In todays episode Anya tells a recent story in which she has the opportunity to teach emotional regulation and presence to her five year old niece. She touches on perfectionism (not always what you think!) and how we can best support and encourage children to express their emotions safely and be themselves. After all, we are all children at heart; and healthy children turn into healthy adults who know how to handle the things that come their way! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/anya-mayoss-hurd/message

Todays episode is a reminder that we don't have to be victims to our minds, our external circumstances, or unwanted feelings. We always have the power to question the thoughts, the stories, and to choose again. We get to choose how we want to feel - and then step into that. We get to be empowered; rather than disempowered by our so called limitations. Our mind can be a grand trickster, but simple awareness and questioning of it can free us from a lot of suffering. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/anya-mayoss-hurd/message
