Jeff shares his own path into meditation and Tai Chi, a journey that led him to create the Yielding Method: a practice that invites you to stop bracing and start softening—physically, mentally, emotionally. This isn’t about retreating from life; it’s about learning how to face it without clenching every muscle and thought along the way.
They talk about how anxiety and chronic pain feed off each other, how stillness isn’t laziness, and why meditation doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be practiced. From tiny daily rituals to full-body awareness, Jeff and Lyndsay break down the real-life tools that help people stop resisting what is and start creating space for what could be.
Tune in if your nervous system feels like it’s on overdrive and you’re ready to breathe again—on purpose.
