In the whirlwind of midlife, juggling responsibilities and managing the festive season can leave us feeling overwhelmed. But even during the busiest times, we can create small, meaningful pauses that bring calm and clarity. In this episode of Redefining Midlife, I share practical ways to ease stress and embrace mindfulness to help you navigate the chaos with grace and resilience. Key points covered in this episode include:
