Other tidbits you’ll enjoy from this interview include:
 
~How do you know what you are meant to do? Ask yourself what is bringing you joy, and then listen to our bodies. Our bodies tell us, we feel in our bodies when we are in our purpose, lighter, more open, more energy, things around us feel more sparkly.
And then, stay open. What do you want to learn more about?
~How to cope with life transitions - getting present with the now and staying open, not getting overwhelmed with knowing the whole story in advance. Take one right action at a time and the rest will reveal itself in time.
~What does self care look like so we can be our best selves and show up how we want in the world.
~Meditation - 5 minutes a day can change your life!
