Sometimes, we're not thriving and girl-bossing our way through life... we are just trying to make it through the day as best as we can. OKAY-ISH is all about getting honest when it comes to mental health, therapy, and the shit show we call life. Host and mental health counselor Maryellen Dance is on a mission, not to help you be perfect, but to get you feeling okay-ish. You're in for honest, raw, and emotional insights from a licensed specialist, as she covers topics ranging from co-dependancy and narcissism, to anxiety, sex, media, and more. Plus, she gets real about being a therapist, dating as a therapist, and "turning the therapist off" when it's time to unwind. Join us every Monday! You're not going to want to miss it... those cancellation fees are no joke.

Mindfulness: time to take a beat!

This week is all about mindfulness! And before you roll your eyes and pause the podcast, bear with us. Maryellen used to feel the exact same way! But since she’s come to understand it more, she really appreciates the value it can bring to your life. However, mindfulness is something she’s been letting fall to the wayside lately, so she wanted to make a conscious effort (hey, mindfulness!) to discuss it today. This episode gets into: The definition of mindfulness How it started in religious beliefs Jon Kabat-Zinn bringing it to the western world How one of his books helped to change her view on mindfulness What mindfulness means to Maryellen How our brains filter information in order to keep moving How, in order to de-stress, sometimes we actually need to notice everything around us How mindfulness helps people with anxiety by bringing them in to the present If you haven’t already, please follow, rate, and review the podcast, and follow your host on Instagram @maryellendance.
