In this guided meditation, you’ll learn how to recognize self-doubt without letting it make your decisions and remember that growth doesn’t require perfection.

    197. We Didn't Plan For This: The Art of Rebellious Success

    What if resilience isn’t about bouncing back? What if it’s about refusing to stay down? In this episode of We Didn’t Plan for This, Adrienne and Nora sit down with Paralympic medalist, World Champion, Army veteran, and self-proclaimed rebel, Lia Coryell. As one of eight children growing up in extreme poverty, Lia learned early that waiting for life to hand you an opportunity wasn’t a strategy. In kindergarten, Lia Coryell decided she wasn’t going to be the “leftover kid.” She was going to learn everything she possibly could. That determination led her to the military, which she saw as her path out of poverty. Even after breaking her leg during basic training, she kept moving forward. And that theme would continue throughout her life. Throughout this conversation, one message rises above everything else: Be rebellious. But be rebellious successfully. Lia reminds us that resilience isn’t something we’re born with. It’s something we build through curiosity, advocacy, hard work, and the willingness to keep showing up when life doesn’t go according to plan. And in true We Didn’t Plan for This fashion, she leaves us with a choice we’ll never forget: You can become bitter. Or you can become better.

    196. Grain By Grain: Guided Meditation

    We all carry things we were never meant to hold forever. Stress. Grief. Expectations. Worry. Regret. In this guided meditation led by Mia, you’ll imagine carrying a heavy sandbag filled with everything that’s weighing you down. But as the practice unfolds, something begins to change. A small hole appears. Then, grain by grain, the sand begins to fall away. With each breath, the burden becomes a little lighter. The weight shifts. Your shoulders soften. The things you’ve been holding so tightly begin to loosen their grip. You don’t have to drop everything all at once. Send us Fan Mail How Yoga Changed My Life a Podcast Send Us Your Stories!

    27. In Case of Emergency, Press Play: Solar Eclipse

    Inspired by the August 12th Solar Eclipse, this guided meditation is about the moments when something moves between you and the light.  Whether it’s fear, grief, change or uncertainty that causes the shadows to form, the light hasn’t disappeared just because we can’t see it. Take a few moments to ground yourself, breathe, and remember that you don’t have to see the entire path forward. Sometimes a sliver of light is enough. When you can’t see the light, press play.
