    Ep 1: In the Reconnection Room with Sejin Gunaridis

    Episode 1: Sejin Gunaridis | What does it mean to live authentically? I couldn't think of a better person to kick off The Reconnection Room than Sejin Gunaridis. Sejin's work has inspired my own journey for years, so I was genuinely excited to finally sit down and have this conversation. Together, we explore what it really means to live authentically in a world that constantly tells us who we should be. We talk about growing up with certain ideas of success, how our upbringing shapes the stories we carry, the unexpected ways yoga and embodiment can reconnect us with ourselves, and why self-leadership begins with curiosity rather than certainty. We also dive into the power of community, questioning inherited beliefs, and learning to create a life that feels aligned with who we are, rather than who we think we're supposed to be. Whether you're navigating change, questioning the path you're on, or simply curious about what it means to live more intentionally, I hope this conversation leaves you with a few questions worth sitting with.
