What does it really mean to be free?

In this episode of Unblocked, I sit down with Caverly Morgan—spiritual teacher, author, nonprofit founder, and one of 2025’s most powerful women in the mindfulness movement. With a background that includes eight years in a silent Zen monastery and the creation of the nation’s first for-credit mindfulness program in public high schools, Caverly brings profound wisdom to the conversation on awakening, belonging, and liberation.

Together, Jessica and Caverly explore:

  • How Caverly’s SNAP framework helps us notice and disidentify from the stories that keep us stuck
  • What she learned from eight years of monastic life and how those lessons translate into everyday modern living
  • The power of neti neti (“not this, not this”) and the realization that we are more than our thoughts, emotions, or identities
  • Why true freedom isn’t something to achieve but something you can never lose... your very being

This conversation is a grounding, soul-expanding reminder that you are not separate from life, love, or truth. You’ve never left home.
