Yoga is dead…or is it? The yoga and wellness spaces are rife with random organizations, arbitrary certifications, and corporations with less than honorable interests. This ancient tradition that was once a mental, spiritual, and physical practice has become commodified and commercialized. The cultural image of a “yogi” has become synonymous with the image of a […]
Listen to the PodcastSafety. It’s something I talk about a ton as it relates to the nervous system, and thanks to the brain bombs recently dropped by Nic Strack and James-Olivia Chu Hillman, it’s something I’ve been diving into a bit more as it relates to, well, basically everything that’s happening right now. What allows us to grow? […]

Listen to the PodcastChange is the only constant. I recently joined Tiktok, and between that and some dope convos I’ve been having with one of my one-on-one business clients, the topic of ‘change’ has been coming up so frequently that I decided to make an episode about it. A phrase that came up while recording this episode was […]
Listen to the PodcastLet’s talk about money. No one ever expected a worldwide pandemic, so how could we have prepared? Well, for starters by actually having savings. Now, I get it. Right now we’re being presented with facts that highlight socioeconomic disparities and the racial injustices that underpin many of these things. This episode is not about that. […]
Listen to the PodcastI first spoke about being respected vs bing relatable during episode 217, and after I heard from two listeners I decided to dedicate a Thursday shorty to this dichotomy. Now, it’s not a dichotomy at all, and yes, of course you can be both. BUT, if forced to choose one, I have a very clear […]
