In this episode of Choices Unfiltered, we sit down with Caroline Heffernan, a recent Saint Joseph’s University graduate and Prevention Academy’s Social Media Manager. Together, we explore Caroline’s popular mini-series “Mindfulness Mondays,” the power of being present, and how simple mindfulness practices can support healthier choices. Caroline also opens up about her personal use of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills — sharing relatable stories and practical tools that can help anyone navigate stress, big emotions, and everyday challenges. It’s an honest, engaging conversation about mental wellness, prevention, and finding small ways to take care of ourselves.
