In this episode, we will discuss how family traditions can help us reduce stress. Our guest today is Linda Penkala who recently wrote an article in Contentment magazine (which can be found at stress.org) where she stated –
“As a tightly woven unit or loosely gathered group of relatives, the family is our foundational place for lessons to be learned and where loving relationships begin. The stability of parents, grandparents, and extended family offers a solid ground of stability and connections. “
Linda Penkala is LMT and her company Optimum Health for Life is a wellness company that offers health and wellness presentations virtually or in person, and therapeutic massage incorporating aromatherapy, light therapy, and Thai massage. Her passion and heart for holistic lifestyle choices can be found through published articles on her website, www.lindapenkala.com, and also in Linda's book The Pause to Relax Ladies for Robust Heart Health. Blending her first career as a jockey with her current one as a LMT for 37 years reveals powerful analogies regarding speed, stress, and the results of not paying attention to making proactive lifestyle choices to prevent cardiovascular disease, our #1 killer. Linda's holistic self-regulation modalities help lessen stress, enhance clarity through breath work, and help people find a peaceful work/life balance.
