Suze Yalof Schwartz, a meditation teacher and the founder of Unplug - the studio and app - on mindfulness, resilience, and how meditation helps us rebuild from the inside out.
Suze Yalof Schwartz, founder of Unplug, a meditation app available globally and a heavenly studio space in Santa Monica, CA. Suze has taught thousands of people around the world how to slow down, be still, and turn inward using a tool we all have at our disposal – our minds.
Once a self-described “C and D student,” Suze discovered a deep love of learning in college — one she’s kept developing throughout her life. She first became known for teaching people what to wear as a makeover guru at Glamour, Vogue, and Marie Claire, and now she helps people discover who they are through meditation.
In this conversation, Suze reflects on her childhood in New Jersey, working in Manhattan, her mid-life move to Los Angeles, and how she’s redefining what home means after losing her house in the Palisades Fire. Meditation, she says, has been the anchor through every transition — a practice that’s helped her build resilience, presence, and a positive outlook during life’s most difficult moments.
