Sophia and I both turned 30 this year and decided to record an episode on life (currently) and to reflect on the good old 20s.

This one's all about the pressures of society/surroundings on career path, figuring out what you're passionate about, and learning to ultimately walk your path and live your life as you want to!

One of my favorite moments in this episode is when we addressed experiencing the moments in between chapters. These can be the hardest, filled with uncertainty and doubt, yet here is where the magic happens. We encourage you, as we encourage ourselves to lean into the present moment, to find the mind-body connection, and to share your journey with someone. We're all in this together. 🧡
