Better mental health starts with Headspace

(bright music) Headspace Studios. Hey friends, the "Dear Headspace" crew is off this week enjoying some long weekend holiday action, but we could never leave our community high and dry, so here is an encore of one of our early episodes with Dora. Enjoy and we'll be back with a new episode next week. (upbeat music) Have you ever wished you had a wise meditation teacher on speed dial? Someone you can call after a long day. Someone you could lean on for their advice. Someone to listen and help you to see things differently. Welcome to "Dear Headspace." Good day, friends. Here we are for another episode of "Dear Headspace," a podcast where I sit down with one of our meditation teachers and we answer your questions about career, relationships, mindfulness, pretty much any question that is on your mind. I'm Robin Hopkins and today I'm gonna get into it with Dora. Hi, Dora. Hi, hi, hi, hi. I'm so glad you're here today. Me too. Fresh off a marathon. You did a marathon. I did, I did a half marathon and I did a full marathon, is it three weeks now? That's crazy. This time, but- Like, I don't even wanna drive my car 26 miles. Like that's, (Dora laughing) that's a lot.

And now I am gonna change the subject a little because at this point, Dora, you must have heard some of the other teachers talking, 'cause we've been doing this thing where we've been asking rapid fire questions to get to know you guys a little bit better. And- Yes. I don't know if you're aware, but you're the last one and it's your turn. Oh, okay. No pressure. No pressure. (laughing) All right, here we go. What movies make you cry? Ooh, "Interstellar" made me cry. Really? That's the only movie that's ever made me cry. Wait a minute. What? Yeah. That's the only movie that's ever made you cry? Only movie that's ever made me cry. Why did, okay, why did it make you cry? It just, it really pierced my heart. (laughing) Oh my God. And maybe it was just a time in my life that I watched that movie, but it was very emotional. Okay, what irrational fear do you have? Oh, this is kind of sad. I had this fear actually this morning after finding out about the death of that young boy, I think it's in Kansas, Missouri.
