I thought it was important before we dive into conversation with my guests for you to get to know me better. Therefore, episode 1 is about my story...my journey understanding, processing, and soothing a nervous system post traumatic event. My intention is to create space for all of us to learn, respect, and appreciate each other's experience so we can cultivate a more compassionate world. 

I have to say it was really odd to record this on my own in my tiny bedroom! I sat on my bolster in my jammies, a cup of tea in my hand, and spilled my heart out. It was another major learning curve and although I feel like I could edit and re-record forever...I have to trust my own self and know that similar to teaching a 60 min yoga class, I can't get everything I want to say in one go!

Please reach out if you have any questions or are interested in sharing your own story. 


Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
