We were super thrilled to announce our first face-to face community conversation post-covid. Because we also offered this conversation via Zoom, we were testing the technical waters and had originally hoped to post this conversation on youtube as well. But unfortunately, some glitches made that impossible. Thank you for your patience and for listening to this important conversation! We are welcoming KARISSA AKIN with Iksplor to discuss how to lead a purposeful life -- in spite of it all! You might be familiar with Iksplor's amazing local community clothing line for families. You might not know that Karissa has been through a lot in life, including the loss of her brother and father. But she never let that stop her from living a life of purpose and inspiring others, including us, along the way. In this discussion she not only offers her story, but also what helped her turn her tragedies into triumph! This conversation was recorded on April 28th, 2021 Mindfulness 4 Mamas supports the well-being of mamas by gathering in a safe, non-judgmental space and providing mothers of all ages and stages access to mindful practices and shared community.
