Trigger Warning

Come and listen to our Host, Gia-Raquel Rose, for our "Victory Over Fear" Podcast Mini-Series.

This powerful series explores what it truly means to move forward despite uncertainty, self-doubt, and life's challenges. Through authentic conversations, personal stories, and practical wisdom, we uncover how courage is built one step at a time. Fear may be loud, but it doesn't have to have the final say.

Together, we'll discover how healing, faith, resilience, and action can help us overcome the barriers that keep us stuck. Whether you're facing a major life transition, stepping into a new opportunity, or simply learning to trust yourself again, these conversations will encourage you to embrace bravery and move confidently toward your purpose.

Join us as we celebrate the strength found in vulnerability, the growth that comes from taking risks, and the victories that happen when we choose courage over fear.

Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal. In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.

I share why the macrobiotic diet is a major trigger for me, rooted in my mother’s breast cancer journey and the way food can become tangled with fear and hope. I break down what macrobiotic eating is, what it gets right about mindful living, and why I believe listening to your body matters more than following perfect rules.

• my mother’s choice to start with a macrobiotic lifestyle after diagnosis and what that brings up for me
• the difference between macrobiotic and vegan eating, including limited animal protein and strict rules
• how family culture and eating out can make any diet feel isolating
• women’s changing nutrition needs across puberty, perimenopause, and menopause
• macrobiotic principles around unprocessed foods, sourcing, storage, and avoiding plastic
• the idea that cooking and eating carry “energy” and how intention can shape self-care
• potential downsides, including deficiencies, weight loss risk, and the cost of eating this way
• warm cooked foods, gentle digestion, and parallels with Ayurveda
