Carrie and Zach talk about the last month of life at Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. Is it ok to feel happiness during a time when many are suffering? What does yoga say about how we should act in trying times? We talk politics, the yamas and niyamas, and explain how we feel about some of the current events in the USA.

In this episode, we explore what it means to get stuck in the cycle of healing, especially in recovery and spiritual spaces. We talk about addiction recovery, trauma, identity, integration, service, and the danger of over-identifying with our wounds.

From AA and sobriety to yoga philosophy, Jung’s wounded healer, and the importance of service, this conversation invites listeners to ask:

Am I in need of more healing… or am I avoiding living and sharing my gifts?

You don’t have to be fully healed to serve. You don’t need the perfect environment to practice yoga. And growth doesn’t always mean doing more healing work every second.

Zach and Carrie talk about 2025 in review. They discuss the drama of the yoga retreat industry, travel, and entrepreneurship as a couple. They share plans and goals for 2026.
