Open Discussions With the Spiritual Homie

For Episode 8, the final episode of Season 1, Roshaun — aka The Spiritual Homie — sits down with someone special: Angie Franklin, the founder of AfroYoga here in Sacramento.

Angie seemed like the perfect person to help us wrap up this first season of the podcast, and phew! She delivers with some incredibly insightful — and vulnerable — tales of her journey towards a full life of wellness. And we're not talking just yoga...

We don't want to give away too much in this description, but trust: When you tune into this final episode you'll understand why Angie is a gift, and why you are, too. Make this life the way you want it to be.

Tune in, and #BeWellSacramento.
