This week we welcome Turiya Warman, an Ayurvedic Nutrition and Lifestyle Therapist, massage therapist, meditation teacher and chef living in Edinburgh, Scotland. Not only is she an incredibly hardworking and talented woman, she is someone who has used her skills, knowledge, and passion for learning to explore what it means to grow and improve and love herself along the way. In this episode, we talk about so many things ranging from Turiya's own self care regimens and how she practices awareness in her daily life., all the way into the armour we all tend to use at times to protect ourselves and what it feels like to take them off! We talk a bit about Ayurveda and the Enneagram, meditation, the benefits of journaling, and finding our creative selves again. This week's conversation is one for the books, as it dives deeply into all aspects of self awareness and self exploration. Let's get blooming. Thanks, Turiya!

This week on Blooming Beyond Borders I talk about the importance of spending time on our own. Sometimes self care can look like more solitude, and sometimes it can look like less. The important part is HOW we spend that time. I talk about the struggle I have had with this topic and how easy it is for us to turn to external people or things instead of going inward. It's a whole lot harder, with a whole more benefits in the end. Let's talk about how we can begin to cultivate joy and excitement around spending quality time with ourselves and in turn, making our lives a little bit brighter and fuller. 

In this week's first conversations episode on Blooming Beyond Borders, my partner Flo and I sit down, get cozy and talk about some of his personal growth journeys. Florian is a mountain guide, a trail runner, rock climber, and explorer of all things that combine the wilderness and testing his body and mind. From hitchhiking across England and Scotland to taking part in a (crazy?) 21 day fast, we get into what stepping out of his comfort zone has meant to him. Whether you're interested in meditation, curious about fasting, or simply intrigued by all the different ways in which we can challenge ourselves to grow- this conversation with Flo is for you. It sure was fun to make. :)

On this first official episode of Blooming Beyond Borders, I give you some personal info about who I am and why I felt so inspired to start a podcast dedicated to personal growth. I also go into the three E's-empathy, exploration and empowerment-and how I think those words can change our perspective on growth within ourselves and throughout the world. Let's get Blooming, folks!
