Is Mindfulness and Meditation important for kids, and how does that even work with active kids? How does it help with what Heather calls 'The Monkey Mind'?

 In this Episode Heather and I discuss:

  • the moment when her son was born that she thought "I need to show up"
  • how Mindful Meditation for Children helped her son with anxiety and what teaching Meditation to kids looks like
  • why our emotional stuff as parents is reflected back in our kids
  • why it's so important to let go of the guilt and shame as a Mom
  • and why self-care is VITAL for Moms and how to Create a Kick Ass Life
