Hey y’all.

Today I’m talking with Katy Rexing, a meditation teacher, podcast host, chef, mother of four, yogi, and lifelong student of what it actually means to feel well.

Katy shares how she went from holding everything together on the outside while feeling like a total hot mess on the inside, to building a daily meditation practice that helped her come back to herself.

We talk about people pleasing, self-abandonment, motherhood, grief, rituals, signs, spirituality, and why meditation is not about becoming some perfectly calm person in white linen on a cushion.

It is about noticing your mind, creating space before you react, and letting that tiny pause change the way you show up in your real, very human life.

Highlights:

(05:37) - Katy shares how being the “good girl” shaped her early choices

(07:52) - The picture-perfect life that felt very different on the inside

(10:05) - How five minutes of meditation became the foundation for real change

(24:05) - Why Katy meditates in her closet, because the perfect peaceful corner is not always available

(30:45) - The biggest misconception about meditation and what to do when your mind wanders

(37:00) - Why meditation matters most in the way you show up off the cushion
