    Ep. 197 - Sydney Ryker: Stop searching outside of ourselves for happiness and fulfillment.

    About Sydney: Sydney Ryker is an entrepreneur, business owner, and transformational speaker who started her journey eight years ago sleeping on a mattress on the floor. She has driven a health company with over 7,000 active customers and multiple 8-figure global sales organizations, speaking on dozens of stages worldwide. Sydney empowers individuals through her "Identity Deconstruction" method, guiding them to shed societal conditioning and rediscover their true selves. With the support of ancient spiritual practices and her mentor, Mitch, she helps people find peace and fulfillment within their authentic selves without needing anything outside of themselves. Takeaways Identity deconstruction is a journey of self-discovery. Women often feel societal pressure to conform to beauty standards. True empowerment comes from within, not from external validation. Integrity is crucial for personal and professional success. Freedom is achieved through discipline and commitment. Rebuilding self-identity requires letting go of societal masks. The process of healing involves facing uncomfortable emotions. Storytelling can be a powerful tool for personal growth. No story, no problem: reframing narratives can liberate us. We are designed to receive love and abundance when we let go of need.

Protecting your rights and providing solid legal counsel through one of life’s most difficult and stressful situations. A.J. Grossman III is the only experienced, practicing family law attorney in Florida who holds a Master of Laws degree from the #1-ranked dispute resolution program in the United States, The Straus Institute at Pepperdine School of Law.

He helps his clients to understand their legal rights and the Florida legal process, and negotiate settlements that protect their rights and the rights of their children. Mr. Grossman understands that every client and/or family is unique, and no single approach is the right one for all clients or all families.

  8. Recap - Ep. 34 Amber Gregory: It is not about finding peace, it's about being at peace with what we find.

    AUG 12

    Recap - Ep. 34 Amber Gregory: It is not about finding peace, it's about being at peace with what we find.

    YOGA IS MY TRUE PASSION... The practice found me over ten years ago and has followed me around with nurturing love ever since. My yoga experience began at Charlestown Yoga in Boston, Massachusetts while volunteering for a non-profit organization that offered alternative healing services to veterans. In exchange, I was able to take yoga classes at the studio. I soon became a regular, sometimes taking two, even three classes each day. Simultaneously, I experienced a couple of unexpected lay-offs from my jobs in online advertising sales and this opened up some space to make what was initially a physical practice a very spiritual journey for me. With the completion of my 200-hour yoga teacher certification in 2007, I began to pursue my teaching career in yoga. First, managing the studio part-time and then, teaching as many classes as I could in and around Boston. This journey through my practice has paved the path for many of the challenges I would face later on in a way that nothing else could have prepared me for. In 2011, at age 35, I was teaching yoga and running a Bed & Breakfast on Martha's Vineyard when I was diagnosed with stage 2/3 triple-negative breast cancer. My life turned upside down. Planning a wedding turned into deciding on a treatment plan for the following year. 16 chemo treatments, two surgeries and 30 days of radiation is what followed. That is what my treatment looked like on paper, but I believe I was saved because of yoga, the community at MGH, and my 'tribe'. Students would pop up with messages of love and support when I least expected it, at hospitals, on the street, along with various other places and in moments that you couldn't predict if you tried. I practiced hot power yoga the day after chemo with a bald head, surrounded by my tribe. This is what yoga is, a place where we can turn things off and look inside ourselves, without judgment or ego but with vulnerability and humble love. I am 7 years cancer-free, a wife and a mother of two small children. I have faith and hope and yoga taught me that. My students and colleagues continually inspire and teach me so much about myself. This is what I hope to share with you - on and off the mat. Namaste. ⁠CONTACT ME⁠ I am continually honored to represent KiraGrace as a Warrior Ambassador. KiraGrace is a  leader in Yoga Clothing Apparel and all of their clothing is responsibly manufactured in the USA. I was chosen as a Brand Ambassador because of my leadership on and off of the mat, community involvement, and seva, or service. I continually try to exercise leadership through my commitment to the betterment of this community and my teachings of yoga. To check out this amazing company, please go to ⁠www.kiragrace.com⁠.
