Join host Jordan Spry as he talks with happiness expert, psychologist and presenter Zoe Mallett, and Megan Corless, Head of Colleague Experience at Brook Street, about what mindfulness actually is, and share practical tips on how you can be more present, set boundaries and reduce the constant overstimulation we face in our daily lives - and especially at work.
