- with Katy Rexing - Meditation, Messy Motherhood, and Coming Home to Yourself

Hey y’all. Today I’m talking with Katy Rexing, a meditation teacher, podcast host, chef, mother of four, yogi, and lifelong student of what it actually means to feel well. Katy shares how she went from holding everything together on the outside while feeling like a total hot mess on the inside, to building a daily meditation practice that helped her come back to herself. We talk about people pleasing, self-abandonment, motherhood, grief, rituals, signs, spirituality, and why meditation is not about becoming some perfectly calm person in white linen on a cushion. It is about noticing your mind, creating space before you react, and letting that tiny pause change the way you show up in your real, very human life. Highlights: (05:37) - Katy shares how being the “good girl” shaped her early choices (07:52) - The picture-perfect life that felt very different on the inside (10:05) - How five minutes of meditation became the foundation for real change (24:05) - Why Katy meditates in her closet, because the perfect peaceful corner is not always available (30:45) - The biggest misconception about meditation and what to do when your mind wanders (37:00) - Why meditation matters most in the way you show up off the cushion Connect with Katy: [Katy's website](www.katyrexing.com) Katy's Instagram Listen to Katy's WithIn Podcast HERE Qualia Mind - click here Coupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase) Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.com Grab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.com Find Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciacca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eA Practice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.
