Cooking & Conversations: Foods to overcome Seasonal Depression & Tyra Gardner, therapist Tyra Gardner

The Holidays are a time to be merry but it can also be a time of stress and may trigger not so blissful emotions and that is okay. Ambrosia Kitchen presents Wellness Wednesdays during #DeliberateDecember.

Once a week be deliberate in taking a moment to take care of your best asset - YOU.

Tyra Gardner, CEO of Tyra S. Gardner Consulting & Art at A Moments Notice is partnering with us to bring her brand of "NotsoPsychotherapist." In other words, Tyra brings reality based approaches to deal with real life situations. Each week we will explore self- care with seasonal health tips and identify foods to help you settle into the stillness and calm of winter.
