Hi good people,

This month's episode is a little different. I don't have an interview for you. Instead, I will be sitting down for a story time to let you in on what has been happening behind the scenes and what will be happening with the podcast going forward.

Dahiana Green is your Green Carbon Queen. She is a firm believer that it is the ultimate goal of life to yoke or unify your spiritual form with your mind, and your physical body through conscious breathing and all forms of spiritual nutrition and will power. It is then naturally that life brought her to the practices of different types of holistic and spiritual practices such as yoga, from Hatha, to Ashtanga and Kemetic; culinary ventures and certifications, becoming a plant based chef, a certified nutritionist , currently undertaking her Sunfired culinary certification at the Land of Life in Panama.

It is with the blended knowledge of all those specialties that she is proposing her services as a facilitator, helping you reach at your own pace the ultimate goal of Self.
