EP 26: How Meditation Changed My Life
Welcome back to The Self (R)evolution Podcast — your weekly reminder to wake up to who the f*ck you really are. In this deeply personal episode, host Breanna Rae Blaney shares how meditation transformed her life from the inside out — not through a quick fix or trendy hack, but through a years-long journey of devotion, rediscovery, and radical self-trust. She opens up about the pivotal moments that pulled her into stillness, the times she fell off the path, and how meditation became the anchor that reconnected her to her joy, purpose, and personal power. From a tiny Boston apartment to life-changing moments in Costa Rica, Breanna reveals how meditation helped her come home to herself again and again. She also introduces the Anya Meditation Method, a new offering from The Anya Institute designed to help others access the same depth of clarity, peace, and personal evolution. In this episode, you'll hear:
- How meditation helped Breanna reconnect with her intuition and creativity
- The ups and downs of building (and rebuilding) a daily practice
- Why meditation is more than sitting still, it’s a way of life
- How this practice led her to love, health, career clarity, and joy
- What inspired the creation of the Anya Meditation Method
If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent with meditation or wondered if it could actually change your life, this episode is for you.
