Welcome to episode 53 of the Mindful & Driven podcast! It's all about how to not lose sight of what really matters whilst chasing your dreams.

Episode 53’s guest is Natalie Costa. She's the founder of Power Thoughts Incorporated. It's a teaching, coaching, and mindfulness service aimed at teaching kids to deal with their emotions and the negative feelings that they have. It's not about hiding those emotions away but dealing with them in a healthy way that promotes good habits which can take them further into adulthood. 

Natalie was a teacher for 15 years and loved the classroom but she just see all these problems of anxiety creeping amongst children more and more and wanted to do something about it. She's now helped over 4,000 children through her methods.
