The broadway star turned famous meditation teacher radiates positivity, generously gives out hugs and avidly answers questions about meditation, nutrition, and gratitude. I met Emily at the Bulletproof Biohacking Conference a couple of months ago and wanted to have her on the Flowgrade Show ever since then. This episode definitely is one of my favorite so far and I really hope you’ll enjoy it.   In this episode, Emily and I talk about her journey from Broadway Showgirl to Meditation Teacher, why monks prefer mindfulness meditation, and why you should avoid chanting certain mantras all day long (hint: you might give away your car keys). You will also learn how being grateful changes your brain chemistry, why you should never drink coffee before your meditation, and an easy technique to calm your monkey mind in an emergency.   This is a great one! Have fun and thank you for listening!
