ADVICE

ANECDOTE

Intended Meditation Routine That Never Started

  • Lindsay intended to restart daily meditation but hasn't managed to despite knowing it helps her anxiety.
  • She meditated regularly before coaching when her kids were young, but hasn't carved out time in the last 1–2 years.
INSIGHT

  • Ignore metrics unless you're actively working a growth strategy; numbers shouldn't dominate attention by default.
  • Lindsay discovered she's nearly at 1 million downloads only because she logged into Libsyn to update billing, not by tracking stats.
