This Conscious Conversation is a little gem. Meg James is a mum and meditation teacher; Meg has grown up with mindfulness and meditation in her life, yet her journey is not what you think. Meg tells a beautiful story of her being on retreat and realizing that life wasn't heading in the direction she wanted, and something had to change, and that was her. We touch on patenting, and Meg shares how mindfulness is helping guide her parenting through nature and small but significant rituals. If you're in transition, needed a sign for change or want to get some mindfulness gold; throw in those earbuds and grab a pen and paper.
