I am so excited to be bringing guests back to the show, starting with Ashley J. Heidler, MSN, RN, CPN! You can find AJ on Instagram as @thehybridhippie, or on her website www.thehybridhippie.com. Today we are talking about mindfulness and how you can use it as a tool to improve your response to stress and enrich your life. Often times we think of mindfulness as something out of reach or overly woo, but AJ explains some of the science behind why it works, and breaks getting started down in to smaller, attainable steps. Using mindfulness as a way to bring yourself back to center doesn't have to look the same for everyone!

Take a deep breath, settle in, remember to screenshot and share this on your IG story and tag Ashley @thehybridhippie, and me @mindylhancock or @you.out.loud to let us know how the episode helped you!

A pediatric nurse, her career began at a children’s hospital where AJ would ascend into the position of a Clinical III Nurse before welcoming a new role managing a community hospital's pediatric outreach department. In this current position, AJ blends her healthcare + communications background to create and implement educational programming in the promotion of positive health behaviors for children and families. Most recently, AJ has created a Mindfulness program for elementary-aged children in which she has nationally—and soon to be globally— spoken to her nursing peers.
