The Meditation Podcast Episode You’ve Been Waiting For

In this episode I finally got to have the conversation I’ve been craving for years. Jennie Monnies and I sat down to talk about meditation in the way I wish someone had talked to me when I first started. No mystique. No perfection. Just the real beginning. What meditation actually is, how it rewires us, and why it changes the way we show up as parents and as people.

I’ve spent so many years wanting someone to explain meditation in a way that felt human and doable. So I did it myself. I break down how the practice slowly reshapes the nervous system, how it teaches us to witness our thoughts instead of being yanked around by them, and how it softens those knee-jerk reactions that come flying out in the moments we’re triggered and don’t even know why. Motherhood especially has a way of showing you every unexamined corner of your inner world.

We both share our before and after stories, the ones that show how meditation gives you perspective on the narratives running in the background that you swear are “just the way you are.”

If you’re curious about meditation but feel intimidated or confused or even a little skeptical, this conversation is exactly where I’d want you to start. It’s the doorway I wish I’d had.
