It Takes Guts To Be Vulnerable
The first time I went to see a counselor was after my parents divorced when I was in the 3rd grade. I remember the school counselor asking me how I felt, was I sad, why was I sad, what other

The Past Hurts: Lessons From The Lion King
I grew up with two sisters, and our childhood was filled with some of the best Disney movies of all time. These movies without a doubt had an influence on our lives – especially considering we had the CD Soundtrack

Where Is Your Center?
If you’ve been practicing yoga for long enough, maybe at some point you have heard a teacher ask you to “Find your center.” What does that mean? Where is your center? What is your center? And why do you need

Cultivating Mindfulness. A New Book. A New Adventure.
