Be The Tortoise
Welcome to your mindfulness journey into how to "become the tortoise". In a world that glorifies 'doing more' and many living in dysregulation and chronic stress, learning how to slow down, tune in to our bodies and listen in to what we intuitively need is a priority we all need to adopt.
As a dedicated Yogi and Meditation Facilitator, I have designed this podcast for the ones who keep hitting burn out. The ones who want to do it all but are no longer willing to compromise their health to get there. The ones who (just like me) aren't afraid to dream big, have a zest life and know deep down that they are worthy of having it all without running themself into the ground to claim it.
Join me for special solo episodes and educational conversations with special guests for real, authentic deep dives into everything yoga, conscious living, wellness, mindset, philosophy, self love, and mindfulness all designed to inspire new ways of living for you and your loved ones.
I am so excited you are here on this journey with me,
