(gas hisses) (button clicks) (ethereal music) Headspace Studio. Just because a relationship ends, it doesn't mean it's a failure. It can open up other possibilities and that's where reconnecting with yourself comes in. (mellow music) Have you ever wished you had a wise meditation teacher on speed dial? Someone you can call after a long day. Someone you could lean on for their advice. Someone to listen and help you to see things differently. Welcome to "Dear Headspace." Hello everyone. I am so excited to be here for another episode of "Dear Headspace," a podcast where I sit down with a Headspace meditation teacher and we answer your questions about family relationships and sometimes how to get into them and sometimes how to get out of them. And I am Robin Hopkins and I am here today with the Eve. Hello, Eve. Hello, Robin. Is that too much- Am I your the Robin. The Robin. That's too associated with like Batman.
