  • [PREVIEW] of Meditation SUCKS! (if you don't practice it)
    Sep 26 2024

    Ever feel like life’s just one long to-do list with zero chill?

    Welcome to Meditation SUCKS, the podcast that brings you quick, easy meditations designed for real life—no chanting, no pretzel poses, and definitely no judgment.

    I’m Sebastian Rusk, your guide to finding calm in the chaos with just a few minutes of your day.

    Whether you’re stressed about that work deadline, stuck in traffic, or just need a break from your inner critic, we’ve got you covered.

    Each episode is a bite-sized meditation, perfect for anyone who’s new to this whole ‘sitting still’ thing—or anyone who could use a little peace without the woo-woo.

    We’ll breathe together, laugh a little, and remind you that you don’t have to be a monk on a mountaintop to feel zen.

    So, if you’re ready to unwind, relax, and maybe even crack a smile, hit subscribe and join me on Meditation SUCKS.

    Let’s face it—life’s noisy enough.

    It’s time to turn down the volume, take a breath, and chill out, one episode at a time.

    See you there!
