"Mindful Monday: Mindful Transitions " - Episode 32 - In today's Mindful Monday, I share my conversation with Rockland World Radio's host of "Connections with Deborah Turner" and publisher of Natural Awakenings Hudson Valley West magazine Deborah Turner. We go through the ways that we can examine periods of transitions, such as the holidays, as opportunities for us to more mindfully attend to our self care, relationships, and standards for our lives so that we can get through them with ease. Deborah and I list several ways that we can take the stress out of transitions and also invite more connections, gratitude, and joy into our lives so that we can celebrate more of what we love.

"Life After Divorce " - Episode 35 - Dalila Jusic-LaBerge, LMFT is the owner of Be Here & Now Counseling and specializes in working with accomplished women yearning for a loving romantic relationship following a divorce so that they can heal and develop deeper emotional connections with the people they love.
"Mindful Monday: Practicing the Nonjudgmental Stance " - Episode 36 - Mindfulness is the awareness of the present experience without judgment and it can shift our experiences! One of the key elements of Mindfulness is practicing the non-judgmental stance. Judgments are often difficult for us to notice and sometimes even more difficult for us to shake. They are not always bad - they can be useful! For example, they allow us to have quick descriptions by creating simple categories and they offer fast, shorthand ways of describing preferences and consequences. At times we do need to make judgments veryquickly in order to act.
