122: How Mindfulness is Essential for Every Parent with Dr. Seema Desai (Veggie Doctor Radio)

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have an enlightening and very authentic conversation with Dr. Desai about parenting, mindfulness and seeing things in a different light.   About featured guest: Namaste from Austin, Texas! I’m Seema. I wear a lot of hats—wife, mom, dentist, and yoga teacher-in-training, to name a few. I have a really wide range of interests, but the closest to my heart are yoga, mindfulness towards ourselves, each other, and the planet. I love being a mom, but my journey as a mother did not start as I expected.  I found yoga as relief from postpartum depression, and as time went on and my yoga practice deepened, the mindfulness began to follow and blossom. I came to the realization that I find dentistry fulfilling because I get to help people in physical pain, but that through yoga, I could help people not only in physical pain, but emotional pain as well. This epiphany served almost like a seed in my mind. My Instagram and this blog are the fruits of this epiphany. I hope my posts offer you inspiration to live a more mindful lifestyle, and help you find more peace and joy.  I always love hearing from my readers, so feel free to connect with me here, via e-mail, or on Instagram     DR.
