 Have you ever wondered what all the fuss is about meditation, or perhaps you've tried it once before, but you got too distracted wondering if you left the stove on and you never made it a habit? 

Well, that was exactly what I thought in the past, and in this episode I'm sharing with you the benefits of meditation and how to incorporate it into your busy life.

Research has shown that meditation can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while improving focus, productivity, and even sleep. But getting started can be daunting, especially for those of us with busy minds.

As someone with ADHD, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to quiet a racing mind. 

But with practice and patience, it's possible to reap the benefits of mindfulness.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • tips and tricks for starting a consistent meditation practice 
  • why it's so hard to start meditating in the first place 
  • practical advice to incorporate meditation and mindfulness into your daily life at work & home
  • my experience with starting and maintaining a meditation practice
  • the multitude of health benefits of meditation
  • my personal journey and results before and after meditating
  • how to deal with distractions as you try to quiet the mind
  • overcoming identity hang-ups around meditation

Whether you're a seasoned meditator or just getting started, this episode is for you
