I had no idea, I had no understanding, I didn't realize, I thought that I was doing everything right.” (17:17) “We all know that our brains talk to our stomachs and our guts. But what science has really worked on now is that our guts talk back to our brains.” (24:24) “I'm big into not making more work for us women because generally, we have a long list of things that we need to get done, but how can we use the mindfulness techniques that we learn and bring them into everyday life as well?” (33:02)   Resources Mentioned Are You Your Best Self?
