Long work hours, family responsibilities and the usual life stresses putting 'wellness and self care' firmly down your priority list? Yes - you're stressed but the thought of squeezing 30 minutes yoga or a meditation into your already crammed day is about as 'calming' as rush hour traffic. Well - fear not says Tayyaba Jordan (https://wellnesswithme.co.uk/), successful executive Health Coach, micro-changes expert, Workplace Wellbeing Consultant and speaker. Tayyaba believes that stress reduction and wellness can be achieved in tiny 2 minute micro pockets of self care throughout the day, and that what that self care looks like should be entirely up to you. Meditation, not your thing - no problem - turn to your favourite song, stare out the window or simply breathe more effectively. And if you happen to love your high pressure job - do you have to give it up? Again - thats a no - you just need to know how to turn off work mode and flip easily into relax mode whenever you need to.

We know you're busy - but this ten minute podcast could be a game changer for you.
