Meditation and mindfulness are amazing tools for extricating yourself from the mire of over-thinking, worry, and anxiety. ~Barrie Davenport
I first learned about Barrie Davenport’s work when I picked up her book, Peace of Mindfulness. Very quickly, I could tell that she had put together a powerful and well-researched resource on mindfulness for the modern practitioner.
And more than that, the Peace of Mindfulness transmits her obvious passion and commitment to living in the present moment and getting the most out of life. In the book, her tone and approach is refreshingly pragmatic because she grounds her work in science and offers only proven approaches to change and transformation.
In her own words, Barrie is a personal growth seeker, published author, and certified coach committed to helping people shift their thinking, create positive new habits, and build lifetime confidence.
She creates online courses on her popular website, Live Bold & Bloom, that help thousands of people around the world with practical strategies for personal development. She offers scientifically supported, proven techniques for real, quantifiable change.
Live Bold & Bloom is a powerful tool for living a better life. Barrie walks the walk, and knows how to simplify complex problems with actionable, easy steps. ~ Leo Babauta, Zen Habits
Barrie spent over 20 years as a public relations executive in Atlanta and New York, helping her clients achieve their own passions by promoting their success. At midlife, she knew she needed a change and took a leap of faith, leaving her successful public relations career to find her true passion.
