Fan Mail Goes Here!!
In this episode, Sarah and Chris continue their deep-but-funny dive into Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics by Dan Harris and Jeff Warren, breaking down the real beginner questions people have about meditation... without pretending anyone is suddenly a calm monk.
They talk through meditation basics like:
Where to meditate (desk chairs, cars, ass pillows — all valid)Whether you’re allowed to move (spoiler: yes)Why lying down feels great but leads to napsHow long meditation actually needs to be (hint: not 30 minutes)Why “being bad at meditation” still worksAlong the way, they unpack one of the biggest mindset shifts meditation offers: realizing your brain voice is not you — and that inner critic might just be… kind of a jerk.
With plenty of laughs, real-life examples, and zero pressure to “do it right,” this episode is for anyone who’s curious about mindfulness but allergic to perfection.
