How to Get Present and Push Through Discomfort with Athea Davis - Ep #13

guest expert interviews personal development / mindset Mar 25, 2020
 

Want to know how to get present, push through discomfort, and become more magnetic in the process?

When your mind is racing all the time, it’s difficult to slow down and be present and presence is QUEEN when it comes to communication. That means keeping your nerves, insecurities or wandering thoughts at bay to focus on what (or who) is right in front of you. But it isn’t just your mind that creates presence, it starts with your body.

Today’s guest, mindfulness educator Athea Davis is helping us explore the connection between our bodies and our minds, sharing how yoga and mindfulness practices can be powerful tools for showing up for our audiences in a bigger way.

Athea Davis is a mindfulness educator at KIPP Texas Public Schools. She’s the author of Today’s Gonna Be Awesomesauce: Daily Meditations for Youth, Parents & Families, and the creator of the powerfully positive weekly classroom + home resource, the affirmation + art card deck, also called, Today’s Gonna Be Awesomesauce! Athea owns Sol Sense Yoga, a mindfully-infused education and leadership company, where she leads live mindfulness trainings + digital courses for leaders, educators, and parents. She is the host of the rising education podcast, Mindful Living with Athea Davis. Athea lives with her superhero love family in Houston, Texas and is dedicated to spreading the awesomesauce sparkle here, there, and everywhere!

She’s full of energy and put a big smile on my face-- and I’m sure she’ll do the same for you (even if you’re like me and the thought of yoga makes you YAWN).

Get ready to learn how to quiet your mind and leverage your-- as Athea puts it-- awesome sauce.
