Dr. Jon Kole is the Medical Director and Senior Director of Psychiatry at Headspace, which calls itself "the mental health app for every moment." From guided meditations to one-on-one coaching, the Headspace team of clinical experts and trained coaches work to offer science-backed care.

He's joining us today to explore how mindfulness and meditation can help us navigate life's challenges, whether we're dealing with disaster recovery or everyday stress.

New research shows even small amounts of mindfulness practice can significantly reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Dr. Kole will help us understand the science behind these findings and share practical ways to build resilience through mindfulness.

Whether you're processing the trauma of a disaster, supporting others through crisis, feeling very much out in the cold, so to speak, or simply looking for ways to better handle life's daily pressures, this conversation offers hope and practical tools to help you love your nervous system.
