In today's episode Dr. Michele Kambolis, mind-body specialist and author of When Women Rise, joins us to discuss how parents need to support themselves in order to take care of their children. Dr. Kambolis speaks about how self-care can be as simple as adding small daily doses of intentional pauses and breathing, no guilt necessary. Join us to learn about how 4-4-6-2 breathing, mindfulness and meditation can impact your life, body and mind positively. We discuss how women are brought up to fear the world around them and the differences between experiencing stress or anxiety. Lastly, we discuss why self-compassion is necessary and a big part of understanding that the “super mom” you see on social media doesn’t exist.
