Go Slow To Expand Consciousness with Will Fraser
Kendra Chapman sits down with meditation coach and former UK school leader Will Fraser to explore how slowing down can actually help people move through life with more clarity and intention. The conversation covers his pivot out of education, his meditation practice, and how he now teaches both grounded attention skills and more expansive altered-states work.In this episode, Kendra and Will discuss how meditation can support focus, emotional regulation, and self-awareness without requiring a spiritual label. Will also shares how his courses are structured, why accessibility matters to him, and how he built a new path after leaving a high-intensity career in school leadership.
