Embodied Alchemy became my way of describing empowerment. The Embodied Alchemy pod is about feeling the tough stuff and working through it. We are here together to celebrate our ups and our downs, because the tough stuff is where the magic happensThere are two main themes of interviews on the pod; The first is personal stories of resilience. Athletes, musicians, everyday people in our communities who have come face to face with challenges. The second is with people who are dancing the line of eastern and western traditional practices. They are curious, intelligent, amazing humans, who I have the absolute pleasure of sharing.
