We’re Melissa and J. A. Plosker and we believe that mindfulness is the ultimate gateway to truly effective self-care.

We all want to feel our best, and for us, that means starting with this moment. At Moving Toward Mindful, we share our stories of how we are doing just that; trying to incorporate mindfulness as often as possible in our work-filled, family-centered, post-pandemic lives.

We’ll share tips and tools that we use to help us manage our stress and anxiety in the quest to achieve more balance and peace.

Join us LIVE on Instagram every Monday night at 6pm Pacific, 9pm Eastern @movingtowardmindful!

Join us live on IG where we hang out and chat about ways we used mindfulness during the previous week, and set our intentions for the week ahead – all while our 5 year old runs amok in the background. We apologize for the occasional, “MOM!” from the bathroom and/or Disney medley you may hear at any time (usually when we start to get too serious).

We’d love to see you there!

Not big on social media, but still want to journey with us?

We’ll send you fun and informative mindfulness tips and our personal stories. No spam, we promise.
