Being and Becoming

Welcome to Heal Your Human! In this episode, we dive into the pivotal question of whether to quit or keep going in various aspects of our lives. Our lives revolve around decisions constantly, and sometimes it's more exhausting to make big decisions than to actually just keep working at it. There are many reasons we might stay at a job, in a relationship, keep at a sport, etc, but a big reason might not be passion; it might be guilt. To help us make big shifts and changes in our lives, we must fall back on our why and our values. Our previous episode shared tips on getting clear on your values and how they can be a metric for just about anything. Clarity is a superpower, and constant reflection can help us feel confident in our life decisions.

This episode of 'Heal Your Human' explores the significance of self-worth and how to cultivate it. We discuss the dangers of allowing others to define your worth and emphasize the need for internal validation over external approval. Our conversation highlights the impacts of people-pleasing and the importance of separating actions from intrinsic worth. We outline the differences between self-worth and self-esteem, highlighting that self-worth is inherent and unconditional.  This episode offers practical tips for boosting self-worth, including sticking to facts, keeping promises to oneself, and practicing self-rejection. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on whether they've suppressed aspects of their identity to feel worthy in others' eyes. Just a reminder: we love you, you're so valuable, and we invite you to take the steps to start believing it.

 In today's episode, we share a beautiful conversation with Kristen Beach, a registered yoga teacher and sound healer based in Kamloops, BC. We discuss the creation of her yoga studio, Ropana, the importance of authenticity and personal exploration in yoga, and the diverse activities that ground and heal us. If you've ever been thinking of learning more about yoga or beginning a practice, we hope this episode helps inspire you to start.

About Kristin 

 Kristin began her yoga journey in northern Manitoba more than 17 years ago. Yoga became a way for her to become more present and find a sense of peace and manage her anxiety. 

 Kristin completed her 200-hour teacher training at Semperviva Yoga College in 2014. Since then, she has furthered her education with Yin yoga training led by Bernie Clark, Yoga for Pain Relief with Leslee Watt, and additional training in Restorative yoga. Kristin also loves music and developed an ear for it after playing flute for 6 years. This led to a fascination with singing bowls and the discovery of the intense relaxation from the frequencies. She offers this unique healing experience with so much heart and joy. Kristin is truly remarkable and allows such a safe and healing space for people to show up and just be. She allows individuals to move away from perfection and find their flow and healing within. Kristin currently lives and hosts her studio in the beautiful community of Barnhartvale, BC. Alongside her wonderful husband, Chris, and their two amazing children, Van and Annie, Kristin is often found indulging in her passions for baking delicious treats, gardening, or being in nature.
