## Resource

If you've ever sat down to meditate and felt like you were failing at it, this episode is for you. In this special episode, I read a section from my new book, Stuck Not Broken Book Three, on why most people are meditating wrong — and what to do instead. We'll get into: What meditation actually is through a nervous system lens Why "clearing your mind" misses the point entirely How rejecting the present moment sabotages your practice Why quality matters far more than quantity What realistic, incremental progress looks like Meditation isn't about forcing your thoughts to stop or sitting still for 30 minutes. It's about connecting with your internal experience of the present moment — whatever it brings. 📘 Get Stuck Not Broken Book Three (and books one and two): https://stucknotbroken.com/books 🌸 Not sure which stuck state you're in?
