23. Every Experience Is Teaching You Something. Feat. Kira West

Listen Later

What if you looked for the lesson in every life experience you had that you didn't enjoy?

In today's episode, Lauren chats with Kira West. Kira is a creator, entrepreneur, and writer. Her passion is for making wellness both more accessible and inclusive. Kira is cultivating an online community that empowers, educates and advocates for the advancement of the historically oppressed. Kira shares how her journey and upbringing have led her to do the work she does today. She also shares her advice to young people struggling to find the "right path" or wanting to take the next step in their life, but feeling lost as to what that step is.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How Kira ran 48 miles in 48hrs and what that experience taught her.
  • What you can gain from working in corporate America. 
  • How to manage a full-time job while running a business outside of work.
  • The importance of saying something when you see something.
  • The power in finding your voice.
  • The importance of setting boundaries to manage your time.
  • Why we really don't have the same amount of hours in the day as Beyonce, and what we can do about it.
  • How to learn from jobs you dislike.
  • Advice for finding a more approachable (and affordable!) wellness practice.
  • How to leverage the power of your network.
