Season 2, Episode 50 - Special Guest Stephanie Wagner

Do you find yourself struggling with meditation? Many think that meditating is a thought-free experience, one in which your mind is fully cleared... When, in fact, meditating is actually supposed to help bring awareness to your thoughts, perceptions and daily experiences.

Today I am joined by board-certified health coach and meditation teacher, Stephanie Wagner, to discuss how her work with the nonprofit Healthy Minds Innovations is helping promote mental health by translating science into tools to cultivate and measure well-being. We also dive into the common misconceptions and difficulties with mediation, the importance of tuning into your own style of mediation, and how mediation can help you cope with your day-to-day life in a positive, thoughtful way.

You can learn more about Healthy Minds Innovations on their website, hminnovations.org, or by downloading their app Healthy Minds Program.
