Ep 124 Dr Elise Bialylew - The Science of Mindfulness

Dr Elise Bialylew is the author of #1 bestselling book, The Happiness Plan, and founder of Mindful in May, the world’s largest online global mindfulness fundraising campaign.

I’ve admired Elise’s work for a number of years now and excited to share this conversation with you all. A doctor trained in psychiatry, turned social entrepreneur and mindfulness expert, she’s passionate about supporting individuals and organisations to develop inner tools for greater well-being and flourishing. Her work has been featured in the Huffington Post, New York Times and on Australian Television. She was recognised by the Australian Financial Review in the 2019 AFR Women of Influence.

Before you hear from her let me tell you a bit about Mindful in May. It’s a community and the support you need to incorporate mindful meditation in your day - regardless of how busy you are. It’s a 31 day program, with support from the best teachers in neuroscience and meditation for just 10 minutes per day. You’ll also have the chance to donate to a cause that’s aimed to fix the global water crisis - Elise and this work has raised over $1mil so far.
