Practicing Mindfulness

Can we live in the moment, every moment? What about when you live with pain? What if my mind is like a squirrel?

Kelly and Sarah are joined by mindfulness expert and therapist, Elizabeth Wilder Young to discuss what mindfulness actually is, how to incorporate it into your every day, and how it can help address pain.

Oh, and Sarah overshares. Again.

Guest Host Bio

Elizabeth is a licensed clinical social worker providing psychotherapy, stress reduction, and mindfulness training in a small private practice in Atlanta.  She began her own meditation journey in 2007 while in graduate school at the University of California Berkeley, after recognizing signs of burnout from working with highly traumatized clients in the child welfare system.

After years of experiencing the personal benefits of meditation, she became a certified Mindfulness Mediation Teacher, completing a two-year-long training program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, through their Awareness Training Institute.  She was honored to be part of the inaugural group of 300+ students from 17 different countries who gathered in California for three intensive training retreats in 2017.  Elizabeth incorporates mindfulness and self-compassion practices into her work, her parenting, and her life and is grateful to have the opportunity to talk about the benefits of mindfulness on this podcast!
