    Yanti Amos: from lawyer to yoga studio owner

    Yanti shares her life journey with us which took her to many different corners of the world! Born in Australia with Indonesian parents, Yanti grew up looking different from others and - still to this day - had to answer how she could speak such fluent English considering her Indonesian physical traits. Yanti shares with us the origin of her name, and the importance of her Javanese origins in her life. Yanti has been a successful lawyer for 17 years in multiple countries. However, after "a mid-life crisis" as she calls it, she made a huge change and became a yoga instructor & studio owner in New York City! Towards the end of the episode, we also talk about how during the pandemic, by simply reaching out to friends around the globe, she ended up putting together a group of more than 100 women to share their stories & support each other about their domestic violence experiences.

    Rebecca Alexander: crushing life with Usher Syndrome

    Rebecca is an author (Not Fade Away: A Memoir of Senses Lost and Found), psychotherapist, public speaker (including a TedTalk), group fitness instructor, extreme athlete and disability right advocate... yes, all of that! She also has a genetic disorder called Usher Syndrome type 3, which causes her to go deaf and blind. Rebecca first started losing her sight at age 12, then her hearing a few years later. She now reads brail, is fluent in sign language and protactile sign language. Rebecca talks to us about her journey discovering Usher Syndrome, how she coped with changes in her body as a teen but also how she is doing lots of fun things to enjoy life now (and as she says, "to feel alive") while she still has her sight and hearing (including hiking Mount Kilimanjaro). Rebecca shares with us why it is important for her to raise awareness for her community and how important it is to find your community. Plus we talk about inspiration porn and how disabled people are just people doing normal things. We loved this conversation and hope you do too.

    Margi Marchetti: exploring gender identity as a non-binary person

    Erin Opfell: my male to female transition story

    After going viral on LinkedIn thanks to a post about her transition, Erin comes on the show to tell us about her story. As she told us, she always wanted to be a girl, she dreamed about it. However, she was born as a boy in a very strict family where this was simply not acceptable, she was not able to explore her gender identity for many years, and had to repress this side of herself until becoming an adult. Erin talks to us about multiple business trips she took to the Philippines, and how they impacted her in the long journey of becoming who she wanted to be. It has not been easy for Erin - as it is often the case for transgender people unfortunately - but after years of living in the closet, she is now out & happy to be her true authentic self, and is ready to embark on a new adventure that is her transition. We really hope your enjoy this episode!

    Adrian Molina: how Yoga can help with depression & mental health

    Adrian comes back on the show today to talk to us about the evolution of his approach to Yoga throughout the years. Adrian doesn't consider Yoga as a static/non-evolving practice. As human beings evolve, society evolves, and our needs evolve. Indeed it makes sense to adjust the practice of Yoga to suit our current needs - still while respecting the core values & origins of it. When Adrian started Yoga 20 years ago, it was all about the physicality of it. Learning postures & sequences to get the body moving. However, after deepening his knowledge about Yoga, and also after going through personal difficulties, Adrian started to appreciate more & more what Yoga could do for mental health and overall wellbeing. Adrian now focuses most of his time to promote this new approach through the Warrior Flow School, where Yoga can serve under-served communities and become accessible to all of us.
