So often, we do what is expected of us. But what if you stripped those expectations away? Who would you be, then? What would you be being and doing? 

In this episode hear from scientist, yoga teacher, coach, and host of The Strip podcast, Kate Astill. Kate shares her quest to get to where she is now, and the strategies every creative (i.e. human being) can use to live and find authentic expression. 

And, have you ever wondered if yoga and meditation could boost your creativity?

(In this episode we discuss anxiety; this conversation is not medical advice. Please seek professional help from a psychologist or medical professional as needed.)

Take good care,
