We all have plans for how we think our day should unfold. Then life happens. A meeting runs late, the weather changes, someone cancels, our body has different plans, or an unexpected challenge appears.

In this episode, we explore one of the most practical lessons meditation has taught me: while we can’t always control what happens, we can learn to meet life’s unexpected moments with greater awareness and steadiness. Together, we’ll look at the difference between what happens and our reaction to it, followed by This Week’s Gentle Practice and a short guided meditation to help you soften around life’s inevitable changes.

Because peace doesn’t come from everything going according to plan—it often begins with learning how to meet the moment we’re actually living.

If you’d like more personalized guidance in your meditation practice, I offer one-on-one mentoring.

You’re also welcome to join my free Skool community where we explore meditation together.

And if you’d like a simple library of guided practices you can return to anytime, my Audio Meditation Library on Palette is available for $5 a month.
