Did you know your breath directly relates to your quality of life? Powerful thought. Our guest this week, Emily Spang, is the Founder of Haarbor, which creates a space for people to find connection within themselves and outside of themselves through group breathwork and meditation sessions. Emily shares her journey to find breathwork and its powerful ability to transform our relationship with our intention, body and community. She encourages us to focus on our breath, lead life with more feminine energy, and, most importantly, start from within.

When it comes to self-care, we often overcomplicate things, thinking we have to make huge changes. Our guest this week, Danika Brysha, Wellness Entrepreneur, Body Positive Fashion Model signed with IMG Models, and a Self-Care + Lifestyle Design Coach, is the perfect person to explain why self-care starts small. She shares how her own journey led to the creation of a self-care checklist and why we should take things one day at a time. Danika encourages us to look inside ourselves and start asking important questions because we already have the answers inside us.

Our guest this week, Rachel Jepsen, nonfiction writer and executive editor for Every, is the perfect person to speak on finding your voice and what that looks like. I know many members of the Good Space community have some type of involvement in, and passion for, creativity in some way. For me, that's through my writing and through The Good Space. Rachel shares with us why she feels that "chaos isn’t only necessary to create anything, harnessing chaos is possible and our ultimate creative state." By the end of this post, I hope you’ll feel inspired and encourage to step further into your creative voice.

A while ago, I received a request from a Good Space community member to bring Sarah Baldwin, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and an Embodied Coach, on the show! So, this week, she joined me for a conversation I think we could all use, what emotional trauma really is, and how to actually begin healing it. We discuss how to know if you're dealing with your own trauma, where it can stem from, and how we can teach our bodies to feel safe again. Sarah also takes us through how our bodies carry trauma what can happen if trauma does go left untreated and gives practices you can use to begin your own healing.

I’m so excited to welcome back Dr. Jody Carrington, our guest from episode 8, for a conversation about connection, relationships, and being brave. As the author of Kids These Days and newly released Teachers These days, we catch up on everything that’s happened since she last joined us and how her mindset and strategy have changed since writing her first book. Jody also shares why connection is more important than ever, especially as we’re adapting to life while the global pandemic continues, and gives us brave actions we can take to start reconnecting.

Our guest this week, Jules Evans, researcher, philosopher, and the person that inspired me to dive into this whole realm of mixing spirituality with conspiracy, joined me for a conversation to talk all things socratic and ecstatic, conspirituality, and creating boundaries in your own spirituality. Jules tells us how a freak skiing accident helped him heal from a life of misadventure with drugs, and led him all the way back to the Stoics of Ancient Greece and the work that he does. We chat about the concept of conspirituality and being able to enjoy spirituality without falling into these more darker areas.
