    #61 A World Of Yoga with Leo Lourdes

    Send us Fan Mail "Knowing the depths of your own heart is the greatest love affair you'll ever have. Your heart is interested in the depth of your own discovery." — Leo Lourdes   What happens when you lose everything you worked for, only to realize you’ve already survived the most chaotic journey of all—simply being born? In this beautifully raw, laugh-out-loud funny, and deeply philosophical episode, Josephine sits down with newfound friend, globally renowned yoga master, author, and transformational coach, Leo Lourdes. Together, they step into the eternal present to map the landscapes of the human heart, exploring how our greatest breakdowns are often just fertilization for our highest renewals.  Leo shares his extraordinary trajectory —from a childhood running wild on the beaches of Malaysia to sharing one room with his family of six in London , and eventually building a multi-million-pound wellness empire, only to see it dissolve during the pandemic. With refreshing candor, he opens up about childhood adversity , the hilarious tension of adolescent curiosity , the bittersweet end of a 9-year relationship that cost him a destination wedding , and how a random choir rehearsal at a London health center cracked his hardened heart wide open to possibility again.  This conversation is a masterful co-creation on what it truly means to live life with an open heart and no agenda. Whether you are navigating heartbreak, reinventing your career, or simply trying to find your footing, Leo and Josephine invite you to stop viewing yourself as a static noun, step into your power as a fluid process, and ultimately, get in the water.  In This Episode, We Journey Through: The Scent of Liberation: How a massive rose in a London park became Leo's first sensory anchoring point in a cold, unfamiliar country. Burger Curries & LARGE CVs: A loving tribute to the ingenuity of Leo’s mother, who traded status to feed her family, mastered the art of abundance out of scarcity, and taught him the ultimate lesson in psychology: love without shame. "I Am Not That": A powerful four-word mantra passed down from an Indian guru to gracefully navigate toxic energy, establish rock-solid boundaries, and release the heavy grip of attachment. The Anatomy of a Legacy: The cinematic behind-the-scenes story of how Leo shot his bestselling book, A World of Yoga, alongside lions in the Masai Mara during a global lockdown. Boundaries vs. Thresholds: Recognizing when life is asking you to protect your peace, and when it is karmically inviting you to step over the line into an audacious new adventure. Connect with the Guest: Read Leo's Bestselling Book: A World of Yoga (Available worldwide at Waterstones, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target). Connect with Leo on InstagramKeep an Eye Out For His Upcoming Memoir: Red SoulVisit His Collaborated Wellness Space in London: Prana Voice (near Old Street).  For your opportunity to win a LIVE coaching call with Josephine submit your 5star reviews on Spotify and Apple Music and send screen shots to josephinemcgrail@icloud.com Winners are announced on the 1st of every month Support the show

    #58 "The Psychology of Astrology: Why Your Rising Sign is the Compass for Your Soul with Kalpna Tandon"

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt like your "Sun sign" (your birthday) only tells half of your story? Maybe you're a sensitive Water sign who feels an undeniable fire within, or a grounded Earth sign who secretly craves radical transformation. I recently sat down with the incredible astrologer Kalpna Tandon for a deep dive into The Psychology of Astrology, focusing on the often-overlooked cornerstone of our charts: The Rising Sign (The Ascendant).  Why the Rising Sign Matters While your Sun sign represents your ego and your Moon sign reflects your emotional world, Kalpna describes the Rising Sign as your Higher Self. It is the "cornerstone" of your life patterns—it shows where you are truly being asked to go and the potential the universe is calling you to embody.  In this episode, we journey through all 12 archetypes, exploring: 🔥 The Fire Trinity: From the bold "me-first" initiation of Aries, to the "main character" heart-led leadership of Leo, and the expansive, mind-opening optimism of Sagittarius. 🌱 The Earth Signs: The intentional grounding of Taurus, the meticulous precision and service of Virgo, and the ambitious, "architect" energy of Capricorn. 🌬️ The Air Element: The joyful, curious communication of Gemini, the harmonious relationship-building of Libra, and the revolutionary, "freak flag" innovation of Aquarius. 🌊 The Water World: The nurturing, intuitive maternal energy of Cancer, the deep "death and rebirth" transformation of Scorpio, and the mystical, creative soul-wisdom of Pisces. Find Your Permission Slip Astrology isn't just about data; it’s about permission. Permission to be direct, permission to be emotional, and permission to "aim higher."  Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just beginning to explore your birth chart, this conversation is designed to help you understand the why behind your life’s recurring themes.  Pro Tip: To get the most out of this episode, have your birth time and location ready!
