It started with a funeral, unresolved family pain, and a to-do list that included the words “figure out how to be zen by Saturday.”

Obviously, we didn’t pull it off. But the question stuck.

This podcast is our way of exploring what it means to find peace and perspective when life is messy, emotional or just plain loud. We talk about what we’re going through: things like grief, boundaries, hope, identity and forgiveness. The shared life themes that don’t always come with easy answers.

Zen By Next Weekend is more conversation than interview. We engage with expert guests, spiritual seekers, therapists, writers, and curious humans with interesting stories. Every episode is rooted in the belief that healing doesn’t require perfection, just the willingness to show up and try again.
