On Your Mind with Dorsey Standish

Episode 6 -- A Mindfulness Journey (with Calvert Collins-Bratton)

Dorsey Standish Season 1 Episode 6

Calvert Collins-Bratton discusses her journey into mindfulness, inspired by Dorsey Standish and influenced by the practices of an Indian colleague. A mother of three, a community leader and the Chief Relationships Officer at Communities Foundation of Texas, Calvert emphasizes the power of practicing mindfulness in her everyday life. Whether it’s using a meditation pillow or employing phone-free moments in the office and at home, Calvert uses mindfulness tools to recalibrate, prioritize and recenter on what matters most to her. Brave decisions, Calvert says, make ripples into all areas of her life and that practicing mindfulness allows us all to focus on the importance of lifelong brain health and not just when something is wrong.
