About this episode

Several years ago, a listener asked me to break down my meditation habit. I almost didn't do it. Why? Because there's so much info on meditation out there already! But then I remembered how much I resisted meditation at first and this episode was born. If you've struggled to see the value in meditation or worry you're not 'doing it right,' take a listen. You'll walk away with some extra motivation to try it, plus five easy steps to add this practice to your life.
