Episode 28 - Nostalgia

Those were the days! In this episode, we explore nostalgia—how we experience it, and how it can get in the way of us being fully present and embodied in the moment. We also discuss the Olympics, gratitude, some of our favourite nostalgia triggers. Robyn is inspired by Céline Dion’s comeback performance and Michelle starts a morning walking routine.
