In this episode of the Core Motivations podcast, host Michelle sits down with mindfulness educator and children’s wellness advocate Veronica Moya to unpack the wild ride of helping kids handle a complex world of emotions. Together, they explore why meditation works so well for kids, why it should be treated like everyday mental hygiene, and how starting young completely changes the way children grow into adulthood.This is a highly interactive episode where we move straight from theory into practice! Veronica guides listeners through a short, powerful meditation exercise you can follow along with right from your headphones. Then, the tables turn as Michelle guides Veronica through a live, mock Enneagram Coaching session based on her actual test results—mapping out her personal behavioral patterns, hidden motivations, and accidental blind spots right on air.
