The Twenties Detox

Finding Light Through Darkness: A Journey of Meditation, Healing, and Resilience with Carey Brown


Listen Later

In this powerful and intimate episode, I sit down with my Auntie Carey to explore her transformative journey through meditation and healing. Carey shares how she discovered meditation during her divorce and how this practice, combined with therapy, helped her navigate grief, loss, and reclaim her power after an abusive marriage.

From primal screaming to finding "golden moments" throughout the day, Carey offers practical wisdom on releasing emotions and staying committed to yourself during difficult times. She discusses the dangers of social media during healing, explains why reprogramming takes time, and shares her current experience caring for a husband with dementia.

This conversation is filled with beautiful insights about focusing on light even in darkness, embracing change rather than resisting it, and practical techniques for letting thoughts go during meditation. Carey's journey reminds us that healing is possible, and that even through life's greatest challenges, we can find peace, purpose, and even joy.
