Ep58: Rachael Kable, Mindfulness, Curiosity, Anxiety, Meditation, Doing the Best That I Can

Be your best self in the present with mindfulness and meditation.

Join me for a very mindful conversation with mindfulness expert Rachael Kable and let’s learn how to become the best version of ourselves in the present! In this episode, Rachael  discusses how her own personal experiences with anxiety and stress led her down the path to mindful living and mindful practice. We discuss how mindfulness and meditation will benefit you, and also delve into common misconceptions about mindfulness and meditation that often drive people away from something so easy, so freeing, and so simple. Let’s learn how to be of the mindful kind and why mindfulness will improve our lives.

Don’t forget to continue the conversation on the Mind Flipping Facebook group!
