    Analytical to Intuitive Mindset: Charlene's Sister Science Story

    In this episode Jill interviews Charlene. They talk about the constant internal battle we all face between Concrete Data and Intuition. Charlene shares her journey from an engineering background to embracing her intuition. For years, Charlene ignored health issues, until they became so severe, she was forced to stop working. Initially seeking prescriptions and medical support, she found the holistic approach to be transformative, affecting not just her physical symptoms but also her mental and emotional well-being. She expresses how a shift from an analytical to an intuitive mindset, acknowledging the importance of intuition in her life, is allowing her to feel more fulfilled and confident. Ayurveda was new to her, but she gave it a chance as "Its been around for thousands of years and so must have some truth to it". Charlene's shift from being a "doer" focused on others to prioritizing self-care and setting boundaries has positively impacted her parenting style, leading to a more patient and connected relationship with her children and a better relationship with her Self.

    Creating Banks for Flow: The Energetics of the Divine Feminine PART 2

    In this episode of Sister Science Stories, Jill and Chelsey discuss what is needed for the Feminine Traits, outlined in last week’s episode, to flow freely. Just as the banks of a river define its course and prevent water from spreading everywhere, metaphorical "banks" provide structure and guidance, keeping energy focused and within healthy parameters. The right container gives Feminine Energy the structure and boundaries it needs to move with power and grace. Chelsey beautifully uses the image of a boat in water to illustrate how we can support ourselves in moving with grace and surrender through life’s tides. Together, they discuss the power of centring anchors—routines, self-discipline, and self-awareness—to navigate inevitable change. Drawing from Ayurvedic principles and nature’s rhythms, they explore how understanding one’s unique constitution brings balance and renewal. Practical tips include maintaining a consistent morning and evening routine, staying hydrated, and incorporating play and creativity into daily life. They also emphasize the importance of community support and self-trust in embracing life’s ever-changing landscape. This Episode Invites You To: ✅ Explore your unique constitution and what grounds and centers you✅ Develop awareness of your personal cycles and rhythms, learning to ride the tides of your energy✅ Strengthen your core values and integrity as an "eternal keel" for stability✅ Maintain a balanced perspective: face new challenges with courage while honoring past wisdom Tune in to discover how structure and flow can coexist, allowing you to move through transitions with grace and confidence.

Now, through her offerings at Yoga Wild, Kelly weaves her love for conservation, her passion for holding sacred spaces, and the transformative teachings of yoga to create a ripple of healing and connection in her community.
