Today we practice resonate breathing to calm our bodies and minds. By intentionally slowing and deepening our breath we stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, or the rest and digest part of our nervous system. The mind and body are intricately connected and we can use the body as a gateway to changing our state of mind.

This type of breathing can be used any time and any place to reset, balance and calm the nervous system.

After the loss of her mother, Ana Tajder worried that she would start to forget all the beautiful lessons her mother taught her throughout her life. This sparked an idea. What if she were to start a podcast where she interviewed women about all the beautiful lessons they learned from their mothers and about the things they wish their mothers would have taught them.

She wanted to inspire and empower women by finding out:

• What are the 10 most important lessons mothers around the world teach their daughters?

• Which lessons do daughters find especially empowering?

• What do daughters wish their mothers taught them?

• What can we do better?

• How has motherhood changed throughout the history and how is it different among cultures?

After 140 episodes with women from around the world, she is here to share what she has learned. In this beautiful and inspiring episode we bring to light how important our work as mothers is and how our children are learning from us all the time, even after we are gone.



Happy Mother's Day My Dear Friends! You are leaving as lasting legacy to the next generation. celebrate this Mother's Day.

Self Compassion is the ability to be kind and loving toward outselves when we experience set back, faliures and challenges in our lives.

It requires that we become aware of the feelings we are having and why, a recognition that we are not alone in these experiences. We are all part of the human experience. Lastly is requires that we speak to ourselves in kindness, love and compassion.

Research shows that self compassion decreases depression and anxiety, creates a growth mindset, improves our grit and allows us to accept ourselves as we are. When we can recognize and accept our own flaws and shortcomings, it helps us do the same for others, improving our relationships.

Self compassion is a practice. It takes time to make this your default setting. Keep coming back to it over and over and have patience with yourself.

Love To You!

Hey there, friends! Welcome to another episode where my wonderful friend Brittany, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in grief, joins me, for a heartfelt conversation about grief. Together, we're diving deep into this emotional rollercoaster, sharing insights and offering support for anyone dealing with loss.
We kick things off by exploring the concept of ambiguous grief, those losses that don't involve death but still hit us hard. From personal stories to societal pressures, we're unpacking it all and shining a light on the importance of validating these feelings, whether it's navigating parenting challenges or grappling with health issues.
Life's not always sunshine and rainbows, right? We get real about the struggles of staying positive in a world that expects constant happiness. But we also find silver linings, sharing how moments of gratitude can coexist with our grief, offering a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
Transitioning through different life stages can feel like riding a wild wave, especially when it comes to parenthood. Brittany and I share our experiences and tips for finding balance amidst the chaos, because let's face it, adulting is hard, but we're all in this together!
Drawing from Brittany's wealth of knowledge, we dish out practical advice for supporting loved ones through their grief journey. Spoiler alert: it involves lots of listening, empathy, and maybe a box of tissues or two.
As we wrap up, we reflect on the power of naming and acknowledging our grief, finding stability in life's ever-changing tides. And hey, if you need a little extra support, Brittany's got you covered with her blog full of helpful resources.
