In conversation with Natalie Bedard, founder of 'Lift OneSelf', we explore how she bravely fought a life-threatening illness and raised her children solo.

Listen as Natalie dissects her passion for helping others maximize their potential through incremental growth and transformation. Witness her lead listeners through a restorative meditation session—a testament to her compassionate, empowering approach towards helping others comprehend their unique experiences.

Natalie narrates her journey into meditation's soothing grasp following a series of unidentified neurological issues. She attributes a significant reduction of her trauma's energetic intensity to Transcendental Meditation and provides guidance for listeners on how to achieve tranquility in chaos by living purely in the moment.

She emphasizes the cruciality of self-care, stressing the importance of tending to individual needs by constantly engaging in mind-enriching practices such as meditation. Parents are especially urged to incorporate self-care into their schedules to build personal wellness and resilience.

Natalie also offers vital insights on accommodating the unique needs of neurodiverse individuals, be it sensory sensitivity, the need for movement, or a secure space to vent emotions. She suggests empathic ways of handling children's intense emotions, fostering a safe environment for expression.

The episode concludes with an invitation for listeners to visit Natalie’s website 'liftoneself.com' for further guidance on meditation practices. The host, April, ends on a hopeful note, encouraging listeners to remain steadfast in their journey, no matter the hurdles they face.
