*Today’s episode is sponsored by my friends over at Simple Habit, the creators of one of the coolest and most effective meditation apps I’ve ever used. You guys know I love meditation. I talk about it on the podcast ALL the time, I bring on guests who share different meditation practices, and I’ve used and tried so many different meditations myself. Every day in fact I meditate because, well, I just love it that much! I’ve tried dozens and dozens of apps, mp3s, and programs in the past but I’ve got to say Simple Habit is right at the top of the list for favorite ways to meditate. Simple Habit has hundreds of meditations available for free and thousands with their premium subscription. And there’s over 100+ experts on these meditations so you don’t get tired or bored with hearing the same voice over and over. And one of the things I love most about Simple Habit is that they have specific meditations for specific problems such as getting over stress, focusing better, helping you go to sleep, kickstarting your morning, and so much more. It’s not like so many other meditations that can quite frankly get old and tiresome really fast, Simple Habit has SO many different things to do and it keeps you very engaged and wanting to do more. Not to mention they also have cool walking meditations, commuting meditations, work meditations, and even meditations for when you have to do the dishes! And, did I mention, many of these meditations are short and to the point, taking up only about 5 minutes of your time! Yup, Simple Habit is truly a game-changer in the meditation space!
