- Elevating Self Worth and Choosing Yourself with Lihi Be
In this heartfelt episode, we're joined by Lihi Be, a pioneering breathwork, movement, and somatic practitioner whose journey traverses the worlds of mindfulness, tech hustle, and the realities of reclaiming self-worth. Lihi unpacks what it means to truly be in a culture defined by output, shares the radical importance of rest and vulnerability (especially in the LA tech scene), and tells raw stories of heartbreak, transformation, and surviving a near-death experience in the wild. If you're a driven LA tech builder ready to reconnect with your own humanity, this one will hit home.
Key Topics & HighlightsThe Cost of Hustle: Why driven people in tech so often abandon their own well-being for productivity, and how reclaiming self-connection actually increases clarity and output 01:16.
Defining Breathwork: Lihi Benisty shares her transition from yoga to breathwork as a pillar of life and healing 04:17.
Reframing Healing: Ditching the "guru" complex and why real transformation is about reclaiming your autonomy—not outsourcing it to a healer 16:18.
Vulnerability in Tech: Why showing up honestly, even with anxiety or heartbreak, is a strength—not a weakness—for leaders and builders 46:40.
The Power of Boundaries: The liberating effect of saying "no," practicing somatic awareness, and communicating personal needs—even when it feels risky 49:01; 01:05:10.
How to Rest Without Guilt: Rest is not a reward for burnout but a necessity for creativity and productivity. Get three-breath practices to reset before high-stress moments 01:01:21.
Lihi’s Own Reclamation Journey: From depression to a near-fatal encounter with bears, a breakup, and finding new life on Kauai, Lihi keeps it transparent about growth, loss, and realignment 26:00.
Building Community & Integrity: Tips for identifying who’s really “for you” in your network or team—and the value of friends who just sit in the mud with you 55:13.
Leadership: How founders and tech leaders can integrate breathwork, self-inquiry, and community values into their startups for healthier, more effective teams 01:02:08.

1 hr 9 min - Part Two: Behind the Pause | Power of Choice: The Personal Side of the Podcast
The conversation focused on returning to work following a significant personal hiatus. The discussion explored the reasons behind the recent delay in podcast production, highlighting the importance of prioritizing personal well-being, even amidst the fast-paced startup world. Several points were raised, including the experience of encountering unexpected, life-changing events and the journey of returning to work with new perspectives and renewed energy.
- Here's Part One of "Behind the Pause".
Key TakeawaysPrioritizing Well-Being:
A key theme that emerged was the necessity of taking intentional time away from work to care for oneself following challenging circumstances. The conversation underscored the value of giving oneself permission to pause, reset, and come back strongerPerspective on Being a 'Good Person':
One concept discussed was the shift from striving to be a "good person" for others and external systems, toward focusing on self-respect, boundaries, and self-care as the prerequisites for healthy relationships and business outcomesThe Power of Choice:
The discussion delved into the realization that everything—from daily routines to major decisions—is a matter of conscious choice, and that exercising this power leads to greater personal and professional freedomSetting Boundaries:
Several points were raised, including how boundaries are not about pushing people away, but about clarifying what is acceptable and creating room for healthier connections, both personally and within work environmentsSupport and Vulnerability:
The conversation highlighted the importance of sharing openly and asking for support from one’s inner circle, leading to deeper connections and a sense of being genuinely seen and valuedMicro-Wins and Self-Acceptance:
The episode emphasized celebrating every small victory, and the significance of letting go of perfectionism, hustle culture pressure, and harsh self-critique in favor of self-compassion and acknowledgment of growthReframing Productivity and Resilience:
The discussion addressed how to return to creative projects, such as podcast production, from a place of energy, authenticity, and readiness—rather than out of pressure or guiltResourcesBook: Transurfing Reality — A daily practice of choosing one's perspective and authoring one’s own reality was recommended as an influential tool
Podcast: Don't Be a Jerk — Highlighted as a podcast that explores both the human and business sides of leadership
Breathwork: Lihi Be Mentioned as a daily grounding method, specifically referencing short guided sessions for nervous system regulation
Looking ForwardThe episode concluded with anticipation for a renewed commitment to both the podcast and broader LA tech community. The conversation encouraged listeners to embrace their own journeys authentically and to find strength in self-love, support, and the power of choice.

45 min - Part One: Behind the Pause | Navigating Burnout and Boundaries: The Personal Side of the Podcast
This part 1 episode is focused on transparency, vulnerability, and the realities behind the production pause in the WeAreLATech podcast. It's an inside look into the personal and professional challenges faced behind the scenes, illuminating both the rewards and the demands of running a mission-driven show. This episode marks the first of a two-part share, offering deeply personal reflections on burnout, boundaries, and the importance of prioritizing well-being in the pursuit of empowering community.
Things shared...Unexpected Transitions & Production Delay
A key theme that emerged was the importance of acknowledging when life circumstances—both professional and personal—affect the continuity of a creative project. The discussion explored how a significant, essential event led to an unplanned hiatus in podcast production, requiring time to process and regroup 00:01 04:34.Burnout and Mental Health in Creative Work
One concept discussed was chronic burnout, with reflections on the challenge of sustaining a high-output content schedule. Honest dialogue unpacked the difference between energy bursts and true recovery, emphasizing why honoring one’s own energy is crucial—especially after years of podcasting 03:28.Boundaries and Grace
Several points were raised, including lessons learned about personal boundaries versus extending grace. Insights were shared on distinguishing between healthy compassion and naive over-extension, informed by advice from others and firsthand experience 08:38.Purpose and Impact of the Podcast

Stories highlighted the empowering ripple effects: jobs found, companies joined, and dreams realized through the platform 13:45.The Value of Authenticity
A key theme that emerged was the courage to show up authentically, expressing emotions and imperfections rather than maintaining a “polished façade.” The episode models what it means to be vulnerable in leadership and the creative process 11:47.Enjoying the Journey
The episode closes with a reflection on the importance of enjoying the process, questioning whether the focus has shifted too much to outcomes instead of appreciating the creative journey itself 16:26.Resources & CommunityFor more information on upcoming episodes and ways to get involved, visit the podcast’s website or follow on social media. @wearelatech
