Meander with Clara Cohen

What this episode covers

Clara is a force of nature! A successful entrepreneur she specializes in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture... and my mother introduced us almost 20 years ago! She now lives in Port Moody, BC where she runs her business and teaches acupuncture to lucky students. In this episode, Clara reminisces with me about the joy present in her childhood in the French Alps, and how despite being poor she had a wonderful youth raised by a single mother with a big heart and incredible creativity, who taught her how to live life fully. Clara is alive to all her senses, and makes sure she makes intentional choices about everything she does - choices that enrich her life and help build her natural reservoir of joy. So no movies or shows that depress, food that looks and tastes great (she's French after all), regular time outside in nature hiking and kayaking, and regular contact with people she loves, physically distant of course given we're still in a pandemic at the time of this conversation.
