The Daily Reconnect

StereoForest

Feeling disconnected because the world keeps shifting under your feet? The Daily Reconnect is a weekday micro-podcast that helps you come back to the moment using guided relaxation exercises. In about five minutes, you'll reset your nervous system using your own natural breathing, body-based, visualization, and sensory exercises. This is so you're grounded enough to keep going. So you're ready to show up for what matters and continue. Style wise: expect clean, simple language. This is not spiritual, and not like a yoga class. Host: Jen deHaan. Hosted by a human. Jen is the founder of StereoForest. With a background of 10 years in improv, fitness instruction, and performance, Jen brings her voice to you each day. Jen completed the Developing Healthy Communities graduate program at Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.  This podcast is written, hosted, edited and produced by a human, Jen deHaan. This show is written, recorded, and fully produced in Canada. Disclaimer: Educational content. Not medical advice.

    Monday Motivation: Grassroots Resistance

    Mondays are now Monday Motivation. What?! The podcast is reorganizing a bit, while "being the same thing." On Mondays I will share a message to help stay motivated to fight the good fight. Wednesday will offer an episode recorded in nature to help ground you. And Friday will offer an opportunity to reflect to help you reconnect with reality. So, today for Monday Motivation, we explore the space between recognition of a problem, and action. That space is where many of us might find ourselves today.
