Marijke McCandless: Mindfulness Coach and Joy Seeker

I met Marijke McCandless, author of Naked in the Now: Juicy Practices for Getting Present through my work at Chanticleer Book Reviews. She is a mindfulness coach and is one of the joyful people I’ve met. Her book, Naked in the Now, is about joyfulness and finding our way back to what brings us joy after years of focusing on everything but the things that bring us joy.

McCandless won the Mind & Spirit CIBA award from Chanticleer Book Reviews and you can check out the interview I conducted with her by clicking—
