🎙️ Episode 1 — Meditation Is Not What You Think
Forget the incense and lotus clichés. This episode dives into the real nature of meditation—from the ancient Yogic roots of Dharana and Dhyana, to the modern science of neuroplasticity and cognitive training.

I break down what meditation actually is, what enlightenment might mean through the yogic lens, and how it functions as a mental gym—a place to stretch, shape, and sharpen the mind.

You’ll also hear why most approaches to meditation fall short, how I use it in high-performance coaching, and what’s really happening in the brain when we sit still and go deep.

🧠💥 If you're tired of spiritual fluff and want something with depth, clarity, and edge—this one’s for you.
