by | Nov 2, 2022

In today’s episode of The Mindful Academy, our host Jennifer Askey talks about how these two ideas need to be distinctively two separate identities rather than a combined concept. Jennifer takes it all the way back to kindergarten. Want some insight on how these can be equated to winning a pie-eating contest when the prize is more pie?

About Our Host:

Jennifer used to be a professor, until one day she moved to a different country and gave up her career. She had to figure out “what next?”

Jennifer has devoted the last ten years to learning all that she can about positive psychology, emotional intelligence, the growth mindset, and mindfulness, so that she can help others do the same, and build a rewarding career in the process.
