Come and listen to our Gia-Raquel Rose for our “Unapologetically Unique” Podcast Series.

This mini-series serves to distill success into its truest form—standing firmly in your own identity. We are moving beyond the comparison game to help you lead with unapologetic confidence. By anchoring your habits in self-belief rather than outside expectations, you’ll shift from chasing temporary inspiration to becoming a changemaker with lasting, year-long momentum. 

Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal. In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.

We talk about what happens to your nutrition when life gets stressful and your routine falls apart, and how to stay close to your health goals without pretending you never crave comfort food. We share realistic “meet yourself halfway” strategies, two fast paleo-friendly meals, and why protein becomes even more important as we age.

• moving stress and disrupted routines shaping cravings and choices
• comfort foods and targeted cheats that stay aligned with goals
• keeping quick staples on hand to avoid defaulting to junk food
• cauliflower fried rice with eggs, avocado oil and coconut aminos
• egg white wraps with jackfruit, slaw and a paleo-style sauce
• making dietary change sustainable through creativity and experimentation
• listening to your body and adjusting protein intake over time
• simple protein rule of thumb and why too much can backfire

• balancing outside guidance with self-trust and discernment
• using the body as a signal for what fits and what does not
