#77. Why We Need to Sit With Our Thoughts, Exercise Diaphragmatic Breathing, and Expand Our Understanding of Mental Health— Andrea Rumler, LLPC

"And this became the saying of the summer, 'sit with it.' Sit with it, please. Like we don't always have to make decisions based on what we're feeling right now, we don't always have to react. So we can just sit with it. If something's really bothering you, if you're really happy, sit with it for a minute and just soak that in." - Andrea Rumler, LLPC

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More.

This week’s guest is Andrea Rumler.

Andrea is a licensed clinical counselor, yoga teacher, and golf coach.

She has a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and comes with a wealth of knowledge around spirituality, psychology, philosophy, wellness, and social justice.

In this week’s episode, Andrea shares her surprising but inspiring journey into yoga, as well as some of the biggest lessons it taught her.

We also discuss the importance of living in alignment with values and noticing our thoughts and feelings (without judgment).
