In this epsiode, I am so excited to welcome my good friend and colleague, Joy Stone. Joy and I met over a decade ago in our positive psychology certification at Kripalu. At the time she was a yoga instructor and I had just left my corporate job in pursuit of what was next for me. Since then we both have helped hundreds of women reclaim their truth and authenticity.

Joy is a spiritual teacher, soul connection coach, and bestselling author. She specializes in empowering women to achieve inner peace, self-trust, and alignment with their soul's truth. Her unique approach weaves together ancient wisdom and contemporary depth psychology to address disconnection, self-doubt and anxiety, promoting confidence, freedom and joy. She is the bestselling author of "If I'm So Spiritual, Why Am I Still So Anxious?"

Today's topic is all about the owning your authenticity. We discuss how we can become disconnected from our truth, and get stuck in self-sabotaging patterns or cycles of anxiety, and how remembering the truth of who we are, our soul self/true self/authentic self/unseen self is the way to end this suffering. Joy offers her teachings from the perspective of yoga psychology to help aid in a process of reclaiming our power and authenticity. She also shares her own remarkable personal story of how she founds her path, and ended her battle with anxierty and unworthiness, to become a spiritual teacher.
