    44: How to be Present and Live in the Moment

    In today's episode, I want to talk about how we can become more present with ourselves, our relationships, and where we are in life. We may be somewhere physcially, but our mind is always elsewhere. I was recently on a retreat with my husband and I found myself struggling to even enjoy my weekend getaway, because I couldn't stay present. This brought up the question of: when was the last time you were TRULY present? 

    Something to think about and what we are diving into in today's episode.
