Episode 4 - Becoming My Own Soulmate with Danielle Parks
Danielle’s Resources:
A Journal - this is the best external example of a very internal process…using your journal as an intentional space to reconnect with yourself…to build trust in yourself, to begin to rebuild that relationship with you!
Untamed by Glennon Doyle - a great book to reopen that dreaming part of you! If you feel as though you haven’t allowed yourself to really ‘dream big’ this may help open that part of you - give you the permission you may have been asking for!
The Choice by Edith Eger
Renee Wilkinson (find her on Instagram) her Meditations will blow you away
Insight Timer App - Pura Rasa and Rising Higher Meditation
Rumi’s Poem The Field, and The Guest House
Thich Nhat Hahn - The heart of the Buddha’s Teaching.
*Ultimately* The best resource is your inner voice - listening to the way your body or you feel as you see things you either like or dislike will help lead you along the path of your own discovery - these are merely suggestions…as you reconnect and recommit to you…that is the path of becoming your own soulmate.

Episode 2 - Happiness over Perfection with Stef Tousignant
Stef’s Resources:
Stef’s website is parentdifferently.com and that’s where you will find the 90-Day Parenting with Gratitude Challenge - which is a free weekly email series filled with science backed activities to try with or without your kids. And you can listen to her podcast “Parent Differently with Gratitude” on any podcast player.
Follow her on Instagram at @parent_differently where each day she posts something new about gratitude or motherhood and basically pumps you up for this chaotic job called Life with Kids.
If you have young children and are looking for a mindful bedtime book try Stef’s book “The Middle of the Night Book” which teaches children to notice their own sleepiness using a bodyscan meditation.
The study we talked about in this Episode is called “Get Excited: Reappraising Pre-Performance Anxiety as Excitement” and it was done by Alison Wood Brooks at Harvard University.
Stef’s book recommendation would be “The Little Book of Gratitude” by Dr. Robert Emmons. A quick and easy guide to incorporating more gratitude into your daily life.
