I’m so happy you are joining me on this healing journey. In this episode of The Real Heal, we welcome one of my dearest friends, Mary Waldon, LCSW, a therapist in Chicago. Mary is warm, lovely, and hilarious. We laugh so hard together, and she’s also an amazing mother. When we’re together, we don’t waste time going deep, and our conversation on the Real Heal is a peek into what it’s like when we hang out together. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
Mary offers free meditation on her website BigWavesStrongBoat.com and in our conversation she offers affordable options for finding good therapists in your neighborhood.
There are some great free meditation options such as the Insight Timer App, which offers guided meditations, thought contemplations, calming music, and more. Mary leads several guided meditations on the app.
In this episode of The Real Heal, Mary mentions Kristin Neff, a self-compassion researcher out of UT-Austin. Check out her website: Self-compassion.org
