Get A Helmet

Hey babes! Today on the show, we continue the necessary conversation about body image + self worth. The lovely and amazing, Ashley Keefe of Modo Yoga joins us today to share her personal story and journey with an eating disorder. From being hospitalized at the ago of 16 to quitting her job and now owning multiple yoga studios, we hit on some deep and relevant topics for all. It's quite the journey to move through the negative self talk that moves through our heads on a daily basis. Talking about it and moving through it together is the only way. I can't wait for you to hear this one!

Hi friends! On a whim, I decided to pick up the mic and share some details about my personal journey with my body + specifically my weight. We are deep in pre-production on "In This Body", a short film about womxn's body image + self worth. And while I do my research and "talk the body positivity talk", it was time for me to "walk the walk" myself. We go all the way back to my childhood, then journey through high school + college, landing right here in this current moment. I chat all about how dance + movement have resurfaced my confidence and how compassion is the deepest medicine for all things. Buckle up + take this time to send some love to all versions of yourself. Love ya!

This short guided meditation practice incorporates some gentle yoga to move through moments of fear + doubt. Grab your yoga mat, a towel or blanket and press play.

Feelin' good as hell! The vibes are high on this episode with Laura Delarato, a Senior Creative at Refinery29, writer, blogger and body positive activist.
