If you’re a mum that feels like you’ve got too much going on. That you’re constantly thinking, worrying, planning and doing. If your mind feels like your browser that’s got 101 tabs open. If you feel like you’re spinning too many plates and your mind could explode with all things running through it…….then this episode is for you.
Today we’re talking about meditation……but before you might think:
- “that meditation stuff is great for people who have time”
or
- “I love the idea of meditation but I’m a busy working mum – how the hell is that possible in my life!!?”
or
- “that meditation stuff sounds weird and is for people who live up mountains in tibet”
Let me share with you a secret – I used to think all those things too before I met today’s guest.
Jo Royle is a meditation teacher and coach and she’s been teaching people the art of effortless meditation across the UK for the past 7 years
She’s my meditation teacher and when I discovered Jo and her work it’s not an exaggeration to say it changed my life. I’ll share more on this story during this episode.

is a little vanilla. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home
page and note how they create article headlines to grab viewers to open the links.
You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get people excited about what you’ve got to
say. In my opinion, it could make your website a little livelier.
I constantly spent my half an hour to read this webpage’s content daily along with a

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
Someone necessarily help to make critically articles I’d state.
That is the very first time I frequented your web page and up to now?
I surprised with the analysis you made to make this actual publish extraordinary.
Magnificent job!
My brother recommended I might like this web site.
He was entirely right. This post actually made
my day. You cann’t imagine just how much time I had spent for this information!
Thanks!
I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting
article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content
as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever
before.
