In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome Stephanie Phelan, whose journey takes her from the high-energy world of the Today Show to the calming, intentional practice of yoga.

She opens up about turning moments of anxiety into empowering energy and how yoga taught her to find strength in stillness. Stephanie’s story reminds us that even through life’s hardest moments, there’s a way to live with heart and purpose. Grab your headphones and let’s dive into this inspiring, soulful conversation! 

Here’s a little look at what we’ll be covering today:

  • Transition: the practical and spiritual aspects of a massive life change
  • Stephanie’s journey with a powerful career shift
  • The power of loss and grief into transformation; how Stephanie’s experience losing her brother propelled a deeper awakening
  • The power of meditation and mindfulness to bring awareness to our experiences (the benefits + the tangible “how” behind this practice)
  • The power of finding the “Dharma” or spiritual wisdom in everyday life; bringing your movement routine or even a traffic jam into part of your practice
  • Navigating life as both a business owner and spiritual teacher
  •  + SO MUCH MORE!
