Welcome back to the Zen(ish) Mommy Podcast! During today’s mini episode, we have a guest sharing an actionable mindfulness tip with us. Corie Wightlin is a life coach, educator, and mindfulness facilitator with over 20 years of experience working with youth, families, and community organizations. With a focus on folks with executive function, Corie believes that when someone is able to combine living in the present moment with a strong understanding of what motivates them, what is keeping them stuck, and what works specifically for them, they can experience magic in their lives! Today, she shares a body scan with us to help release tension and reduce stress in the hope that we will integrate this mindfulness practice into our lives and the day-to-day lives of our children. Tune in today to learn a simple practice you can keep coming back to.
