Welcome to the Meditation Minis podcast. Mindshifting Meditations to help you feel better fast with your host, hypnotist Shel Hamilton.

Hello and welcome. If you have been feeling stressed out, then you are in the right place today.

your nutrition this year? If so, Factor can help you make that happen. They deliver chef-made

gourmet meals ready to heat and eat in just a couple of minutes. With over 40 options across

eight different dietary preferences each week, I have found it super easy to pick meals tailored

to my taste and my goals. Choose from things like calorie smart, protein plus, keto, and more.

Two of my favorites from this past week were the home style turkey and gravy with potato celery root mash and the roasted garlic butter salmon.

Reach your goals this year with ingredients you can trust and convenience that can't be beat.
