September not only is self-care awareness month, but as all kids are now back in school, it's a time for parents to reground and center themselves in preparation for the busyness that the school year brings. Parents have really great intentions, but often poor execution as they lack the tools to parent effectively to the kid they have, not the one they hoped, wished, or thought they had. Joree del...

Even though I recently did an episode on self-compassion, I wanted to delve in deeper because I see it as a place where many people get - and stay - stuck.

I believe it's your birthright to be...

Joree muses and reflects on the 4th of July about what our personal freedoms looks and feels like: Independence - what does that mean to you? What were your visions of what it meant to be independent growing up? Was it freedom to make your own choices, or having your own thoughts? Was it able to go somewhere or do something on your own? Was it in relation to freedom to be yourself – separate from...

After my light starting going on, I was attuned to the Universe giving me signs. And then the light went on with less frequency, and a NEW Universe sign started appearing with incredible regularity. THIS meaning was even more powerful than my light...and it continues to this day. To me, it's all a sign of awareness, and the universe asking me, "Joree - are you being aware? Are you paying attention...

Joree will continue to go through the foundations of mindfulness as rooted in Buddhist practice including the concepts of equanimity and the 1st dart and the 2nd dart. All of this is easier said than done, but it is possible!

Buddhism is not a religion, but rather a way of being; it's a set of tools based in a framework to reduce our suffering and how to be in the present moment. Joree will share her condensed Buddhism 101 to highlight the fundamentals to give context and meaning to the roots of mindfulness practice. This episode will cover the 4 noble truths and the challenge of rumination.    

When we can view what's around us as if seeing it for the very first time, we get to experience true presence and unfiltered awareness. Hear about my journey to Ecuador into the Amazon Rainforest for a week with my 13-year old daughter, where we volunteered in a village and immersed into the Kichwa culture, and how this concept of Beginner's Mind influenced every aspect of our adventure.

It used to be believed that our brains couldn't change, and our wiring was fixed. Good news is that's not true and we are able to rewire our brains to be happier, healthier people. It starts with awareness and takes practice, but it is possible!

Had I not had a mindfulness practice during the week of Halloween, 2011, I guarantee I would have had a nervous breakdown. But the one thing that saved me - I mean truly got me through it - was my breath. It sounds overly simplified, but it's true. All I could do was breathe...
