​Welcome back to WellSeekers as we continue with a brand new six part series focusing on meditation and mindfulness. As always and in this series, we’ll share amazing conversations full of thoughtful insights, powerful personal stories, and most importantly real world solutions; all from a holistic perspective. We’ll talk about mindfulness in your own life, in your relationships, at work life, and how you can use it to help accomplish goals towards finding the life you love. On today’s show we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Stephanie Nash, mindfulness & body-language coach & speaker, as we tackle the topic of our relationship with food through the lens of mindfulness. We talk about becoming more present with food and rewiring and changing your relationship with the food as we head into the holidays and New Year. Stephanie gives real and practical advice, and also shares her personal spiritual journey with mediation and the mindfulness system developed by her teacher Shinzen Young.
