One Gentle Day at a Time
Have you ever wanted to meditate more consistently?
Perhaps you’ve started before but found it difficult to keep going. Maybe life became busy, or you weren’t sure if you were “doing it right.”
You’re not alone.
The August Meditation Challenge was created to make meditation feel simple, approachable, and sustainable.
Rather than asking you to meditate for long periods of time or strive for perfection, this challenge invites you to spend just a few intentional minutes each day caring for your mind, body, and nervous system.
Because meditation isn’t about becoming perfect.
It’s about becoming present.
Meditation Is Essential Self-Care
We often think of self-care as something we do when we finally have extra time.
Meditation invites us to think differently.
Just as we brush our teeth, nourish our bodies, and care for our physical health, meditation is a way of caring for our inner world.
I often think of meditation as a form of inner hygiene—a gentle way of tending to the mind, heart, and nervous system.
A few minutes each day can help support your nervous system, quiet mental busyness, and create space to respond to life with greater awareness and kindness.
Meditation isn’t extra. It’s essential.
For 31 days, you’ll receive a short guided meditation designed to help you build—or rebuild—a steady practice without pressure or perfection. Most practices are approximately 10–12 minutes. Some meditations will include soft background music, while others will be offered without music, allowing you to experience different styles of practice. Each meditation will be available the evening before its scheduled day so it is ready whenever you choose to practice.
I have been a meditation practitioner since 1980 and have taught meditation for more than 30 years. Over that time, I have seen that a steady practice is not built through perfection or long meditation sessions. It grows through returning, one breath, one pause, and one day at a time.

How It Works
Beginning August 1, you’ll have access to a new meditation each day inside the Audio Meditation Library.
You can listen whenever it works best for your schedule.
There is no need to keep up perfectly.
If you miss a day, simply continue with the next meditation.
Beginning again is part of the practice.
Along with your daily guided meditations, you’ll also have opportunities to connect through our optional Community Gatherings and the Skool Community.
Note: You do not need to join live to participate.
Additional free support and Q&A will be available on the first and third Fridays of the month at 12:00 PM CT and after the Tuesday evening Community Meditation.
Premium and VIP Skool members may also attend the live meditation sessions. Each live class will include time for questions and support. Premium membership is available for $22 per month and includes live access, recordings, and the full Video Meditation Library.
A new challenge meditation will be available early each morning so you can practice at the time that works best for you. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, you’ll also have the option to join Deb live at 8:30 AM Central for the day’s practice, followed by a few minutes for questions, reflection, or sharing.

A Personal Invitation
I’ve been practicing meditation since 1980, and one lesson continues to guide me.
Meditation doesn’t ask us to become someone new.
It gently invites us to come home to ourselves.
One breath.
One moment.
One day at a time.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve never meditated before or you’ve practiced for years.
You are welcome here.
I’d be honored to practice with you this August as we build a meditation practice that can support you long after the challenge has ended.
I hope you’ll join me.
