Hustle & Flow With Heather Hubbard

On today’s show, I reveal how meditation can be a great way to deal with the stress and anxiety of being a lawyer. I share the science behind meditation as well as my personal struggle (and triumph) in finding a technique that worked for my busy mind.   Things you will learn in this episode:  How the pressures of being a lawyer can affect your daily life and why a healthy outlet for your mind is critical  What most lawyers have in common and why these personality traits can create an impediment to trying "new age" (although they're not so new...) practices like meditation  My experience in trying to figure out how to turn off my mind and meditate; I was convinced it wasn't possible for a lawyer like me but I was wrong  The neuroscience behind meditation and how Harvard researchers have proven that it changes the brain over time  The benefits of meditation including how 50 year-olds can have the same memory as 20 year-olds  What changes you can expect to experience if you start a regular meditation practice
