There is an epidemic (trend?) of feeling sick. This is in no way saying that there aren’t terrible illnesses and tragedies in the world- only that there is a significant increase in those of us feeling ‘sick’ and sadly- more women are being affected than men (or at least reported).
It has been over a month since I took my very own retreat trip with Stoked Yogi. I host retreats myself so it is such a treat for me to take a retreat trip. Not only can I dig into my own stuff, but I can also understand what it is like for a guest – it’s a great opportunity all the way around.
Over two years ago I called Dee and asked her to co-host a podcast with me. At least once a week we were having earth shattering conversations (kidding) and it occurred to me that we should record them.
Bills. Work. Family. Social obligations. It can all get to be too much sometimes. Wouldn’t it be nice to escape it all and recharge – a getaway that has nothing to do with work, a family visit, or a wedding?
Alcoholism. Anorexia. A long list of challenges to overcome. This blog post is from our podcast with Casey May Griswald, in which she shares her story of overcoming severe challenges to find meaning and self worth.
Remove things that do not serve a purpose in your life. One simple sentence. So much depth and meaning. I was at yoga today when my Restorative Yoga Instructor said those powerful words.
We are in an age where sarcasm is where we hide. We project our tiredness, our busyness, our unhappiness, our stress- on our shirts, mugs, cars, social media and in our homes. Doing this only compounds what you don’t want- it confirms the very things you are complaining about.
We love to hear from our listeners when they leave reviews, but we also love to hear what issues and questions they’re dealing with. Recently, we got this note from one of our listeners.
Rocking the season that you are in may feel daunting, especially if you are desiring what someone else has. Single and wishing you were in the ‘perfect’ marriage you see your friends in?
If someone asked me to give a 1-sentence definition of meditation, I’d say that it is an approach to training the mind, just like exercise is a way of training the body. Dee adds to this definition: “meditation is a consistent or daily practice that helps you tune in to your best self.”
