S2 Ep. 13: Nuance, Mindfulness & Being Human with Paige Smathers

Paige Smathers, Nutrition Therapist and owner of Positive Nutrition™, joins HeartSpace Podcast for an episode that is full of heart while also full of thought and soul. Inside, Paige and I talk nuance and remaining curious and non-judgmental – both professionally and personally. We explore mindfulness, suffering, and impermanence in relation to food and body, but also in relation to being human.
