S2 Trailer 2 Meditation to calm the mind: Dr. Theresa Lyons

What if just a few moments of stillness could change the way you move through your entire day? In this episode of **The Inner Practice**, Jackie Vandertuin sits down with **Dr. Theresa Lyons** to explore how meditation became an anchor during one of the busiest seasons of her life. Beginning her meditation practice while completing her PhD, Theresa shares how carving out intentional moments of quiet helped her manage stress, regulate her nervous system, and navigate the demands of work, motherhood, and everyday life. Together, they discuss the science and simplicity of meditation, the importance of starting the day from a place of calm rather than chaos, and how our own regulation directly influences those around us. Theresa also reflects on using these practices to co-regulate with her daughter who is diagnosed with awetism, offering a powerful reminder that the greatest gift we can give others is often our own grounded presence.
