Next Episode: TOPIC IN FOCUS: Mindfulness & Coronavirus (Week 4)

Jay and Carlie (Aka: The Positive Hairstylist) embark on week 3 of their first "30 Day Challenge," focusing on mindfulness meditation. The two discuss their progress at two weeks in, and discuss changes they've noticed along the way. The two also discuss implications and importance for developing a mindfulness practice during these worrisome times with the increasing spread of the novel coronavirus. Jay briefly touches on panic/anxiety, decision making while under stress, the effect of long term stress on the immune system, and increasing compassion - and how meditation can impact all of these.
