Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 210 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

It's been a challenging time in my part of the world (and much of Australia). The bushfires have caused so much devastation during this fire season and my little family and I evacuated and have been staying in Melbourne. It's been an awful time for so many people but I've also seen incredible examples of kindness and support.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Mindfulkind podcast.
0:06.4	I'm your host, Rachel Cable, author of the Mindfulkind book, Mindfulness Teacher and blogger at
0:12.0	Rachelcable.com.
0:13.8	Each week, this podcast will bring meaningful tips, tools and strategies so you can manage stress

0:49.7	people and every time I think about it, I feel overwhelmingly sad.
0:58.9	When it was time to create this podcast episode, I wasn't really sure what to do.
1:02.8	Should I take a break and wait until I'm in a better frame of mind?
1:05.6	Should I just release my usual weekly episode?

1:29.4	might change. They might not be 100% accurate and some of this episode is based on my
1:35.2	experiences and opinions. I also recorded this episode a few days before it was released,
1:41.2	so the numbers may have already changed.
1:44.5	The fires have been burning in Australia during December 2019 and into January 2020 so far,
