The Art & Business of Meditation
Empowering meditation teachers, coaches, creators & spiritual guides to make an authentic impact and meaningful income in the wellness & coaching industry. (And do it with integrity.)
I share this podcast as someone who quit a corporate job in 2015 to go full-time as a meditation teacher. It took me over four years to learn how to make my way and support myself financially. I’ve learned some things along the way and intend to help you navigate your spiritual, creative, & entrepreneurial journey.

5 Reasons You Should & Shouldn't Write a Book
In this episode, I explore the reasons for and against writing a book. I'll caution against it if the motivation is solely for income or credibility, or simply following a trend. I emphasize that writing should stem from a deep need to share a story or idea with the world. I highlight the enduring value of a book as a long-term asset that reflects personal growth and expertise. Sharing my own experiences, I illustrate the transformative and challenging journey of writing. Listen and discover your unique reasons for why you want to write a book.
