Description

What happens when a punk rocker becomes a meditation teacher? 🎸🧘

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jessica Amos to explore the real journey of teaching meditation. From overcoming anxiety and resistance to becoming a full-time guide, coach, and course creator.We talk about:

✨ Jessica’s unexpected path from punk rock garage band to meditation teacher

✨ How meditation helped her heal chronic anxiety and find purpose

✨ Why being authentic (even if it means swearing in a live session) matters more than fitting into “spiritual aesthetics”

✨ The challenges and rewards of building a meditation career in today’s world

✨ Practical advice for aspiring meditation teachers on staying true to yourself, making a living, and creating impact

Jessica shares how she built her career on Insight Timer, created over 11 courses, transitioned into one-on-one coaching, and learned to embrace her unique voice as a teacher.
