Have you ever tried meditating but couldn’t make it past 5 minutes without thinking about your dog or what’s for dinner? We have good news from today’s guest, Megan Monahan, who says meditation doesn’t have to look one way—and ANYONE can create an impactful practice that works just for them.


In this episode you’ll learn: 

* How to actually redirect your thoughts

* Secrets to creating a consistent practice

* How to find your style of meditation

* Practical ways to bring mindfulness into your life

* How to transform stress and anxiety

* And more….


Meditation expert, mindset coach and best-selling author Megan Monahan is passionate about making meditation accessible and relatable. Her goal is to infuse a modern-day “realness” into the all too often esoteric landscape of meditation. Since learning to meditate in 2009 with Deepak Chopra and becoming a Chopra-certified instructor, she has taught thousands to meditate through her platform.


As a mindset coach and meditation guide, Megan is a senior educator at Unplug Meditation, works with brands like Asics, Goop, Chopra, Lululemon, Wix, Sweetgreen, Netflix and Facebook, and with clients internationally, always bringing her spiritual real talk. Her first book, Don’t Hate, Meditate was published in 2019 by TenSpeed Press.
