Summary
Welcome to episode 18 of The Mindful Kind podcast.
In this episode, I share my journey with public speaking and how mindfulness helped me grow from a girl who could barely read a written presentation in front of her classmates, to confidently speaking in front of 60 women at a wellness event!
The mindful routine I used on the night was this: Breathe. Notice a colour. Notice a sound. Notice my body. Breathe.
I mentioned my eBook, A Journey into Mindfulness: Your Twenty One Day Guide, which can be purchased from www.rachaelkable.com

| 1:39.6 | regularly, it never became any easier for me. I was always shaking and sweating. My heart was racing. I would |
