Bigger Life Podcast

We talk about the last year of our lives, from the day that Zach broke his ankle 6/18/2022 to today, 6/18/2023. It's a long one where we talk about medical trauma, depression, drug-induced spiritual journeys, healing, suffering, growth, and growing older. @biggerlifeadventures or BiggerLifeAdventures.com

In Episode 2 we continue talking about the Yamas, a set of ethical guidelines in yoga philosophy. Satya means truth-telling or honesty and we discuss what it means to us!

We begin our series on the yamas and niyamas with a discussion of Ahimsa, the first and most famous of the yogic principles called "The Yamas".

This episode was recorded in April of 2022 and we are just now getting it out to you. The events described in our intro happened back in the spring, but we left it in because it gives you a good picture of our semi-nomadic life.

Zach & Carrie talk about their experience getting Sak Yant sacred bamboo tattoos in Ayutthaya, Thailand. It was one of their most memorable travel experiences of all time.

Here is the video to go along with the story:

Carrie and Zach discuss how they came to live in a van, their travels, failing forward, founding Bigger Life Adventures, and what they hope to accomplish in the near future with their yoga for recovery retreat company!

Nature has a great capacity to heal; all one needs to do is be part of it. Carrie and Zach recorded this podcast all about nature and hiking from the bottom of the Grand Canyon. They talk about using the healing powers of nature, and ways for everyone to experience it.

Zach finally tells his story about growing up in a small town, traveling the world, becoming a chef, his struggles with addiction and finally getting sober.

Zach and Carrie also talk about how sobering up at different times affected their relationship and almost ruined everything. Carrie got sober 2 years before Zach really took his first attempt at it.

They also discuss the differences in their respective "rock bottom" experiences, and whether or not you have to have a rock bottom to quit drinking.

Carrie and Molly share their stories of how they came to be sober and offer inspiration for those seeking a bigger life.
