014 Unpacking Meditation For The Newbie With The Boston Buddha Andy Kelley:
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.
