    So what's mindfulness anyway? Part 1 of the Self-Care Series

    In todays episode, I talk about what mindfulness is in a more simplified way, not doing credit for the plethora of literature that defines or describes the experience of mindfulness much better than me!  I also talk about what you can do to practice the skill, and resources to start with.

    Building Resiliency! secure attachment and what it means for us

    What is a secure attachment and why is it important to have one with my children?  Or, what's so important about this when I don't even have children?  I talk about the concept and what it means, as well as what people can do in their lives to cultivate this concept of a secure attachment.  Credit to Dr. Tina Bryson who I took some inspiration from her interview on a podcast you can see on YouTube, as well as the work she has done in the field.  You can find her book at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Showing-Up-Parental-Presence/dp/1524797715/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=tina+bryson&qid=1605493808&sr=8-2
