ABOUT the EPISODE:
Birth order has been studied since the early 1900s. Although there are many variables, our birth order connects with personalities. This information is interesting to understanding the dynamics within our family, and it also gives us valuable information on how we respond to the kids in our lives. Join Licensed Professional Counselor, Vanessa De Jesus Guzman, for this real-talk conversation on personal growth, mindful living, and a short meditation.
ABOUT the SHOW:
The Free to Be Mindful podcast provides bite-sized tips for parents, educators and anyone working with kids. These real-talk conversations focus on mindful living, mental health, and personal growth - helping all to learn, grow and inspire with mindfulness in mind.
ABOUT the HOST:
Vanessa De Jesus Guzman is an Educator, Licensed Professional Counselor, Entrepreneur and Mom with almost 20 years of experience working with children, families and educators in the educational and counseling fields combined. Mindfulness is at the forefront of her private practice and speaking engagements, which includes segments on the Today Show.
ABOUT MUSE:
Have you ever tried to practice meditation, but have no idea if it’s working or if you’re doing it right? The Muse headband measures brain waves and provides biofeedback to let you know exactly when you’re in a meditative state. Use this link to earn a 15% discount off of any Muse product.
CATCH THE FREEBIE:
Do you want to decrease the number of times you repeat yourself to your child, and have them listen to you before you lose your cool? You’re in luck!
I have created the “How to Talk to Your Kids Without Losing Your Cool: A Guide for Parents and Educators.” The tips and language I include in this guide have made a world of difference as a teacher and as a parent. It reduces the number of times I repeat myself, which also decreases my level stress and overwhelm. Find it here! www.freetobemindful.com/how-to-talk-to-kids-guide

From the publisher's feed
The Free to Be Mindful Podcast is a weekly mental health podcast for high-achieving women, hosted by licensed therapist, speaker, and Latina mom coach Vanessa De Jesus Guzman, LPC,…
Fifteen honest minutes with someone who actually gets what it's like to build something impressive and still feel like you're disappearing inside it. We get honest about ambition, identity, and the parts of ourselves we've quietly put on hold.
Each episode is unfiltered and grounded in mental health insight, for the woman who's tired of holding it all together and ready to come back to herself. It ends with a short guided reflection, a chance to give yourself permission for the one thing you've been putting off.
It's like a conversation with a friend... who happens to be a therapist.
New episodes drop every week.
