What if the key to a more balanced life was as simple as learning to pause?

On Episode 129 of Opportunity Knocks by EmpowHer Purpose, I sit down with Suze Yalof Schwartz, Founder and CEO of the Unplug Meditation App and creator of the world’s first drop-in meditation studio, Unplug Meditation.

After a successful career in the fashion industry working with top publications, Suze experienced a life-changing moment through a simple meditation practice. That moment sparked a complete transformation—leading her to make meditation more accessible, modern, and practical for everyday life.

In this conversation, Suze and I explore how meditation can become a powerful tool for managing stress, building consistency, and creating calm in a fast-paced world. Suze also shares how she turned her vision into a global wellness brand—building the Unplug app from the ground up with no prior app development experience, driven purely by her mission to make meditation simple and accessible for everyone.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Suze’s journey from high-stress corporate life to meditation pioneer
• How simple daily practices can create lasting change
• The power of habit-building and consistency in wellness
• Why human connection is more important than ever in a digital world

This conversation is a reminder that even the smallest shifts—like a few minutes of stillness—can create meaningful transformation. When we slow down, build intentional habits, and reconnect with ourselves, we open the door to a calmer, more balanced life.
