Elevates my ability to live the concepts I teach

Quick summary

Erika discovered that meditation isn't about perfecting the practice itself—it's about getting good at life. This insight transformed how she approaches SAT and ACT test prep, allowing her to embody and teach from a place of wholeness.

Since beginning my meditation practice, I've experienced the power of surrender and the importance of adaptability. The idea that we meditate to get good at life, not to get good at meditation, perfectly articulates the reason that I’ve brought a whole person approach to the SAT and ACT test prep process. It elevates my ability to live the concepts I teach.
