Welcome, welcome, welcome!
If we haven’t met before, I’m Cath.
And I might be the most low-key meditation teacher you’ve met 💃🏼
I’ve been doing this work for about a dozen years. Not because I am a naturally patient, calm person!
Nope, quite the opposite!
I actually became a meditation teacher after totally burning out in Big Law.
So I quit being a corporate lawyer & came to this practice as a way to solve my own stress problem.
And well, I’m still working on it … 🧘♀️
My Substack - Let’s Sit Together - is a place where you can show up exactly as you are (I will you too!), and I’ll serve up bite sized meditation practices every Monday morning for you.
We might need this kind of low-key, sanity-making thing more than ever 😆
I’ll keep showing up & I hope to see you there 👇
LEAVE A COMMENT : what are you working with right now that meditation might help with?

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
And every Monday morning, I’m leaving a little collective “note to self,” so you can take a beat as your week begins.
Each weekly post contains:
a short & sweet essay with some little spark of wisdom from my own daily practice (in real time, so it’s not filtered or staged ;)),
a question / prompt for reflection. You can journal about it, reply in the comments & share your thoughts, send it to a friend, take it for a walk, chew on it while you commute — just a little nugget for you to hopefully find a little more grace, a wider perspective, and a little more space.
and behind the paywall, puppies — I’ll put a guided mediation (5-10 minutes) that you can practice, wherever and however. Even if you’re the most stressed out person in the world with no time to spare who is terrible at meditation — I got you. I made this for you ;)
Join the crew
Oh my goodness - thank you for simply BEING here! All you have to do is open your inbox on Mondays — we got this.
People like you make the world go round.
When we support each other’s creativity, vulnerability, and independent endeavors — even on a small scale like this — I think we keep each other kinder and more human.
In this wild internet age, all I want to DO with my work is create a place where we can preserve a connection to ourselves and each other. So thanks for making it possible for me to show up here with consistency, with intention, and with pure, creative joy.
I love to be of service, in this way.
For over a decade, I’ve gathered people up IRL and virtual circles of meditation, of paying attention, of presence and connection.
My promise to you?
I will try to keep it REAL always. Share the lessons I’m still learning and relearning. Direct insights from my own meditation practice (and “applied meditation practice” where I attempt to apply these practices of presence to the own real life wild of my life and NOT scream at my kids, beat myself up over my own humanity, etc. etc. etc.).
I’m hoping to offer some grace to all of us here in this space. (Grace = not being so hard on myself (or others) for a minute!).
If I ever revert to my hard-wired, old stories of people pleasing and trying to impress you (like if I start quoting research stats on why all law firms should have required in-house mindfulness trainings or pretend I have it all figured out) — please call me out.
Let’s just be ourselves here.
Let it be imperfect. Let it be stunning. Let it it be real.
Let’s sit together,
so much more to come. just enough for now,
Cath xo
p.s. I’m working on my first book right now(!!)) It’s called 40 Early Mornings: A Companion Guide to Creating Your Own Daily Practice. It will be out later this year. If you like what you find here, I would LOVE if you put your name on the waitlist for the book. Your support means so much!
Want to go deeper?
I offer 1:1 coaching work that combines tools of meditation (including self-reflection, self-understanding, and sovereignty!) that I share about here when I work with my clients. You can learn more at my website, catherinezack.com
I also lead in-person retreats. And run a real life brick and mortar yoga and meditation studio in the Hudson Valley - so you can come practice with me in real life.
I speak on panels, facilitate corporate well-being workshops (especially for burnt out lawyers). If you’re interested in booking one of these, please message me below 👇
And I offer virtual 1:1 Meditation Sessions each week which you can book directly with me right here 👇
