This is why two people can experience the exact same trauma, and not heal at the same time.

Instead, it’s actually about noticing your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings with kindness and curiosity, without judging yourself.

If you’re curious about how to begin a mindfulness and meditation practice, you’re in the right place. Let’s explore some practical, friendly ways to bring mindfulness into your routine, with a few personal stories sprinkled in to keep things real.
