Mindfulness for Writers Podcast Episode #1: Intro to Meditation

Welcome to the Mindfulness for Writers podcast. Before I started meditating, I was like HELL NO. I thought it would be impossible for my daydreaming, racing mind. I thought I'd be bored. I thought it was only for super chill people, not neurotic writing types. In this first episode of the Mindfulness for Writers podcast I quickly tell you what got me into meditation and throw out a few basic things you should know about meditation and beginning a practice. I talk about some of the benefits, the nitty gritty of what your meditation session will be like, and how to keep it up. Mostly, my hope is that, by the end of it, you will feel like you actually can meditate. I'm here to support you along the way.

Demystifies meditaiton. Great to learn that the moment when you catch your mind wandering and go back to the breath is the set point for meditation — not a moment to berate yourself.

This was a perfect blend of useful and personable. Much of what she says resonated with me and even though I’ve been meditating for years, I still found nuggets in this first episode that were helpful. Thank you! Will definitely be listening to other episodes of the podcast, and trying the meditations.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for sharing your gift 🙌

Incrediblely helpful and real. Love this! Thanks so much

I enjoyed this talk. The approach was refreshingly ‘real’ and sensible. Some good tips and insights. Thank you.
