New Year's Meditation Challenge + two podcast episodes

We’ve officially moved into our new home: the 10% with Dan Harris app. Paid subscribers can find step-by-step instructions here to get set up. If you’re not a paid subscriber, now is the time to sign up. Get a 30-day free trial that includes the New Year’s Challenge — a seven-day masterclass in mindfulness and meditation led by the inimitable Joseph Goldstein, only available on the app.

We’re on a holiday schedule this week, so this email is shorter than usual. Next week, we’re back with a special email to kick off the New Year’s Challenge.

Two episodes for you this week. First up is my conversation with Elaine Lin Hering. We talk about how to find your voice when you need to be heard, when to choose silence, and how to communicate better with the people who matter most. There’s a guided meditation that comes with this episode called “Imagine Your Brain Relaxing.”

Also out this week, my episode with Mia Birdsong, who offers a radical reframe of success and the American dream. There’s a guided meditation for this too, called “For When You’re Lonely, Disconnected, or Adrift.”

Cheatsheets and transcripts for these episodes are available in the episode posts on the new app.

There will be no weekly live tomorrow, Dec. 30, due to the holiday week, but I’ll be back live three times during the New Year’s Challenge.

The seven-day New Year’s Challenge kicks off Jan. 5 and consists of:

• Daily meditations Jan. 5 through Jan. 11 from Joseph Goldstein (only available in the app)

• Three special live sessions: Jan. 6, 8, & 11 at 4:00 p.m. ET (join via the dedicated Challenge Zoom link)

We will also email the Challenge Zoom link out before each live. And you can find it in the new app under “Upcoming Events.”

The three live sessions are open to everyone, whether you’re a paid or free subscriber, so please join us.

Happy New Year! xx
