Mind The Gaps Podcast
verb – surrendering our typical ways of looking at life, to step out of our comfort zone and into our growth zone.
Hosted by Kirsten Davidson, Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada – Mind The Gaps aims to spark curiosity about what we typically accept as facts regarding ourselves, others, and the world. By challenging our norms, we have the power to get ‘unstuck’ from the grip of our comfort zone and expand – limitlessly – into our growth zone. In this podcast, we hear about alternative approaches to navigating life itself and how these can positively impact our mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.
