In this episode, we welcome Yvonne Hernandez, founder of Decide Balance and Host of the Decide Balance Podcast, a 5 - minute bilingual (English & Spanish) meditation podcast. She is also a Chopra Certified Meditation Teacher and a Reiki Master who sought and implemented holistic healing after being diagnosed with vitiligo, a condition in which skin loses its pigmentation. 

Yvonne discusses the importance of meditation for both children and adults. She shares her personal journey with meditation, how it transformed her life and parenting, and tips on incorporating meditation into family routines. We touch on the historical roots of meditation, the misconception that it conflicts with religious beliefs, and the health benefits it provides. 

This episode emphasizes the need for self-care among parents and the positive impact of meditation on emotional regulation, especially for children. Yvonne's goal is to teach meditation to 1 million children, promoting inner peace and better decision-making for future generations.
