About this episode

Where my girls at who have a hard time sitting still? You with me? Meditation can feel so difficult... because it is haha

In today's episode, I'm sharing WHY meditation & mindfulness have become essential parts of my morning & daily routines to support me in managing stress, anxiety & feeling more peace & calm within myself.
