Empowering meditation teachers, coaches, creators & spiritual guides to make an authentic impact and meaningful income in the wellness & coaching industry. (And do it with integrity.)
I share this podcast as someone who quit a corporate job in 2015 to go full-time as a meditation teacher. It took me over four years to learn how to make my way and support myself financially. I’ve learned some things along the way and intend to help you navigate your spiritual, creative, & entrepreneurial journey.

I’ve learned some things along the way and intend to help you navigate your spiritual, creative, & entrepreneurial journey.

I sit down with Zen Master Henry Shukman and his nephew Jack Shukman to discuss the creation of The Way—a meditation app designed to guide users on a single path of practice toward awakening. We also reflect on the spiritual journey itself: the tension between longing and arrival, the beauty of staying with one path or teacher, and the intersection of business, integrity, and awakening in a modern world. As someone who’s been practicing with the app for months, this conversation was so fun!
Takeaways:
Why removing choice might deepen your meditation practice
How spiritual experiences can shake your life—and what helps integrate them
The behind-the-scenes decisions that shaped The Way app’s structure
Why the “next big spiritual moment” might not be what you actually need
The quiet power of lineage in a modern world.
