In this heartwarming episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Farina Ghani, a wellness champion, qigong practitioner, and meditation expert. Farina’s mission revolves around facilitating meaningful self-discovery through breathwork, somatic movement, and mindfulness practices. With a unique background that started in ballet and evolved into corporate strategy, she now focuses on guiding both adults and children toward emotional well-being.

Our Conversation Highlights:

Mindfulness as a life skill for children
Parent-Child bonding through breathwork
The connection between breath and behavior
Breaking the cycle of perfectionism and academic pressure
Mindfulness in schools and beyond

As someone who works with both children and adults, Farina reminds us that mindfulness is for everyone. Adults, too, can benefit from the same breathwork practices—especially in moments of overwhelm. She encourages families to adopt small, consistent practices that will benefit both parents and children alike, fostering emotional health for the entire household.

I found this conversation particularly inspiring, as I think about the kind of parent I want to be in the future. Farina’s gentle wisdom on cultivating emotional resilience from a young age really resonated with me, and I loved her practical approach to teaching children how to slow down, breathe, and express their emotions.

Thank you so much for tuning in to this special episode. If you found value in our discussion, please share it with friends or family—especially those raising children or planning to have kids. And if you enjoyed the episode, I’d be so grateful if you could give the podcast a five-star rating!

Until next week, take good care, breathe deeply, and I’ll see you for another meaningful conversation on The Listening Well Podcast. 🌿
