Ep 233: Practicing Mindfulness in Parenting with Caverly Morgan Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Jess sits down with Caverly Morgan, a meditation teacher, nonprofit leader, and visionary to discuss how we can empower our children toward a path of mindfulness and what that can mean for them and the world! We focus on actionable ways to begin mindfulness in our homes, and how focusing on our own mindfulness practice as parents and caregivers can be the lead domino in helping our children learn.

Caverly Morgan is a meditation teacher, nonprofit leader, and visionary. She is the founder of Presence Collective, dedicated to igniting personal transformation and collective awakening. She is also the founder and Lead Contemplative of Peace in Schools — a nonprofit which created the nation's first for-credit mindfulness class in public high schools. Caverly blends the original spirit of Zen with a modern nondual approach. Her practice began in 1995 and has included eight years of training in a silent Zen monastery. She has been teaching contemplative practice since 2001. Caverly is the author of A Kids Book About Mindfulness. Her new book for adults will be released through Sounds True in the fall of 2022.

We hope you learn something new today that empowers you to think critically about your life in a constructive way!

Show notes

SPOILER ALERT: we chat our unique perspectives on Santa in this episode so you may not want to listen with little ears around ❤️

This week, Jess and Laura sit down for a highly requested topical episode all about how we create holiday traditions for our own families. We chat through how we approach the season from October through December, the different traditions we do, things we are looking forward to implementing, and how our mindsets and approaches to these holidays have and will continue to shift based on our seasons of life! As always, none of what we share is meant to tell anyone what they should be doing, and is only ever meant to be us sharing what we do - take what resonates with you and leave the rest! Happy holiday season friends!
