Frequently asked questions

Can meditation improve self-esteem?

Meditation can help you notice negative self-talk without believing it and practice a kinder inner voice, which many people find supports self-esteem over time. It is not a substitute for therapy.

What is the difference between self-esteem and self-worth?

Self-esteem is how you evaluate yourself, which can rise and fall. Self-worth is the deeper sense that you have value regardless of achievements.

How long does it take to build self-worth?

It is gradual. The program runs 21 days of short daily practices to build a steady habit.

How does the 7-day free trial work?

You create your account in the web app and get full access for 7 days. If you cancel before the trial ends, you are not charged. After that, the membership costs US$39 a year (about US$3.25 a month) or US$7.99 a month.

What's included in the membership?

All 8 guided programs, the 6-week course Regulate Your Nervous System, more than 300 guided meditations and the daily tools (breathing, journal and habits), in your browser on any device.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel from your account at any time, and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
