#46 – The Power of Meditation with Our Dear Friend Doug - A Tribute

Send a textBefore we begin, we want to share something important.This episode originally aired when our close friend Doug was very much alive, sharing his perspective with the warmth and curiosity that defined him. At the time, none of us knew this conversation would become a memory we would one day hold so dearly.Doug is no longer with us, and that still feels unreal. He had a rare way of making people feel seen, bringing lightness even to heavy conversations, and reminding us that life is not about perfection, but presence.We are re-releasing this episode in honor of Doug. Not as a goodbye, but as a thank you.In this conversation, we talk with Doug, an experienced meditation practitioner and teacher, about the impact meditation has had on his life. He shares his journey into meditation, lessons from silent retreats, and practical guidance for anyone curious about starting a practice.If this is your first time hearing Doug, we hope you feel what we felt knowing him. If you have listened before, we hope you hear it differently this time.This one is for you, Doug. We love you.
