Mindful in Minutes || Kelly Smith
Short, weekly guided meditations (usually under 20 minutes) for stress, anxiety, and self-reflection, from a certified yoga and meditation teacher.
This is a solo-hosted podcast providing short, thematic guided meditations for a busy life. Episodes are typically 10-20 minutes and address specific needs like postpartum anxiety, insomnia, or seasonal events like the solstice. Host Kelly Smith also offers occasional longer "audio workshops" with journaling prompts and sometimes features guest interviews or guest-led meditations.
“The focus on short, highly specific meditations (e.g., "Postpartum Anxiety Relief") and the host's calm, grounded delivery. The occasional "audio workshop" format, which blends teaching with guided journaling, is also a unique feature.”
