In this episode, Sara sits down with Christiana, the Training Sales Manager and Certification Specialist at the HeartMath Institute (HMI) a pioneering non-profit organization that’s been at the forefront of researching heart-based tools and technologies to improve emotional well-being, performance, and human connection. A passionate advocate for heart intelligence, Christiana shares her personal journey to HeartMath and how its science-backed approach to resilience and coherence deeply transformed her own path.

They discuss heart coherence, heart intelligence, and even practice a tool that you can use to increase your capacity for resilience.
