The Momentum Series replays our top episodes so that you have the chance to catch episodes you missed, and refresh on others. The idea is to support you more regularly as you take charge of 2023 (through whatever challenges may arise). Here's to health, wealth and wisdom on this heartfelt path of yours.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Jessica Borushock, a brilliant therapist, award-winning author, and founder of Busy Mind Reboot.

This episode is so exciting for me, as Dr. Jessica shares about integrating yoga into the cultivation of Whole Health – as it is a brilliant tool for cultivating something called Pure Awareness. As you will hear in the episode, Dr. Jessica takes the concepts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT for short), and makes them accessible and actionable – so that even with the pains of being human, you can still create a life that is rich and meaningful for you.

I just want to remind you that as this is the first week of the Wisdom for Wellbeing Podcast – I’m celebrating by releasing multiple episodes! So subscribe, and keep your eyes open for the next episodes.
