I have a conversation with Janet Morning Star Archer. Janet is a teacher and student of yoga, mindfulness, meditation and author of An Invitation to Pause. A combination of her mother being diagnosed with Dementia and her training as a Master Life Coach unleashed her passion, supporting women whose parent has dementia find a calm within.
