The Highest Vision

Today's episode is a replay of one of our earliest interviews,  all about reclaiming the art of leisure in our busy lives. We discuss the importance of downtime and why it's actually productive, while also getting real about the challenges involved in reclaiming your leisure time as both founders and as working moms. We offer tactical advice to implement more meaningful downtime into your day and discuss Lunya's new initiative Otium, which aims to promote more meaningful leisure through eating, playing, resting, contemplating, learning, resting and so much more. Learn more about Otium here.

With expansion, comes contraction. From highs, come lows. As we push ourselves to new levels, it can feel like two steps forward, one step backwards at times and I want you to know that's all part of the journey. Today, I share my experience with contraction as I grow and evolve and how I now understand it's simply part of the evolution, not taking away from it.

The world loves to tell us self care is the solution to our burnout and overwhelm, however I think self prioritization is the answer we've been seeking.  Putting yourself first, is the best way to care for yourself. It's not selfish! I believe you can live a life that is simultaneously selfish and selfless and I hope today's episode empowers you to put yourself first.

Today, I talk about the inevitable dark days that come with following a dream. I feel like the state of the world has only exacerbated the hard stuff and it's important to talk about. From my experience, it's not always the "dream" itself that leads to the dark days, it's the fact that life happens simultaneously and sometimes it all just feels like too much. I hope today's episode helps you to feel less alone in this crazy thing called life.

Today, Hilary Jackendoff shares her effortless approach to expansion, evolution and embracing the new paradigm of work. This was a hilariously "difficult" convo on ease and effortlessness and we laughed a lot along the way. We also get real and raw about the challenges we face  embracing the new paradigm since it can be hard to break away from old conditioning that tells us we need to work harder, push ourselves and sacrifice our well being to achieve our goals. We are also both Projectors in human design and dig into the specific challenges this design can face and how we can help lead the way in embracing the shift in how the world works.

More about our guest:

Hilary Jackendoff began studying Tantric Yoga in 2008, following a powerful experience with Yoga Nidra at an ashram in New Zealand. After spending time in India, she spent two years formally training and living as a resident at an ashram in Australia, where her academic background in Western and Eastern Philosophy led her to become a bit of a yoga nerd. 

 As a Yoga Nidra & Meditation teacher and Teacher Trainer, Hilary’s nuanced, accessible approach to teaching aims to demystify ancient wisdom, balancing the esoteric and the pragmatic. Yoga Nidra rests at the center of her practice, both personally and professionally, as it has been the single most effective tool in navigating her own insomnia and anxiety.

 Hilary is a founding teacher at The DEN Meditation and a Wanderlust Festival teacher, who has been featured for her work around Yoga Nidra meditation for sleep on numerous platforms, including Good Morning America. Hilary offers corporate meditation & Yoga Nidra sessions for startups and Fortune 500 companies. She leads Yoga Nidra Teacher Trainings, Meditation Teacher Trainings, and has a variety of online offerings, including teacher mentorship, and mantra chanting. When practicing with Hilary, expect a blend of applicable wisdom, deep devotion, playful irreverence, and plenty of laughs.

 She lives in Los Angeles with her partner and enjoys hiking, awkwardly dancing whenever she gets the chance, and birdwatching from her hammock.
