On this episode, Ariel is joined by Nancy Lesiotis who tells her story of renewal and healing during the Covid-19 pandemic and how that transformed her career and perspective.

Tip of the Pod: Remember that Apple Watches can help you remember to breathe deeply! Nancy uses hers regularly for this purpose.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When I took up yoga I have no inclination to teach it, but within two weeks of finishing yoga school training I was asked to substitute and, at the time, I was practicing saying “yes” to invite more opportunity and experience into my life. Even though my first reaction was to say “no” because I wasn’t ready, I said “yes” and worked through my fears.
• During Covid I was teaching yoga over Zoom, but now I only do 1-to-1s in the park. I now structure everything around sound healing. Life was pretty rosy in 2019, I had a room prepared and two clients, but then Covid hit, and everything came to a screeching halt. My retail management environment didn’t shut down though, and we suffered with customers blowing up for having a wear masks etc., which was pretty draining.
• I was tired, exhausted and mad at the world, but I had to stop living in pity and madness. So, I dug in, did a lot of writing and made a consistent plan for myself, even if it was just moment to moment. Just breathing properly helped to get my healthy in body and mind, as I tend to hold my breath.
• What I’ve learned was to reinforce, renew and cultivate my relationships and friendships and stay present with them. I wanted to make it through without feeling sorry for myself, despite my personal losses. I’m responsible for a lot of people, especially in the retail environment.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"I’m still learning."

"Tuning forks are a great starting point if you wanted to start in sound healing."

"We might have a ton of tools in our toolbox, but how many are we using and are we using them consistently?"

"Deeply connecting with my mother and my sister have been the best relationships to come out of Covid."
