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.
