Everyday Mindfulness — Staying Grounded in Stressful Times

In a world that never slows down, how do we find our footing when stress takes over? In this episode of Put it in a Bubble, we explore the practice of everyday mindfulness — not as something lofty or complicated, but as a simple, practical tool to help us stay grounded in the middle of life’s chaos.

Through personal stories, beginner-friendly techniques, and even a guided practice, you’ll discover how mindfulness can help you pause, reset, and meet stress with steadiness.
