Welcome to the Realign Your Life podcast with your host, Vivian Smith Richardson. Today's episode is all about mindfulness, a practice of being present and aware without judgment. Vivian will delve into what mindfulness is and how it can transform your well-being and relationships.

Vivian discusses how we can be practical with mindfulness in our daily lives, despite the distractions and demands of daily life. She emphasizes the importance of self-care through mindfulness.
