    Mindful Eating, Meditation & Happiness with Dan Harris
    Mar 22 2024

    Okay, this is a bit of a departure for Amy and David. What started out as a simple, straightforward interview about mindful eating with former ABC correspondent Dan Harris (now a leading teacher, practitioner, and best-seller author on meditation) became an engrossing discussion of self-defeating behavior and self-talk, the toxicity of body shaming, "Big T" and "little T" trauma, and ways out of the morass.
