Today, at the table we have two of my dearest friends, Reese McGillie and Abiola Akanni. We talk all about settling into us and taking up our space, cultural shifts in beauty standards, wellness as sacred ritual and yoga as nourishing movement. Reese is a thought leader with nearly 30 years of professional experience working across technology, marketing and analytics. She began her career journey working in software engineering but finally found her destiny working in analytics and data science where she gets to blend her passion for creating great human experiences with her interests in data and analysis. In addition to her professional career she is a certified yoga instructor and spends much of her spare time teaching yoga. Throughout her career she has leveraged her skills and experience to further philanthropic causes - serving on boards and steering committees for a few different Seattle non-profit organizations. Reese currently serves on the board of Community Passageways, a non-profit focused on felony diversion and prevention with a vision of ending youth incarceration. Reese resides in Seattle with her two children, husband and three dogs.

Abiola is a leader in the field of yoga, and has successfully cultivated inclusive wellness spaces that encourage communities to develop their personal yoga practice. The Nigerian-American yoga educator is the creator behind Yoga by Biola and founder of iya, the online platform offering non-performative yoga. Akanni is committed to disrupting commercial yoga standards that blot out other'd communities, and prioritize fitness-based poses over adaptable asana. Her inclusive mission encourages students to be who they are on and off the mat to embody non-performative living.

Today, we spill the tea on the choices we make with one of my dear friends, Tricia. We talk deeply about the many crossroads we face in life and the personal accountability and responsibility that having free will gives us over co-creating our lives. Tricia is a real one! After 25 years of career experience in sales, relationship development & leadership, Tricia was drawn to follow her dream of becoming a transformation coach. She has coached women from NBC, Verizon, Lululemon, BNY Mellon, Devon Energy, and Core & Main. Tricia brings her contagious energy and positivity to her clients while sprinkling in her desire to have fun in all she does. When she's not helping her clients transform their lives, she enjoys spending time with her family & friends, attending boot camp classes, golfing, and enjoying craft beer on brewery visits.

Today's Tea is on Awakening to our Higher Selves. My dear friend from childhood, Keria Joseph, joins me on the podcast today and we go deep-deep sharing vulnerably what it's like to be on the spiritual path, having a spiritual awakening and learning to embody the frequency of love. I hope this conversation expands you and helps you see how this path is ultimately about healing the relationship we have with ourselves. Keria is a poet. Since childhood, poetry has been her way of navigating and translating the world first from love to beginning to understand what love is. Throughout her life, she's held many titles including teacher, photographer, congressional staffer, but the roles she holds most to her heart are simply those of lover, mother, daughter and friend, for those are the greatest privileges she's ever known. Keria recently launched a self care brand inspired by her poetry and her own journey in love and healing called Santal and Rose and she's currently in the process of writing a book and putting together a blog to launch later in the year.
