Join in the moment with Sarah Buffie as she guides you through the practice: Notice, Accept, Invite. 

Sarah Buffie, Founder of Soul Bird Consulting, shares a practice she uses to deepen the relationship with self. In order to show up in the lives of people that we care for and connect with, Sarah uses Notice, Accept, Invite to step into the moment by simply identifying feelings, body sensations, and thoughts and accepting these as they are, while also inviting support and care for any big emotions.

"How can I help??" It's a question that a lot of us spend time trying to answer. Sarah invites us to consider the answer to this question begins by turning inward. When we spend time first on deepening our understanding of a person and a situation before we go to fix, help, save, or plan, our approach can be more empathetic and effective. In this podcast she offers five simple ways to dig deeper, ask critical questions, and get curious about ourselves -- before jumping to strategies or tools.
