Hey friend, with the new year right around the corner, I know we're all ready to live our lives a little more powerfully.

And since you're a wake-me-up listener, you already know how important and life-changing meditation can be,

which is why I'm taking this opportunity to share another show made by one of my friends that I think you'll really like.

It's called Morning Meditation for Women.

Every single morning, my friend Katie, leads you through a short, powerful, guided meditation

that will leave you feeling light and whole, ready to make the most of your day.

And the daily episodes make it easy to establish

or restart a meditation practice. So if you're looking for something else in addition to wake

me up, I'd really recommend morning meditation for women. And Katie has been kind enough to offer a sample

of one of her episodes for me to share with you all,

which will begin in just a moment.

If you enjoy it, then just search for morning meditation for women and your preferred podcast player.

Now, I'll hand the mic over to Katie for this meditation entitled Five Minutes to Calm.

Good morning, beautiful.

Today's theme is calm.

Calm. Relax and welcome to this new day.

A chance for a fresh beginning.

A chance to be present.

A chance for you to live vibrantly and freely,

tapping into it all here in this magical breath.

So find your breath and follow its rhythm within you.

Breathing in, breathing out,
