She started to sleep through the night; was far less anxious; and she started to hear that small voice in her heart that said, “quit your job, because you’re miserable,” louder than she heard the chatter in her mind that said “what are you crazy? You can’t quit your job!” The more she meditated, the clearer it became. become a certified meditation instructor, learning the trademarked method of SEED - Simple Easy Every Day meditation. She then went on to become a Mindfulness@Work trainer, so she could share the tools that helped change her life so profoundly.
