This is not my usual podcast but as it's Christmas, I thought it would be good to talk about peace and calm. Meredith introduced me to meditation at the BlandBadger creative retreat in Italy and I've been making a cack-handed attempt to chill out ever since. As Meredith says, 'Meditation is the best place to get centred and reconnect to ourselves.' And she knows, having changed career, set up a business and moved home five times in six years....'I had overcome a range of challenges,' she admits, 'from depression and anxiety, to battling with self-doubt and perfectionism, making peace with the voice that cries, “not good enough.” It was yoga, meditation and mindfulness that helped her hit the reset button, and now she teaches others how to reconnect to their inner wisdom and find peace and happiness.

In this episode we talk about chilling out, feeling happy and how to stay calm this festive season.
