Please welcome Donny Starkins (@donny_starkins) BACK to the show! He first joined us on episode #28, and I invited him back on to share his heart during these challenging times. 

As a yoga instructor, meditation leader, teacher and coach, he has an ability to make complex concepts feel achievable, even in the midst of chaos. Today’s conversation is shorter than the average episode because we’re primarily discussing how to navigate feelings of anxiety, fear or uncertainty during this COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, his tools and mindset shifts are valuable and applicable far beyond a global health crisis and I hope they help you and/or your loved ones.

In this interview we cover:

Shifting your mindset while navigating uncertainty and/or anxietyUsing mindfulness to manage fearAdopting the leadership approachDaily practices and a powerful acronym to promote personal accountability and self-compassion
