There seems to be a decline in resilience, you know, a decline in the capacity to manage the natural, normal difficulty of young adulthood, and yeah, and it's everywhere you know there's.
Ever wondered how mindfulness can make a difference in the lives of young adults? In this episode, Dr. Marcia Sirota sits down with Holly Rogers, M.D., a psychiatrist and co-founder of the Center for Koru Mindfulness. Holly shares her journey in developing Koru, an evidence-based program designed to teach mindfulness and meditation to college-age adults. As a psychiatrist at Duke University's student counseling center, Holly brings firsthand experience in helping students integrate mindfulness into their daily routines.
The conversation covers the unique challenges faced by emerging adults, including the pressures of helicopter parenting and the stress of navigating early adulthood. Holly explains how mindfulness can serve as a powerful tool for managing anxiety and building resilience. She also delves into the science behind meditation, discussing how it can rewire the nervous system and improve mental flexibility. If you're curious about how mindfulness can help young people lead healthier, more balanced lives, this episode is a must-listen.
Holly's insights are not only practical but also deeply empathetic, making this discussion both informative and inspiring. Whether you're a young adult yourself or someone supporting one, you'll find valuable takeaways to apply in everyday life.
