so guided.
Hosts, Jenny & Carissa were going about their busy lives as two successful business women in their chosen fields. Spirituality was the last thing on their minds. Until two years ago when s@!t hit the fan in both their lives rocking their beliefs and setting them on a quest to find answers to some existential questions. So. Many. Questions.
And then magic started happening.
This is their adventure exploring all the extraordinary ways we can connect to the universe. "So guided" is a one stop spiritual guide, sharing all the magical and mystical roads to your higher self. Come along each week as they investigate another spiritual modality and adventure through all the wild ways we can find high vibes, hope, and ultimately, enlightenment.

Meditation: Dare You to Try
In today’s episode of so guided, we talk about everybody’s favorite buzzword: meditation. While Jenny has integrated meditation into her daily routine, it has never been a practice that “sticks” for Carissa. If, like Carissa, you understand the amazing benefits of meditation but you're struggling to make it a meaningful habit, this is the episode for you! As you’ll discover, meditation is something that anyone can do, anywhere, anytime. Join us as we embark on a two-part conversation where Jenny shares some easy-to-follow resources, basic techniques for beginners, her advice for starting small, and the importance of “just showing up.” We also touch on how to stop making the kinds of excuses that often stop people from meditating, the many ways you can benefit from meditation, and more. Like anything new or unfamiliar, the more you practice, the more comfortable you’ll get and the easier it will be to make meditation a part of your daily routine.
