029: Stop 'Shoulding' on Yourself with Tamsin Astor, Ph.D.

From the outside looking in, Tamsin Astor had a picture perfect life — a successful career, a beautiful home, and three happy, healthy children. Then, 2008 it all came crashing down. In today's episode, author, speaker and habits expert Tamsin Astor, talks about navigating the uncertainty and despair that ensued when her young son was diagnosed with cancer, and later the death of a close relative. Tamsin shares the healthy habits that helped her overcome some of the most painful and difficult moments of her life — and why you should stop following what people say you "should" do, and follow your own North Star instead. Tamsin has a Ph.D. in neuroscience and psychology, and combines her Western science training with the wisdom of Eastern practices, including meditation and yoga, to help people organize their habits, create their vision and transform their mindset so they have more time for what they want and need. She helps time-strapped, overwhelmed and overcommitted high-achievers make more room in their lives for fun, while also taking care of business.   Show Notes: HowieDoinIt.com/29 Subscribe, Rate, & Review: http://howiedoinit.com/subscribe Connect with Howie: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube Ask Howie: If you want Howie to answer your questions in an upcoming episode, drop him a line at [email protected]
