Like everything in life, when it comes to developing your Aesthetic Intelligence it's the holistic picture that matters. Tapping into your taste levels is a somatic process that involves the embodiment of your senses and feelings, not just the acquisition of cognitive information.

Today, Pauline Brown invites integrative coach  Joanne Heyman (both part of our tastemaker community) to uncover some of her favorite techniques to remain grounded and attuned to her body.
