25 SEP 2023 · We are sure you’ve heard that meditation and other mindfulness activities are good for you. However, it can be difficult to know how to meditate or find the time to add this ritual into your daily routine. Because of the many misconceptions around mindfulness, we wanted to talk to an expert in making meditation convenient, accessible, and effective. In this episode, we chat with Suze Yalof Schwartz, the Founder and CEO of the Unplug Meditation App and the world's first drop-in secular meditation studio. She is also the author of Unplug: A Simple Guide To Meditation for Busy Skeptics and Modern Soul Seekers. In 2012, Suze learned a three-minute meditation that changed her life forever. Prior to this, she was a fashion editor and "makeover guru" working at Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire and Glamour Magazine with regular appearances on GMA, The Today Show, CBS Early Show, and more. Once she discovered meditation, she was determined to keep doing it but could not find a place to easily learn and practice. After taking hundreds of hours of classes, reading every book possible, and listening to podcasts and lectures from the world's most famous meditation teachers, Suze realized that meditation needed a makeover and she was the one to do it. Suze's mission is to make meditation simple, accessible, powerful and interesting enough so that everyone will want to practice it and experience the benefits for themselves.
