10,000 Minutes of Meditation: Becoming the Expert of My Own Mind
After 10,000 minutes of meditation, I’m not claiming to be a monk or master—but I am more in control of my mind than I’ve ever been. In this post, I reflect on my 5+ year journey with mindfulness, overcoming anxiety, depression, and panic attacks through consistent, imperfect practice. Meditation has been more than a habit; it’s become a tool for healing, clarity, and emotional regulation. Whether you're curious about how to start meditating, looking for inspiration on your mental health journey, or wondering what real transformation looks like from the inside out—this milestone is proof that change is possible. It doesn’t take perfection. It takes presence.
Join me as I share the turning points, the tools that helped, and what it means to become the expert of your own mind—one breath at a time.

Self Care Karen. Channeling my Inner Mom.
My mom took a bath every night. And like all mothers, probably took this time as a time for herself every day. I never really looked at it this way but my mom was giving herself #selfcare before it was trendy.
