Show Notes

Eryl McCaffrey is a certified yoga + meditation instructor, mental health advocate, public speaker, and writer.

A former TV news anchor with a background in journalism and broadcasting, Eryl took a left-turn in her career to focus on her true calling: helping others navigate the muddy waters of mental health and providing strategies for self-care.  

"Holistic health is about taking care of your mental health the same way that you do your physical health."

Eryl brings her lived and learned experiences with anxiety and depression to schools, companies, and communities with her talks on mental health and mindfulness workshops where she provides tangible tools for dealing with life's stressors. 

In today's chapter of the Word Weaver Podcast, we talk about how to create mindful habits, the grounding effects of nature, the importance of taking breaks to move energy through your body, and setting boundaries to guard your writing time.

Be sure to stay tuned until the end as Eryl walks us through a wellness for writers guided meditation and breathing exercise. I almost fell asleep in the interview...in a good way! It gave me shivers and will definitely be one that I return to when I'm in need of a calming voice to soothe my writer's block, insomnia, or feelings of overwhelm. 

When she isn't bringing her Wellness with Eryl workshops to schools and corporations, you can find her teaching yoga at Good Space and SickKids Hospital in Toronto. 

She writes about mental health and wellness on her blog, Two Feet and a Heartbeat, as well as on Wellness with Eryl. Her article on Exploring Abundance with the Law of Attraction was published by Elephant Journal.
