Woven Conversations

Guest Graham Treadway moves from sound man to the microphone as we discuss what brought me to yoga, how I see yoga in my life off the mat and the connection between Christianity, religion and a robust yoga practice. 

Welcome to Woven Bubblings, the space between all the things woven together. In honor of all things Valentine's and love, Michele shares a special prayer for each of you. This piece is called A Reminder by Sarah Bessey, in her recently published collection, A Rhythm of Prayer. 

Longtime friend Wendy Searfoss joined me to discuss books, spirituality and teen mental health. We both share a history of working with teenagers (that's how we met!) and share similar concerns about keeping kids feeling connected to themselves and one another in the digital age. Also, we love books. 

This episode features Holly Schweitzer Dunn, LISW, who specializes in trauma and body-centered approaches to mental wellness. We hear about her high-maintenance off-menu ordering habits and from her work as a therapist what we can learn about the mind when we pay attention to the body. 

Rev. (soon-to-be-Dr.) Anna Guillozet and I could’ve talked all day about what it means to be a spiritual being in a physical body. Here’s the best 20-ish minutes of that convo. We also get into the heirarchy of naps and the challenges of women in leadership, because everything is connected. 

Local fitness coach Stephanie Book shares about how movement has changed her life over time and what it means to keep fresh with our practices. We dove into the the mental and emotionally helpful aspects of moving and how we go about keeping things exciting once the dullness of habit kicks in. 

Michele and guest Bert Dible dive right into the changing understanding of what it means to be a man in today's society and how that might be shifting young men's experiences. 

Guest Megan Bair, Women's Health Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife goes *there* when it comes to talking about yoga and the experience of being a woman. She brings up sex, confidence of young girls, and what it means to have a legacy. 

What does it mean to take care of yourself so you can be your best for others? Why is it so hard to show up to yourself? 

Guest Jordan Treadway and Michele discuss the work of Showing up to yourself and others.
