🎙️ The Carol Beringer Method: Amazing Movement Podcast 🎙️

This week on the podcast, Carol had a beautiful conversation with dear friend Liz Bernardi Seaden - a woman who transformed personal tragedy into a mission of healing and service. After suddenly losing her husband in England, Liz moved back to Pennsylvania with her son and rebuilt her life through yoga, mindfulness, and community.

Highlights from their conversation:

✨ Finding strength through yoga and mindfulness practices
✨ Teaching emotional resilience to children in Philadelphia schools
✨ Co-founding Widows Rising - a supportive community for women
✨ Navigating cultural adjustment and single parenting
✨ Accessing the inner resilience we all possess

Liz's story beautifully demonstrates how movement and mindfulness can be powerful tools for healing, and how our greatest challenges can become our greatest gifts to others. Her work with Mindfulness Through Movement in city schools and Widows Rising shows how personal transformation can ripple out to help countless others.

This conversation will inspire you to trust in your own inner strength and remember that we all have what we need within us to navigate life's most difficult chapters.
