Summary: Mindfulness Made Simple: Dorsey's Talk Transforms Burnout into Breakthrough
Dorsey Standish delivered a transformative talk on mindfulness that was both accessible and science-backed. Her personal burnout story resonated deeply as she reminded us "you can start small, even one minute a day." The audience particularly appreciated how she made mindfulness "plug and play," removing excuses and showing that "there's an app for that but you don't need it."
Presentation Outcomes Achieved:
Mindfulness can be practiced in just one minute a day - small steps make a significant impact
There is no "right way" to practice mindfulness - removing this barrier makes it accessible to everyone
How attendees describe this talk
I would say she is inspiring, and relatable. Her story at the very beginning with burnout was impactful. It was nice knowing that she’s invested years into this practice and she is well aware on the research mindfulness can have on the brain.
Drigo Ortiz
This was a great session to remind me to slowdown and check in on me! We get so busy worrying about others and giving, that we forget to take care of the most important resource.
Liz
I enjoyed learning the science behind why mindfulness is so important, and some easy tips for how I can implement it in my day.
Erin Omar
This was amazing. Very intentional and grounding. I struggle from anxiety and depression and this hit home so much. Thank you
Attendee
Great ways of establishing a mindfulness habit, I like how plug and play she makes it. Removing excuses and impediments.
Gunnar
I would tell them that this session was a great moment to reconnect with myself and to remind myself that everyone needs a break. That our brains are one of our most important muscles and that we need to be more aware in caring for it. So taking a minute or two to be mindful can go a long way.
Brooke Patton
Highlights the importance of taking time, and care, of yourself, not just everyone around you, which I think women in particular struggle with. I enjoyed the burnout story, as it is something we can all relate to and can see the downside of, but often ignore until it is too late.
Attendee
The speaker’s experiences and knowledge as a neuroscientist are extremely valuable and relevant in a time where it’s hard to be mindful. It’s a reminder to embrace our existence without feeling we owe productivity and embrace our humanness.
Rubi Hernandez
You DO actually have 1 minutes a day to do some mindfulness exercises and it all comes in different forms, breathing, mantras etc. You can or you can't-- ford quote. You either can of can't do something.

Discuss what to do during panic attacks when meditation becomes obsessive and not an anxiety relief but a burden

I’m curious how my perimenopause brain will be helped with these practices.
