Meditation isn’t about emptying your mind.

And if you’ve been trying to force silence, it might be why meditation feels frustrating instead of grounding.

In this episode of Wisdom From the Porch, we talk about what mindfulness actually asks of us — not a blank mind, but a noticing one. Especially for neurodivergent and millennial minds, stillness can feel loud, uncomfortable, or unsafe at first.

This isn’t about doing meditation “better.”
It’s about understanding what it’s really for — and why your thoughts were never the problem.
