Blanka Falk sits down with Rita Desnoyers-Garcia to explore the power of self-compassion and mindfulness in transforming family dynamics. Rita has helped people reach their potential for over 30 years. With a BA in Psychology from Holy Cross and an MSSW from Columbia, she worked as a social worker in NYC before a spiritual transformation led her to become a teacher, speaker, and life coach for stressed professional moms. She is the author of "Extraordinary Abundance", "Outside of the Box Love Experiments", and "The Self-Compassion Project" and creator of "The Forest Meditations".
