Penelope focuses on helping women over the age of 45 to effectively integrate exercise, mindfulness and self-compassion into daily routines for optimal physical, mental and emotional health. Penelope conceived the idea of combining meditation sessions in gyms over 30 years ago but didn’t go ahead with it due to a crisis of confidence and having young children. After revisiting the idea several years later, Fit Healthy Grounded Women was born, with its flagship program – The Fit Tone Flex System.</p> Listen & Subscribe on: <a href='http://www.mindfulnessmode.com/ApplePodcast'>iTunes</a> / <a href='https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/mindfulness-mode'>Stitcher</a> / <a href='http://feed.mindfulnessmode.com/'>Podbean</a> / <a href='https://overcast.fm/itunes1032063236/mindfulness-mode-interviews-mindful-tips-with-bruce-langford'>Overcast</a> / <a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/5gwe3XCsyPLcLmCIkF2iS9'>Spotify</a> Contact Info <ul><li>Website: <a href='http://www.fithealthygroundedwomen.com/'>www.FitHealthyGroundedWomen.com</a></li> </ul> Most Influential Person <ul><li>My therapist</li> </ul> Effect on Emotions <ul><li>Now when I feel something, I name it; anxiety, sadness, anger, and there's a buffer, like a boundary, that has created a veil.
