Show Notes

I've been increasingly interested in the topic of meditation over the past year and have been waiting for the right guest to kickstart the conversation. Recently, I came across Jimmy Wightman, also known as That Meditation Guy on Instagram. Based in the UK, he is a well-respected meditation and mindfulness teacher. I've been following Jimmy's work for quite some time, and I believe the time is right to have him as a guest on the podcast.

Episode Highlights:

  • What is the goal of meditation and why should someone meditate?
  • Setting yourself up for success in meditation
  • Mindfulness and meditation: what comes first?
