In this deep conversation, Mira Rao and I discuss the concepts of Resilience, Stress, Polyvagal Theory and the neurobiology of trauma, the difference between coaching & therapy, what is embodiment and authentic expression?, and why many of us (with people-pleasing tendencies) aren't setting goals that are really authentic to one's Self. When you understand your biology in terms of how you respond to stress, you'll empower yourself with new options that feel more true to you.

Mira Rao is a Resilience and Embodiment Coach who has been practicing yoga for 25 years, and teaching yoga and body-based therapy for 10. She completed studies in Linguistics and Journalism, holds an MBA and is currently completing a Masters in Counseling at Notre Dame University.

People seek her out when they’re burnt out on getting stuck in their past in therapy or whitewashing their pain with toxic positivity in coaching.

They want to BOTH release old trauma and stress patterns, learn deep and steady self compassion AND make significant changes in their life to move forward with resilience and confidence.

Mira teaches them practical ways to develop routines and rituals for embodied resilience that help them work through unresolved traumas, deal better with challenges and stress and start moving towards what they truly want in their lives.
