040: Mindfulness for Modern Families

2018-10-02 Mama Minimalist

“As I began meditating + getting more grounded, I wasn’t reacting as much to the kids’ upsets. I was being a bit more present for their questions + concerns, too.”

If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a thousand times:

When it comes to intentional living, adopting a mindfulness practice is the singlemost powerful habit we can foster.

This week, I’m thrilled to offer two unique perspectives on the link between intention + mindfulness:

– First, Buddhist + meditation expert Kim Fuller. Kim reveals the details about what exactly mindfulness is + why it’s so darn important.

– Second, Tara Dubiel. Tara’s a busy mom who’s passionate about simplifying parenthood. I ask Tara the practical questions, like How. On. Earth. overstretched parents can find the time to get incrementally mindful.

I can’t wait for you to meet Kim + Tara. Enjoy!
