Meditation, Mindfulness + Self Care as a Parent w— Meryl Arnett

Welcome to the very first episode of the home—body podcast. My guest is Atlanta-based meditation teacher Meryl Arnett who shares with us about how meditation has changed her life and opened her up to new levels of intuition and creativity. 

As a business owner and a parent, Meryl also shares about embracing your limitations and what becomes available when you stop trying to do it all. 

We discuss:

• Why even a spiritual business has to run as a business
• Juggling motherhood, entrepreneurship and a personal meditation practice  
• Learning to value stillness + how to get okay with being uncomfortable.
• How to value community over competition as a small business owner 
• How you (+ your business) can't be everything to everyone.
• Appreciating mental diversity and different ways to meditation depending on your neurochemistry
• The evolution of self care + productivity after becoming a parent
• The challenges of postpartum depression + anxiety
• Why work-life balance needs a re-frame 
• How to address the fear of saying "No" + embrace your limitations
• How meditation has opened her up to becoming a more mystical person

NOTE: As with all things new there is a technological learning curve. In post-production, we found that the mic picked up some static from somewhere, and we eliminated it as best we could. But Meryl's thoughts were so good that I still wanted to share the episode through moments of imperfect sound.
