In this episode of Pain to Power host Jill Ripley welcomes Andy Kelley — also known as The Boston Buddha. Andy is a meditation teacher and mindfulness coach whose mission is to make meditation simple, accessible, and practical for everyday life.

Andy shares his journey from a high-pressure career in television to teaching mindfulness in schools, corporations, and one-on-one coaching. You’ll discover how meditation can:

Reduce stress and anxiety
Improve sleep and focus
Help you handle grief and trauma with more balance
Bring mindfulness into parenting, relationships, and busy lifestyles

Jill also shares how Andy’s class over a decade ago planted the seed for her own meditation practice, which became a vital tool in her sobriety and healing journey.

✨ If you’ve ever thought “meditation isn’t for me,” this heartfelt conversation will inspire you to start small and discover the power of presence.
