  • How to Meditate Even If You Think You Can't
    Sep 26 2024
    Does any part of you feel like you can't meditate? Maybe you're thinking, "I'm doing it wrong," or "I can’t seem to quiet my mind," or perhaps you're feeling like, "I don’t even know where to begin?" Well, you’re definitely not alone. These thoughts are common, and I’m here to share 10 simple, approachable tips that have the power to change your meditation practice and, ultimately, your life.

    Whether you're new to meditation or have been practicing for a while, these fundamentals will support you in cultivating a practice that works for you.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. The Mind Will Wander – Accept it, don’t fight it.
    2. There’s No Right or Wrong Way to Meditate – Every meditation style is valid.
    3. Start Small and Build – You don’t need to meditate for an hour. Start with a few minutes.
    4. Try Different Types of Meditation – Explore guided, breath-focused, or mantra meditations to find what resonates with you.
    5. Find Your Cozy Spot – Make sure you’re comfortable, whether that’s sitting, lying down, or wrapped in a blanket.
    6. Use Your Breath as an Anchor – When your mind drifts, gently return to your breath.
    7. Designate a Sacred Space and Time – Build a routine for meditation, and your mind will adjust to it.
    8. Give Yourself Grace – Meditation is a practice; it’s normal to find it challenging at first.
    9. Pause Before Your Next Task – Give yourself time to ease back into the day after meditation.
    10. Stretch Before Meditating – Prepare your body for the stillness of meditation by releasing tension.

    Sep 20 2024




    Tired of hearing the same wellness advice that just doesn’t seem to work? In this episode, I’m uncovering the unpopular truth about wellness that rarely gets talked about. We’re constantly told that journaling, affirmations, or spending time in nature will magically fix everything—but what if that’s not your path?

    I’m here to reveal the real secret to wellness that no one shares. I’ll explain why those popular methods didn’t work for me and what truly helped me break free from survival mode. It’s time to stop chasing trends and start discovering your own unique path to wellness.

    No quick fixes, no magic wands—just real talk and practical ways to find what works for you. Let’s explore your secret sauce together.
