Meditation is the most important thing that I do for my daily wellness. I began meditating over a decade ago with a daily five-minute meditation, and I’ve been teaching meditation since 2020. It has changed my life, and I believe that if you approach meditation with an open mind that it can change yours as well.
In this replay from 2025, I’ll walk you through why meditation works for me, where to start if you think meditation might help you, and what a daily meditation and mindfulness practice can look like.
Be sure to stay until the end for a free guided meditation on rebuilding self worth to get you started!

I posted a reel last week about how I parent teens as a sober mom, and it led to a lot of important questions popping up in my DMs: Do my kids drink? What are my rules around drinking? Do I talk to my kids about alcohol?
There are so many things in midlife that feel ungrounding. Our bodies are changing in wildly uncomfortable ways. Our children are getting older (and maybe leaving the nest). We’re facing the reality of aging parents. And then there’s something that I hear so many women speak about: a persistent midlife itch that there is something more for us. A next chapter. A new calling. Yet, what exactly that ‘new thing’ is rarely feels clear. So today, we’re going to talk about it:
Jaemi Pierson is one of the most inspiring people I follow on Instagram, so I had to bring her wisdom straight to you on WithIn!
Last week I found myself in my closet, overcome by a heavy bout of The Sunday Scaries - It wasn’t anxiety about the approaching Monday, but anxiety about the entire fall season. After a beautiful summer focused on my family, the realities of the fall felt like too much to face.
