Mindful parenting. A commendable feat, wouldn’t you agree? Maintaining a mindful presence in the daily orchestration of motherhood, running a business, or the delicate balance of both is a formidable challenge that demands patience, introspection, and profound self-awareness. Here to illuminate us on the subject is this week’s guest, Josephine Atluri, a sought-after fertility, pregnancy, and parenting mindfulness coach. Her mission is to guide individuals through adversity, helping them find joy in their day-to-day lives.  In this intimate exploration of mindfulness and self-awareness, Josephine generously shares her poignant journey through multiple rounds of IVF, adoption, and surrogacy.

We also explore the art of self-compassion and mindfulness within the beautiful yet chaotic tapestry of a large family.  Join us as we delve into the profound intersection of mindfulness, fertility struggles, and motherhood to uncover the transformative power of self-worth, grace, and presence in both personal growth and parenting.
