In this episode of Authbition, Andrew DiMeo sits down with Joanna Gaertner—ICF credentialed life coach, founder of Yoga Off Mat, and lead at Homebody Yoga in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Together they explore Joanna’s journey from New York to Raleigh, her path into coaching, the power of yoga beyond the mat, and why awareness is often the first step toward meaningful change.

The conversation moves through mentorship, healing, personal growth, fear, trust, and what it means to live with greater alignment.

They also play The Whole Mind Game on the tension between Fear and Trust.

What begins as a familiar opposition opens into something deeper:

• Fear can create safety, preparation, learning, and energy.

• Trust can create connection, integrity, creativity, and courage.

• The “best of the best” became: Creative Awareness.

This is a thoughtful conversation about growth, embodiment, and learning how to trust life without losing wisdom.
