In today's podcast episode I reflect on my take-aways from the changes and transitions of the past year. I will share four tips for mindfulness in challenging times, along with some uplifting stories and lessons I've learned along the way.

This isn't a "new year, new you" podcast episode - instead, I hope it will offer some companionship for any time you find yourself immersed in a tough experience, or emerging from a difficult cycle in your life.

You'll hear a story about how a butterfly once drew me out of a stuck place and helped to open my perspective. And, I talk about navigating some past experiences like having my business partner pass away shortly after the grand opening of our yoga studio in 2016.

Tips for Mindfulness I talk about in this episode:

• widening your view, looking up, and shifting your perspective
• making space for the beautiful and good experiences
• remembering impermanence - what you're worrying about is going to change
• doing your practice in the good times to build your resilience

Listen in and gain a little inspiration! Whether you're going through a challenging time, or you're simply looking ahead to the unknowns of a new year, mindfulness practice can be an amazing support along the way.
