“Let’s just say that I’ve been in a mood the past few days. The “I only want to do the bare minimum” mood. “Whatever is not mission critical gets put on the back burner” kind of mood. Have I eaten? Yes. Have I showered? Yes. Have I communicated on some level with some people so they know I’m alive? Yes. But other than that, I gave myself permission to just BE.”

In the same mood as this episode? Check out the amazing podcast, Terrible, Thanks For Asking with Nora McInerny.

P.S. You’re doing great!

On this week's episode of Hidden Brain, we'll explore the science of compassion, and how being kind to others can make a real difference in your own life.

This week, we're reframing wellness with Princess Owens, otherwise known as Multiple Mom — a family wellness coach who has a lot to say about reframing wellness for moms, for Black women, and for children. She gives insights into the origins of Pilates, her business Be Well Zara, and how she opted for community over fashion.
