Podcast: Talking Mindfulness with Dr. Linda Turner

We all know that we should make wellness a priority. All month long we’ve been giving you tips about healthy eating, getting in shape, meditating and more. While we fervently believe that every mom deserves to spend time on her own health and well-being, we also know that it’s easier said than done. We’re moms, too, after all. We understand that sometimes in the rush of work and family and volunteering for the PAC and making time for your friends and everything else that you have on your plate, there just isn’t a whole lot left over. That’s why we’re excited to share a podcast with Dr. Linda Turner, who shares a simple technique you can use to improve your wellness anytime, anywhere.
