Working With a Brain That Doesn't Behave | Jeff Warren

Ever feel like your mind is constantly bouncing around? You're not alone. In this episode, DJ Cashmere sits down with meditation teacher Jeff Warren, who has spent decades exploring consciousness, neurodivergence, and the practical side of meditation. Jeff shares his own experience with ADHD, bipolarity, and the ups and downs of life, offering tools and insights that listeners can use immediately.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • How to create a "home base" in meditation—an anchor to return to when your mind or emotions are scattered.

  • Practical ways to use meditation to regulate emotions and respond skillfully in stressful situations.

  • How to cultivate creativity and focus, even if your brain works differently from others.

  • The difference between accepting the present moment and passively giving in to circumstances.

  • Tips for parents and neurodivergent listeners on integrating mindfulness into daily life.

Jeff also shares his journey from journalist to meditation teacher, and how a serious head injury changed his relationship to his own mind. Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this episode is full of practical insights for staying grounded, centered, and creative in a chaotic world.

Jeff Warren is a meditation teacher, author, and consciousness researcher who has written extensively on the science and practice of mindfulness. Known for his humor, curiosity, and practical approach, Jeff guides listeners to discover their own "home base" and explore the mind as a creative medium.
