Have you ever felt stuck or in an uncomfortable situation, and wondered if it's okay to just walk away? Well, here's your answer: it is. In this episode, I share my personal journey of embracing the unpredictable nature of life. Life's ups and downs are inevitable, and sometimes we must learn to let go, embrace change, and understand it's okay to change our minds. It's completely fine to depart from situations that aren't serving you well. Endings can make room for self-reflection and growth.  In this episode I also share with you a full circle moment that I recently experienced. So trust the process and join me in this episode to learn more.

How often do we put others first and neglect our own needs? Join me as I welcome Yahaira Villa, a coach and advocate for personal development who encourages us all to prioritize self-trust. Yahaira holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UC Davis and a Master's degree in Counseling from Santa Clara University. We're exploring the concept of self-exploration and self-awareness, discussing practical ways to build habits and boundaries that strengthen our self-trust muscle. 

We tackle the societal expectations we often find ourselves trapped within and the importance of forgiveness when we realize we've been living up to others' expectations, not ours. Yahaira caps off our chat with her thrilling upcoming move to Brazil, a testament to her trust in herself to step into unfamiliar territory. Join us, and let's discover the courage it takes to make significant changes in our lives.

This week I am joined by author Dave Pelzer, best known for his memoir of child abuse, "A Child Called It".  As with many of us, Dave was forced to re-examine his life during the pandemic. Despite his many accomplishments—writing multiple bestselling books, including the classics A Child Called “It” and The Lost Boy, serving in the armed forces, receiving awards from US Presidents, and battling ferocious California wildfires—Dave found himself at an emotional crossroads. In his struggle to simply survive, he never learned how to just be. What did he learn during this moment of reflection and what does he want to share with Imperfect Mellow listeners? Listen to this week's episode to find out.

Hello mellow friends! This week we are joined by an amazing guest. Ashley Fontes graduated from BYU with a degree in Humanities and is a writer, mother, yoga teacher, and mental health advocate. Ashley's neurodivergent children are her inspiration for teaching yoga. Ashley has seen the benefits of mindfulness and yoga in the lives of her kids, and found it to reduce tantrums and improve communication. This inspired her to begin her organization "Read and Yoga" to give tools to kids and parents to be able to handle whatever life throws at them.

Learn more about her journey and how you can incorporate some of these strategies into your own lives.
