Motherhood changes everything, especially the way we move, breathe, and connect with ourselves. In this soulful episode, I sit down with Sarah Ezrin, author of The Yoga of Parenting, to discuss how yoga evolves after childbirth.

Sarah shares her journey through postpartum anxiety, a traumatic delivery, and the deep healing that came from redefining what yoga meant to her, not just poses, but stillness, movement, breath, and community. Together, we explore how motherhood can transform our relationship with our bodies and our practice, inviting more compassion, creativity, and presence into everyday life.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself after becoming a mother, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible, one mindful breath at a time.

🌿 We explore

* How yoga can support postpartum anxiety and emotional healing

* The impact of COVID-19 isolation on new mothers

* Why traditional yoga didn’t work for Sarah — and what actually did

* How to rebuild a connection with your body after birth

* The philosophy behind The Yoga of Parenting

* What real postpartum recovery looks like beyond “bounce-back” culture

* Simple yoga and mindfulness practices for busy moms

Halloween was never meant to be about fear or fright. It began as a sacred time of reflection, rooted in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.

In this heartfelt solo episode, I invite you to slow down and reconnect with the deeper meaning of this season. Together, we explore how honoring our ancestors, cooking with seasonal ingredients, and spending mindful moments outdoors can help us return to the soulful essence of Halloween.

Through ancestral altars, storytelling by the fire, and simple family rituals, I share ways to bring presence and meaning back into this time of year. It is not just about costumes and candy, but about remembrance, gratitude, and rhythm. When we blend ancient wisdom with the celebrations of today, we create traditions that feel grounded, mindful, and full of heart.

🌿 We explore

* Halloween began as Samhain, a Celtic festival honoring the end of harvest and the turning of seasons.

* This time was seen as sacred, when the veil between worlds grew thin and people honored ancestors through ritual.

* Christianity later layered All Saints and All Souls traditions onto Samhain, blending reverence with new customs.

* Modern celebrations often overlook these roots, but we can still reconnect through intention and simplicity.

* Creating an ancestral altar with natural elements invites reflection and family connection.

* Cooking seasonal foods and taking quiet walks outdoors help us slow down and feel the rhythm of the earth.

* When we celebrate with awareness, Halloween becomes a moment of remembrance, gratitude, and spiritual renewal.

We hear the word surrender all the time, but what does it actually look like in practice?

So often, when life feels uncertain or heavy, our instinct is to tighten our grip and try to control everything around us. But what happens when we learn to surrender in real time in the messy, unpolished, everyday moments of letting go and allowing life to move through us?

This isn’t a highlight reel or a quick fix. It’s about releasing the illusion that we can control outcomes and learning to trust what’s unfolding.

In this episode, I share nine reflection questions to help you surrender control and reconnect with what truly matters. These are the same prompts I’ve been working through in my own journal, the ones that have helped me release resistance, trust timing, and create space for peace and flow.

This isn’t about giving up; it’s about creating space for what’s meant to unfold. I talk about how I’ve been practicing surrender in my business, motherhood, and personal growth journey, and how it’s teaching me to move with more flow, trust, and presence.

Whether you’re navigating change in motherhood, entrepreneurship, or your personal life, this conversation will help you soften the pressure to have it all figured out and start living with a little more grace.

🌿 We explore

* What surrender really looks like in daily life

* Why control is just an illusion (and how to release it)

* Learning to trust what’s unfolding instead of forcing outcomes

* How surrender shows up in motherhood, business, and growth

* Letting life move through you, not to you

* The peace and freedom that come from softening control

* Small, grounded ways to practice surrender every day
