Meditation Made Simple: Building Resilience and Embracing Your Busy Mind w/ Light Watkins

What if meditation wasn’t about battling your busy mind but learning how to work with it? In this episode of Resonate, I sit down with Light Watkins — Keynote Speaker, Best-Selling Author, & Mindfulness Expert - to uncover how meditation can help us move from reactivity to responsiveness, unlock creativity, and build resilience in the face of daily pressures.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why negative thoughts during meditation are actually a sign of progress, not failure.
• How to shift from discomfort to delight in your practice.
• The difference between reacting and responding—and why it matters.
• Practical ways to make meditation sustainable and enjoyable.
• How cultivating stillness leads to more adaptability, presence, and creativity in everyday life.

Whether you’ve tried meditation before and struggled, or you’re curious to explore it for the first time, this conversation offers accessible insights to help you make meditation part of your daily rhythm.
