In this episode of The Ripple Effect with Stephanie Romero, EdD, Stephanie sits down with Joseph Croskey to explore how mindfulness can grow from lived experience into a steady practice that supports resilience, presence, and purposeful living. Joseph shares his winding path from military life to contemplative practice and global wellness work through Peace on Purpose, including how inner peace can ripple outward into families, classrooms, and communities. Together, they reflect on a simple but powerful idea, mindfulness creates the space where we can choose a wiser response.
