Welcome to 'Healthy Mind, Healthy Life.' I'm your host Avik, and today, we have an incredible guest with us, Marijke McCandless. Marijke is an award-winning author, mindfulness coach, and playfulness instigator, who believes in the transformative power of getting present and shedding inhibitions. Her upcoming book, 'Naked in the Now: Juicy Practices for Getting Present,' delves into the value of knowing our inner selves better and the freedom that comes with being truly present. In a world often masked by self-improvement efforts, Marijke guides us on a journey to embrace vulnerability and discover our inherently imperfect yet wholly lovable selves. Marijke's personal journey through challenges like infidelity and childhood trauma has fueled her passion for helping others break free from the armor of thoughts and beliefs. She encourages us to embark on an inner striptease, taking off what might be 'weighing' us down and uncovering the juicy potential of getting naked in the now. I'm thrilled to have Marijke here today to share her insights on mindfulness, playfulness, and the art of being present. Marijke, welcome to the show!   ----more----   STAY CONNECTED     Stay Tuned And Follow Us!   Website - https://podhealth.club  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/newandnew/  Linkedin Page - https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthythinking  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/podhealth.club/  Threads - https://www.threads.net/@podhealth.club  Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ Medium - https://medium.com/@contentbyavik YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylife Apple Link -https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1682799672?mt=2&ls=1 Spotify Link - https://open.spotify.com/show/2OyTVoxlFYlAss63FLaHnL?si=cd572a909bff4e4d   JOIN OUR INITIATIVE GLOBALLY     Share Your Story - https://forms.gle/qnykk1Vb6VczrkcF8   (Share your impactful story for my podcast, Instagram, and YouTube.
