Homebody Podcast

This is a conversation for every woman who has ever felt that deep ache of having to simplify, reduce and cut down on emotions that aren't welcomed or held through the world we live in.
In this exploration, we dive deep into what it means to belong to a tribe, to belong to community, to connect with belonging on your own terms,
we dive into the distinction between belonging and fitting in, inviting each and every part of you and being honored and welcomed as you are.
Hanaa is a previous ALIVE graduate, friend & incredible villager. In this episode, we dive into her journey with ALIVE & how it has shaped her living embodiment and experience within her business and within her life, freeing her energy to create for the joy of creating while holding space for the many shades of grey that come with being true to yourself.
To find and connect with Hanaa's work and dive into her mediums of expression, head here.

Our jobs shape more than how we earn a living,

they deeply inform our values in life, where the majority of our time goes, the conversations we follow and the tribe we belong to. A job isn't just a means of living, it's deeply planted into how we're wired to move through life,

This is a conversation on creating for yourself a job outside of any norms, structure and formal entities,

Learning to follow through self-trust and build self-respect, finding your own village and building a relationship with your intuition.

I've been deeply obsessed about turning my deep respect for the tradition and practice of yoga into a sustainable means of living, building an ethical business that deeply embodies all the spiritual traditions and honors the practice while also being able to leave a deep impact through this practice, blending my personal 6 years of guiding and facilitating yoga alongside managing a yoga studio and walking out of an 8 year corporate career into this experience and conversation.

If you're equally obsessed about making this path equally fulfilling and sustainable as a guide, facilitator and practitioner,

I would love to have you inside ALIVE my 4 months mastermind where we bring delusions into reality & find creative ways to make this practice financially feasible while leaving the impact our work deserves,

- What money stories represent, how numbers and financials are a lot much more than actual figures, they have the power to control , confine us or liberate and support us.

- The hidden ways our relationship with money surfaces, how it controls our choices, and how we can transmute feelings of lack, fear and paralysis into a slow, embodied and gentle rhythm.
