“We have 70,000 thoughts, and 90% of them are not new. Until we see this for  what it is, we are prisoners to it.”

This week’s guest is Chuck Schad, a witty and wise meditation teacher who’s been guiding folks through life’s ups and downs for over four decades. Chuck, founder of The Inner Theater, brings a refreshing blend of humor and honesty to the world of meditation.

In this engaging conversation, Chuck draws from his wealth of experience and training to shed light on how meditation can truly transform the way we handle life’s challenges, including depression, addiction, and anxiety. Through his entertaining stories, he illustrates how both he and his students have triumphed over the chaos of their minds and lives through the practice of meditation.

So grab your cushion, find a comfy spot, and join us for a fun and enlightening chat.

If you want to learn about Chuck’s meditation offerings, please visit theinnertheater.com or contact him on Facebook @chuckschad.
