Catching Z's: The Millennials Guide to Mindfulness

Heidi has been around the wholistic wellness world for a while, she holds a Doctorate in Psychology, is a Yoga Teacher, and teaches mindfulness based therapy to create a practice that looks at the whole person instead of just a couple of pieces. She has a ton of knowledge about what it takes to be a full human and she was a joy to chat with. We talk about:

• Her experience of meditation through getting into Yoga to lose weight
• Defining the spirit and why we don’t usually tend to our spirit
• What companies are doing for millennials to help feed their spirit
• What we can learn from the Baby Boomer generation
• Why studying psychology left her wanting to know more about Anxiety + Depression
• Why she feels we shouldn't talk about anxiety and depression as illnesses
• Her new book: Soothe: Your Mind-Body-Spirit Guide for Dealing with Crappy Emotions
• Difference in Resilience + Strength and when to use each
• How to use the phrase: Strong Like Oak, or Bend Like Grass
• Guided Meditation: Breathe the way you want to feel
