What if your hardest crisis was the doorway to your calmest, most powerful life?

Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with Tom Cronin—meditation teacher, author, and creator of The Portal—to unpack how setbacks become catalysts and how mantra-based meditation transforms anxiety, burnout, and overload into clarity and flow. Hear Tom’s journey from stress and addiction to stillness, plus practical steps you can use today. You’ll learn how to:

• Reframe crisis → catalyst with a simple 3-stage path (seeker → finder → sharer)
• Start mantra meditation correctly (what a mantra is—and isn’t)
• Calm the nervous system fast for sleep, focus, and emotional balance
• Build a daily practice that’s pleasant, sustainable, and retention-proof
• Pair meditation with life (work, relationships, leadership, creativity)
• Explore retreats & workshops as accelerators for deep reset

Commit to 2×10 minutes of quiet mantra practice for the next 7 days and note shifts in sleep, mood, and focus.
