As you head towards 30 you're probably hoping to have everything figured out. 

A good career? a partner? a dog? maybe a mortgage? 

But then (for some us) the universe throws us a curveball, cue your Saturn Return.

Saturn Returns between the ages of 27 and 31. It's a cosmic exit from your current circumstance into new and hopefully better life. But unfortunately, it comes at a cost. 

On this episode Allira is joined by Bridget Hustwaite, Broadcaster, Author and Health Advocate to talk about what happened when Saturn returned in her life.

Mindfulness practises can feel like a chore. Pulling out an app, or putting on a mediation is time consuming. 

But it doesn't have to be. 

Today Allira gives the floor to Psychologist Chris Cheers. He shares with us how we can find mindfulness in the small things: listening to music, walking to work and showering.

He guides us through an activity that you can do everyday with just three minutes spare that'll bring you back to the present.
