Why weeLove Headspace:
"Mommy Brain" is a common condition that makes it hard to remember your own name or properly put away a gallon of milk. It peaks following the birth of a child and usually persists until they attend college.
Give your mommy (or daddy) brain a much-deserved break with Headspace. This iOS and Android app guides you through the practice of mindful meditation... in just ten minutes a day. Even the busiest new parent can and should treat themselves to that!
Sessions are led by Andy Puddicombe, a meditation and mindfulness expert. (Not only does he kind of sound like Jude Law, but we find his British accent to be instantly calming.) Science shows that this type of meditation leads to peace of mind in the moment and long-term stress management.
The app and first 10 sessions are free, with monthly and yearly subscriptions available. So, toss the to-do list aside, and take a few minutes to just... breathe.

I really love the little videos in the Headspace app. I find trying to meditate for a long period of time intimidating but I can totally manage a few minutes guided with my Headspace App. Apr 10, 2023

I have tried Headspace and Calm both. I definitely think Headspace is more user friendly. I also like that headspace gives you the option to do more calming activities than just listen to music. May 02, 2022

Helpful app to listen to before bed or when you need a break from the chaos of life with a toddler. You can choose the duration of the meditation, which is nice if you only have a few free minutes. Jun 08, 2018

I haven't made time to use it more. But I won't dare delete the app because I know I should use it more. Jan 09, 2018

This is the fastest way I have found to quiet my mind when I go to bed. Used to lie there for 45 mins while the wheels turned. Now thanks to this guided med., I'm out by minute 6. Awesome app! Aug 28, 2014
