Finding Flow State
Finding Flow State is your guide to unlocking mindful high performance as a highly sensitive high achiever.
Formerly called Authentic Imperfection, this podcast will inspire you to get into the driver's seat of your life, stop self-sabotage, break free of perfectionism and start taking messy action. You won't find one-size-fits-all advice here, it's all diving deep into the nuances of your authenticity. This podcast is destined to make you think and be an active participant of your life to do the work with curiosity and self-compassion.
Steph Ellen is a multi-passionate recovered perfectionist who has gone from being a burnout veterinarian to a mindful high performance coach. She is also a breathwork facilitator and yoga teacher. Steph's style of coaching and teaching lies at the intersection of science and spirituality driven from a desire to fully understand and experience the universe from as many perspectives as possible.
Steph shares raw, authentic conversations with inspiring guests living life on their own terms in addition to solo pep talks (seasoned with a lil spice and tough love when required!).
