Meditation has been the best thing to happen to me in 2020. It almost brings me to tears writing this because I feel so grateful for today's guest as he single-handedly got me hooked. I did a 30-day meditation he offered through the Calm app and that helped me overcome my anxious thoughts and monkey brain. I'm excited for you to listen on my wonderful convo with meditation guru Jeff Warren.
Jeff is a meditation instructor, journalist, and author with a dynamic and accessible teaching style whose mission in life is to empower people to take responsibility for their own mental health. He is honest, funny, and, above all, passionate about destigmatizing meditation with his much more relaxed approach. You can find many of his meditations on Ten Percent Happier and his own website.
In this episode, Jeff shares a mini-meditation in which you are invited to participate.
