CU Podcast Jessica Rapesoska

Today, Gabriela and I discuss how her journey of healing began when she removed herself from the very environment that was causing her pain. From people pleasing, to overachieving, we talk about how her experiences of abuse led her to a life that was based on an ideal created by her mother.

Today I describe how I manage full time teaching, yoga teaching and owning a business all whilst maintaining friendships and relationships and life in general.

In today's solo cast I explain the way I've approached others and their difficult situations with a rescuing attitude and how during this introspective period I've recognised how harmful this can be for myself and others. I also talk about the importance of letting this aspect of my personality go.

In today's solo cast, I discuss some of my own experiences around trauma and how yoga has helped me to not only be my most authentic self, but trust in both myself and the universe to bring me everything that I need.

In this episode I speak with a regular yogi at CU Yoga Emma who also happens to be my reiki healer. We discuss how yoga, reiki and meditation have accelerated her journey of healing. Often times we place pressure on ourselves to be a version of perfection so we discuss how these modalities have helped Emma to peel back her own layers and be comfortable with her true self.

Today I speak with Leonie about how yoga and meditation cultivated a sense of belonging in her life. Leonie grew up as a Chinese/Vietnamese migrant in a growing multicultural society and belonging was a feeling that came to her after a long search for herself. We touch on impermanence and the need for an inner feeling of belonging given the nature of life - impermanent.
