    I've been MIA for about 6 months, and am so glad to be back with you all!

    Today, I went down a rabbit trail in doing some research on self-love! Did you know there’s a difference between self-esteem & self-confidence? Whoa...

    In this episode, I discuss the differences between the three, help you assess your value system, and give you tips on how to live your life according to those values.

    25. Philosophy of Yoga with Andy Betancourt
    Aug 17 2020

    Today I had the privilege of talking with one of my instructors from Yoga Veda Institute, Andy Betancourt. Andy is the co-founder of Yoga Veda Institute, a heart-centered educational experience that offers bite-sized introductory classes on Yoga, Ayurvedic Foundations, and Women's Health from an Eastern perspective, all the way up to a complete Ayurvedic Practitioner program. In this episode, we discussed the reasons why one might take up a Yoga Practice, and the steps to take to grow and evolve spiritually.

    I loved the quote to which he referred by Jiddu Krishnamurti in regards to cultural appreciation vs cultural appropriation of Yoga:

    “When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”

    24B. **Updated Audio** Coaching Client 1: You've Done Nothing Wrong
    Aug 13 2020

    I corrected the audio background noise in this episode. In this series, I'll be talking about ways I work with my coaching clients. With this client, we worked with the book The Universe Has a Plan by Matt Kahn. We focused specifically on the first chapter, to help her gain a new perspective on her marriage issues, showing her that indeed, she had done nothing wrong initially to cause her husband's insecurities.
