and this podcast is for women who want to feel more vibrant, happy, aligned, and alive.

You'll gain the emotional, physical, and spiritual tools you need to get your

sparkle back and ensure that depression, anxiety, and struggle don't rule your life. Welcome to

Patricia Carpus, who is going to talk about how meditation and breathwork can help us stay calm

Hey everyone. I'm with Patricia Carpice today and she is the head of content for Muse and the co-founder
