MEDITATION MICHELLE LANGER TV producer, Thrive Global facilitator and executive coach.
My Story At the turn of the millennium on the outside, I was flying high, producing some of the biggest entertainment shows on UK television. People saw me as a calm producer, but on the inside, it was a different story. Panic attacks, palpitations, insomnia, and imposter complex were a regular theme experienced every time I started a new contract, which in the fast pace of television was every 3-6 months. As the daughter of a pharmacist, I first turned to medication. Sleeping pills, beta blockers, anti-depressants - if you shook me, I would have rattled. I knew this couldn’t continue, so I started exploring alternative therapies which led me to meditation and The Chopra Center in California where I began studying with world mind-body expert Dr. Deepak Chopra. www.thefrankmagazine.com
