Sometimes, the luminaries on this show start movements or write books that inspire people. In the case of this week's guest, she created a thriving platform called Get Loved Up, which consists of her bustling social media channels, her YouTube channel, books, and a podcast of the same name. Her name is Koya Webb, and she grew up in a small town in Tennessee with dreams of becoming an Olympian athlete in track and field. 

She was first introduced to yoga after a debilitating track injury that forced her to drop out of training. Once she recognized the physical and mental benefits of yoga, Koya shifted her focus to personal training and life coaching, combining the work ethic of an athlete with holistic health practices that anyone can follow to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

While she still runs a mile a day, her mission is now to connect with her millions of followers and create content that helps them heal themselves and be self-sufficient on their own spiritual paths. Today, Koya is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, celebrity holistic health coach, author, speaker, and vegan activist whose core mission is to promote daily self-care, oneness, and eco-friendly living to combat some of the world’s biggest challenges, including mental health, social injustices, and global warming. 

In this episode, Koya shares her journey from track star to yoga teacher to vegan chef to internationally renowned wellness influencer and some of the lessons she has learned along the way.

As always, you will hear about her upbringing and how it defined who she is today, and Koya offers some insight into what she learned about nurturing from her mother and what basketball taught her about resilience.
