Is there a tool you can use to calm your mind, body, and nervous system? ☮️

In Season 2, Episode 5 of I’m Lost, So What?, Cassandra is joined by Aiko Smith (she/her) for a conversation about reconnecting and grounding ourselves, especially when the world and/or life is uncertain.

Aiko is keeping it real and brings in practical tools, resources, and practices that you can probably start implementing while you’re even listening to this episode.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What is mindfulness and how can you integrate it into your daily life?


• How to tap into your personal story to create change


• And tools to reintegrate your mind and body (one of them being your WTF face!)
