In the earlier stages of my podcast, I often found guests on LinkedIn. Then, I found podcasts through public relations firms and placement agencies. Now, I find them through other podcasters, former guests, friends, and colleagues in the personal development space. I am so excited about the evolution of the show and plan to continue to bring you powerful guests, like my guest, Alicia Zielinski Straub, today.

Alicia and I met through former podcast guest, colleague, and somatic breathwork teacher, Nicole Smith Levay. Alicia and I have been on a breathwork journey together, and now we are taking a meditation and breathwork mentorship (certification together)! It has been wonderful to get to know Alicia, and I am happy to have her as a guest on the show.

During my conversation with Alicia, we chatted about:

1. Her experience many years ago with Hurricane Sandy, and how it cracked her wide open and started her healing journey.
2. Alicia’s vision for her life and how she suggests other women go about finding their own bigger vision for their life and career.
3. The idea of not knowing and how we can be as calm as possible in the middle of that phase of transformation.
4. How we soften into our hearts when we are on a healing or change journey.
5. The advice Alicia would have for any woman who is looking to tap into herself, find stillness, and get prepared for transformation.
