfect person to help answer today’s listener question.

Dear Evergreen,I’ve been trying to live more mindfully, but part of me feels guilty for letting go of ambition and the pressure to “do more.” How do you find peace with simply being when the world keeps telling you to become more?

In this conversation, we explore:

• Letting go of ambition and redefining what a meaningful life looks like
• The tension between mindful living and productivity culture
• Identity, belonging, and living in alignment with your values
• Developing an authentic voice and expression over time
• Learning to accept where you are while still growing

A thoughtful conversation about prioritizing yourself, listening inward, and creating a life that feels true.
