Conversations through curiosity, creativity & connection.
Welcome to Miles to Zen, a podcast that celebrates life’s delightful twists and turns, no matter where you are on your journey. I’m your host, Shannon Miles Halliday, a follower of curiosity, a mom, a wife, a former corporate executive, a creator and a connector. This show is your companion for navigating the beautifully messy adventure of life. Each episode invites you into heartfelt, inspiring, and expansive conversations, diving into topics like self trust, big moments and big decisions, navigating day jobs and finding purpose, and how can we thrive. You’ll feel uplifted and even enlightened each week as we share stories, and insights that spark your own ideas as well as conversations that offer completely new perspectives.
In this episode of the Miles to Zen podcast, we explore what it really means to bring something into the room, whether that room is a boardroom, a dinner party, a soccer pitch, or a moment in your everyday life.
Fresh off delivering my What You Bring Into the Room: The Human Side of Business Development workshop, and with FIFA energy buzzing through Vancouver, we look at presence through the lens of sport. From soccer players who reset instantly, to Roger Federer’s “every point” mindset, to the magic of team energy in volleyball and the joy‑first approach of an NHL player — the greats all have one thing in common: they let go quickly and they stay connected to fun.
We also explore the mirror theory, the NAC method (Notice, Accept, Choose Again), and the invisible backpack we all carry into every room. This episode is an invitation to become more aware of your silent signals and more intentional about the energy you bring into your life.
If you enjoy this episode, please follow, share, or send it to someone who might need it today. And as Ted Lasso says… be a goldfish.
