Mindfulness Alive

Many of you would have known Jill Emberson, an award winning journalist. I had such a lovely time with her doing this interview which was just before her diagnosis, you will enjoy her candour and honest sharing. Before her untimely death to ovarian cancer Jill cofounded Pink Meets Teal https://pinkmeetsteal.com/contact/ to raise awareness and funds for research into ovarian cancer.

One of the challenges of this time of the year is all of the images of the perfect Christmas that we walk around with in our head. As a consequence, we run around stressing about making it all perfect. Yet because we compare our experience with an impossible ideal, it never lives up to how it 'should' be. We feel disappointment, even a sense of failure. Naturally, however, the ideal Christmas is a curated ideal, and an external view, whereas our reality is an internal perspective full of all our 'to do's', commentaries and self-doubt.

It feels like very hard times for us adults at the moment, and imagine how it is feeling for our children! Charlotte talks with Tracy Mac on Newcastle Live Radio about how to help children build resilience and feel more secure and calm in a world that feels out of control right now.
