CARA BRADLEY’S BOOK:
SHOW INTRODUCTION:
Today I’ll be talking with Cara Bradley, former Team Rollerblade pro skater, mental-strength coach, the founder of Verge Yoga, and co-founder of the non-profit Mindfulness Through Movement, which provides mindfulness programs to schools in Philadelphia, host of the podcast Real Women, Courageous Wisdom, and the author of On the Verge: Wake Up, Show Up, and Shine
Today we’ll talk about how you can do just that, turn your life into a high definition, high voltage, on purpose living experience, with greater focus, energy, clarity and joy.
That, plus we’ll talk about climbing Mount Cardigan, skating Central Park, how to problem solve through walking, what in the world are sticky people, what’s a sloppy brain, crazy busy, and why you don’t need to force a frog pose in order to feel good about yourself.
