Meditation doesn’t have to look like sitting cross-legged in silence with a perfectly calm mind. In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie breaks down what meditation actually is—and why most people think they’re “bad” at it when they’re not.

If you’ve ever tried to meditate and felt more distracted, restless, or frustrated, this conversation is for you. Julie walks you through a simple, real-life meditation practice designed for busy, overwhelmed humans who want more clarity, regulation, and confidence without adding another thing to their to-do list.

This episode reframes meditation as a nervous system skill, not a performance. You’ll learn how small moments of awareness can help you pause before reacting, quiet negative self-talk, and create space for braver, more aligned decisions.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why meditation feels hard for so many people (and why that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong)
• What meditation actually is—and what it’s not
• How meditation supports emotional regulation and confident decision-making
• A simple, guided meditation you can use anytime, anywhere
• Common meditation mistakes that keep people stuck
• How meditation helps you take braver moves without forcing confidence

This episode is perfect if you:

• Feel overwhelmed or overstimulated
• Struggle with overthinking or self-criticism
• Want practical tools to feel calmer and more grounded
• Are curious about meditation but don’t want anything complicated or woo-woo

Key Takeaway:

Meditation isn’t about stopping your thoughts. It’s about noticing them—and choosing how you respond. That pause is where confidence and courage begin.
