Laurie S. Jacobson: How Can College Students Start Their Mindfulness Journey?

How can college students start their mindfulness journey? Let's talk to Laurie S. Jacobson, an author, speaker, and Certified Health Coach. She has spent more than 25 years promoting health and wellness through education, media, and personal appearances. She's been featured in local and national publications, and hosted Cooking for Health on WJAC-TV. In episode 609 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what inspired her journey to a Buddhist monastery and what those first few days were like, what advice she would you give to students who might see those same abusive or toxic signs in their own relationships, how college students can bring mindfulness into their day, what happened when she practiced silence for 22 days at the monastery, what is the role of physical health in supporting emotional and spiritual wellbeing, what misconceptions about health and wellness does she see most often, and what freedom felt like after years of control and fear. Enjoy!
