223 // The Power of Being Present NOW
When experiencing beautiful moments of joy, wonder, or gratitude it can be easy to want to cling on to those moments and not want to let go. On the flip side, when we experience difficult, dark, or heavy moments it's hard not to try to rush through, avoid, or numb out in order to escape the present. In this episode, Katelin explores what we gain when we truly embrace the present moment during both the highs and the lows.
