Mind Declutter with Athea Davis

Happy Day, Friend! I am so excited for you to listen to my warm chat and interview with Kim Bearden of the highly acclaimed Ron Clark Academy. We chat about her new book, Talk to Me: Find the Right Words to Inspire, Encourage, and Get Things Done. Kim and I dive into her 6 principals of effective communication where she begins by sharing her story about opening up publicly for the first time about struggle, pain, and adversity. Kim reminds us that in the depths of darkness, we find enlightenment and forgiveness. She also wisely says that we have the choice to transform our feelings of any loss of power in a new way - by using our pain to transform feelings of loss into empowered action. Kim says, "A heart without hurt is hollow."I know you will find value from this interview whether you are an educator, parent, leader, or anyone wanting to make improvements in their communication and use their struggles and adversities to redefine any loss of power into an empowered way of being, which helps us have happier and healthier relationships, and a joy-filled, sparkly bright life.

Happy Day, Friends! In the podcast this week, I talk to former educator, business owner, and product inventor, Amanda Field, about yoga, mindfulness, and meditation, and what it's like to create the life she loves as a yogi, woman entrepreneur, and creative. I enjoyed Amanda's story and perseverance through multiple roadblocks ultimately setting her on a path to live boldly, bravely, and powerfully authentic in her own skin. I hope you enjoy our conversation and feel inspired to take on your own bold and brave actions in life - at school, home, work, and beyond. Keep breathing deep and shining bright, Friends!

Happy Day, Friends! If your energy levels are off the charts like mine (insert excited students and kids looking forward to summer around the corner) with the buzz buzz bloom of spring, then it's time to get your mind chillaxed and relaxed. I couldn't think of a better way to share how to help you and yours make that happen in your everyday life than to interview Gaelyn Godwin, Zen Master and Abbot at the Houston Zen Center. Join our warm conversation where we talk about all things zen, relationships, and life. No fluff. But, you may find extra sparkles in your heart after listening. Straight talk to help you and yours de-stress for success. Gaelyn gives us one tangible tool we can use right now to have our own insta-chillax button.  It's recommended in high doses for connecting relationships and a joyful life. For a live demonstration of this life-saving tool, join me (after listening to the podcast) on my Facebook Live at 9:00 a.m. (or watch later).

Happy Day, Friends! I'm revisiting the topic of anxiety, because when I discussed this topic before on the podcast it was really popular! You can re-listen to that episode called Mastering Anxiety, Episode 8. Today, however, I talk about using a practical framework to help you and your kids or students process and manage your anxiety using mindfulness tools. I discuss 3 steps to this framework and as a bonus on this episode I give you 4 additional tips to help students manage testing anxiety. Enjoy, share with friends and colleagues, and let me know what you think! XO ~ Athea PS.

Happy Day, Friends! On Episode 9 of Mindful Living with Athea Davis, I talk about how yoga can grow and stretch your mind (kid friendly, too!). We take a closer look at yoga beyond what you see on the yoga mat in a studio. I discuss two of the eight limbs (or stages) of yoga that have a powerful impact on altering your restless mind state and can transform your pain and struggle to a place of joy and authentically empowered living. Each day. And, in every way. I also share some practical tips to help you and yours grow and stretch your mind so you can spread your joy and sparkle in the world (and, yes, you'll get a strong body, too). XO ~ Athea PS.

Happy Day, Friends! On Episode 8 of Mindful Living with Athea Davis, I talk about modeling the behavior we want to see in others. It's a powerful tool and way of life! People learn so much from the way we behave instead of the things we actually say. This is especially true for our kids and students! Behavior is the way we express our thoughts and emotions. If you wonder why you say the same thing over and over again to your kids and nothing sticks, check if your behavior is aligning with your words. In this episode I share 5 (five) ways to teach through behavior and start enjoying that sparkly connection you really desire with your kids or your students (and anyone else in your life!).

Happy Day, Friends! On Episode 6 of Mindful Living with Athea Davis I release part 2 of my interview with Marissa Ford, a second grade teacher in the Houston Independent School District. We continue our discussion of the struggles black students from low socio-economic backgrounds face in education today, particularly black women students in STEM programs (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), and how mindfulness can play a role in helping students self-regulate intense emotions and change negative thought patterns so they can create a more empowering story for themselves and their families. This is part 2 of a 2-part interview. To listen to part 1 of my interview with Marissa Ford go check out Episode 5. Happy listening! XO ~ Athea Connect with me on IG, FB, X, and LinkedIn: @atheadavis or www.atheadavis.com
