Christine Kanalis and Sarah Leibhart

Fan Mail Goes Here!!

In this episode, Chris and Sarah discuss meditation, duality, and why trying harder isn’t always the answer.

They explore what it really means to “do it wrong,” how effortlessness often matters more than effort, and why awareness, not perfection, is the goal.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with meditation (or life in general), this conversation will feel familiar.
