Description

Hey there! We are Teresa McKee and Melissa Sims, your hosts of A Mindful Moment. Our podcast is here to help you practice a more mindful life and enjoy the many benefits of mindfulness! At a time when change is constant and we are pulled in too many directions, our mental health needs some love. We need a way to stay present to life and to increase our ability to remain calm, think clearly and maintain our well-being. We chat with each other about our failures and successes in mindfulness, we interview experts and authors in the field of mental health, and also guide you through some wonderful meditations. Mindfulness improves our mental, emotional and physical health, so we hope you give it a shot!

The podcast hosts are a mother-daughter duo - Teresa has a master’s degree in psychology, is a certified mindfulness meditation facilitator, a transformation coach and the CEO of Work2Live Well. Melissa is a yoga teacher, a transformation coach, and the Program Director for Work2Live Well. We've been delivering new episodes weekly since 2019, and hope you come along the journey with us! Let's Grow!

Sometimes...well, most of the time, life can seem pretty underwhelming. It could be so much different, though! We just need to remember how much there is around us that is truly awe-inspiring. Invoking awe can not only awaken the senses, but open your mind up to the beauty that surrounds you daily. So instead of being underwhelmed, prepare to be awed! Teresa guides you through a 10-minute visualization to help you begin to inspire awe. Please subscribe today! Do you love watching podcasts?

Join us for a brief guided meditation to help you learn to respond rather than react. Reactions are usually the reason for arguments and confrontation. If we can learn to pause and consider a response, we are much more likely to have a healthy conversation instead of a detrimental argument. Please subscribe today! Do you love watching podcasts?

Much of what is going wrong in the world today can be attributed to the human brain's propensity to REACT instead of mindfully RESPONDING.

Meditation has been shown to increase the gray matter in your brain, which strengthens areas of your brain responsible for memory, learning, attention and self-awareness. It can also help calm down your sympathetic nervous system. For this meditation, we recommend that you choose a safe, comfortable space, in the event you fall asleep.
