Awakening With Don

Awakening With Don is a channel centered on recovery, presence, mindfulness, and honest reflection rooted in everyday life.

Through Shorts and brief reflections, I share what I’m learning on the path of recovery and awakening — shaped by my journey from years as a Lutheran pastor, through alcoholism, and into a new way of living grounded in recovery and Buddhist-inspired mindfulness.

My hope is to offer simple tools for navigating life with greater awareness, honesty, and compassion. Whether you are in recovery, exploring mindfulness, or simply trying to stay present in the middle of ordinary life, you are welcome here.

What you’ll find:
• Shorts on reaction vs response
• Recovery and mindfulness insights
• Honest reflections from everyday life

Thank you for being here. Subscribe to follow along on this ongoing journey of presence and awakening.
