Welcome to SEASON 4 of The Lively Show!

It feels wonderful to be back to sharing with you in real time as our journey together continues.

Before I introduce some very leading edge topics in Season 4, I want to begin by sharing a wonderful conversation about the power of meditation with Good Morning America anchor, Dan Harris. Dan is a previous war correspondent for ABC News, a podcaster (10% Happier), and is well known for having a panic attack on live TV.

That serendipitous panic attack, eventually led him to discover the power of mediation… despite his skepticism and distaste for the meditation community’s language, style, and public perception.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking to share the power mediation with skeptical friends or family members, or for anyone looking to overcome obstacles to meditation in their daily lives.
