001: Can Yoga and Meditation Really Heal You? What to Know Before You Begin
✨ Wondering if yoga or meditation can really help with anxiety, panic, or purpose? Start here — this is where your healing begins.
In this first episode, I share how yoga and meditation helped transform my life — and how they can support yours. I also answer common questions I hear from new students and clients:
- “Do I have to be flexible to do yoga?”
- “Can I meditate if my mind never stops thinking?”
- “What if I’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected?”
🌿 Through real-life stories, ancient yogic wisdom, and my own healing journey, you’ll learn how yoga and meditation aren’t just physical or trendy — they’re deeply spiritual practices that meet you where you are.
💫 Whether you’re navigating burnout, anxiety, illness, or simply searching for meaning, this episode will help you connect to the part of you that already knows how to heal.
🎧 In this episode:
• The truth about flexibility and who yoga is really for
• How meditation works (even if you “can’t stop thinking”)
• The power of breath to regulate emotion + nervous system
• My personal story: from fashion buyer to full-time healer
• Why I launched this podcast — and what’s to come
