    1: Burnt Bagel Magic

    Welcome my friends! This first episode of qWeird Magics illuminates the magic of the burnt bagel. Inspired by your host's lifelong struggle with burning bagels, this episode explores the magic found in that particular frustrating experience over the years. Containing lessons about self-compassion, mindfulness, and habit changing, Burnt Bagel Magic is a window into the practice of experiencing qWeird Magics starting with our first actions of the morning. I am so thrilled to be embarking on this journey with you all. I hope you enjoy the episode and please share, comment, review etc. I look forward to hearing your feedback!
