Today I want to talk about something we all deal with, body image. I know this can be a complex topic, especially in relation to the yoga and wellness industry. There is still a need for more diverse role models in this space and when it comes to body image; embracing your unique body and self-acceptance is a journey that requires ongoing effort.
Let’s talk about:
🔹How yoga has shifted towards a performative sport rather than a personal practice.
🔹That clothing should enhance our authentic selves, not serve as a punishment.
🔹The importance of challenging societal norms around body image.

A lot of us struggle with shame, self-sabotage, and setting boundaries. I know I used to! Andrea Owen, author and life coach, is here to tell you the hard truth. That shame is inevitable in life and it's not going away. BUT, self-compassion, empathy, and mindfulness are key components of building shame resilience. We also talk about how personal growth ebbs and flows and setting boundaries is essential. Yes it can be challenging, but it is important to prioritize your own needs and well-being.
Listen in as Andrea explains:
🔹Shame as a normal and inevitable part of life, rather than something to be overcome.
🔹The connection between shame and behaviors such as people-pleasing and perfectionism.
🔹Strategies for building shame resilience, including self-compassion, empathy, and speaking shame.

🔹 Misconceptions about the different brainwave states experienced during Yoga Nidra and how it’s NOT the equivalent of 2 -4 hours of sleep.
🔹 How Yoga Nidra works with the Koshas and affects melatonin production in your body.
🔹 The importance of setting an intention or sankalpa and how it can be used to address limiting beliefs.
🔹 The distinct structure and phases that culminate to create a Yoga Nidra practice.
We also cover – how long is “enough,” whether to practice in bed or on the floor, and all our hacks for propage. You’ll be excited to rest after this conversation.

Have you ever fallen into this trap? I know you’ve heard me talk about how as healers we have a hard time charging for our services, but there is another trap we easily fall into similar to this: OVERGIVING. Meaning, you are offering way more than you’re potentially charging for. This often comes from a place of insecurity, which is why showing up as your authentic self is so important.
Let’s explore:
🔹Overgiving can lead to feelings of resentment, depletion, and burnout.
🔹Setting boundaries and stating pure desires can help prevent over-giving.
🔹Focusing on quality over quantity is important in all areas of life.

Today I chat with master coach and spiritual psychologist, Christine Hassler. We talk about the impact your inner child can have on your everyday life and how the subconscious programming that is formed during childhood influences your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. She shares practical techniques for cultivating a relationship with your inner child, and emphasizes the significance of reparenting ourselves and meeting the unmet needs from our childhood. This conversation will give you valuable insights and tools for healing and personal growth.
Discover:
🔹How the inner child represents the subconscious programming formed during childhood that influences our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.
🔹Why childhood experiences, especially between the ages of zero to 12, shape our inner child and can lead to subconscious patterns and behaviors.
🔹That inner child work does not require remembering specific childhood memories; the body and subconscious still hold the emotional and energetic imprints.
