Do you find yourself caught up in the busyness of life? Kathryn McCusker and I talk about navigating busyness, overwhelm and the pressure to constantly be ON. Kathryn opens up about the challenges of balancing a career, motherhood, social life and just being an adult with all sorts of responsibilities. I appreciate her honestly and openness and hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Let’s go on a walk together. And not just any old walk...a mindful walk. A walking meditation is a fantastic way to connect the body and mind while you’re on the go. Whether you hate sitting still to meditate or you simply don’t have the time to sit still this is a great alternative that still cultivates present moment awareness.

This episode was inspired by the widely known study ‘A Wandering Mind is an Unhappy Mind’ (check out the study below). Let’s slow down, focus the mind, and connect back to the present moment.
