This episode is part of the Catalyst Diaries, which features women who are sharing their stories of growth, healing, and transformation after darkness and trauma.

Today, we're talking with the Ministress of Mindfulness. Andrea Manilla shares how she's gone from suffering with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideations to living a life of peace, presence, and fulfillment. She's now sharing her story and helping others experience more mindfulness in their everyday lives.

We cover:

• The power of sharing our truth and being authentic with those around us
• How to make anything in your life a mindfulness practice
• Ways to simplify mindfulness. No yoga cushions or Buddhist temples required.
• What to do when you feel like you're "bad" at being mindful and just can't stop thinking.

We discussed Andrea's favourite mindfulness App, Insight Timer. Check it out here: https://insighttimer.com/en-ca
