0:00.0	Welcome back. I'm glad you're here today. I'm going to be covering a topic which could help you
0:04.7	make the practice of mindfulness and meditation happen. Lately, I have been researching the subject
0:11.5	a lot, and we have covered it in other episodes, but I've realized how important not only for obviously
0:18.0	the mental health benefits, but for the physical benefits, how it helps in pregnancy, how it helps
0:23.1	in postpartum, in parenting, and even we can teach our children how to be mindful in situations,
0:29.4	or even how to meditate to calm themselves. And I thought Kelly Smith was a perfect person to

1:31.6	on. You don't feel like you have time to just ground yourself and find time to meditate.
1:36.8	Being mindful is difficult for you in trying to be present in situations. This episode is for you,
1:43.2	the very small meditation within the episode that she does is for you. And I think you're really
1:48.7	going to love it because I fall into your category as well. So I loved hearing her opinion on it and
1:55.2	how helpful it was in so many different situations. And before we get into today's episode, I do
