Yoga with Biddy

What happens when you finally stop fighting your body and actually start listening to it? In this episode, I share how a stubborn wrist injury and years of dealing with hypermobility forced me to slow down. Tune in to hear how an on-and-off relationship with yoga turned into a daily practice, how a simple Cat/Cow stretch became a game-changer, and why shifting your mindset can be much more powerful than pushing through the pain.

Research explains why we are mean to ourselves and that we can change it. Dive into self talk and its effect with me.

Hi, I’m Biddy. A yoga therapist, teacher and teacher trainer. In these podcasts, I talk about my work and the things I discover, see and notice. The things I am passionate about or surprised by.

This article was also sent out as a newsletter and published as an article on my website. My plan is to write articles and letters like this about topics that I’m passionate about more regularly. I hope you will enjoy them! If you would like to receive the letters in your mailbox, go to the website to subscribe: yogawithbiddy.com

Join me as I sit down with Ely and Marcella to talk about Motherhood! Marcella is the mother of two amazing twin boys (a little over 7 months old when we recorded). Ely is pregnant and expecting her baby in June this year. Biddy chose to not become a mother.

We share our thoughts, our questions, our struggles and our happiness. Not just with each other, but very gladly with you! We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas, share them with us in the comments of this episode on www.showupandsurrender.com.

Trigger warning: in this episode we discuss pregnancy and pregnancy loss, motherhood and choosing not to become a mother. If you don't want to listen to these topics, we hope you will enjoy one of the many other episodes we have available to you!

Letting go of perfectionism to bring the podcast back...

I’ve missed putting out the podcast, and I am excited to announce its return. New format, new thoughts. Listen here to hear what I am planning for the podcast and how I am trying to let go of perfectionism! I am hoping you will enjoy the return of Show Up and Surrender!

The website enjoyed a little love and care! Take a look and find our other episodes with added information at www.showupandsurrender.com.

Stephen is back on the podcast and joins me for a conversation that is open and honest. For both of us, this topic is quite raw and painful, yet at the same time very important. How does it feel to live in a body that doesn't let you do what you want. And we don't mean running a marathon up a mountain, or becoming an astronaut. We mean the things we think we should be able to do. Do you experience this too? How is it for you?

This episode was recorded quite a while ago (October 2022), yet as I talked to Stephen about releasing it we found that it was actually quite fitting at this moment in time. So here it is. Grab a drink, make yourself comfy or maybe take us on a walk / ride. Let us know your thoughts, if you have any after listening.

You can find Stephen at stephenlightbown.com & on Instagram @spokeandpencil.

Show Up and Surrender is rebooted and back! Today I tell you about what I have been up to at the end of 2022. I also share about why I haven't shared a new episode in a while. It has been hard for me to not release bi-weekly episodes, because having these conversations and sharing them with you is something that I love to do!

What do you do, when there is something you love doing, yet you can't seem to find the time to do it? How do you deal with that? Please let me know, I would love to hear from you!

I will keep showing up and sharing these conversations with you. They will come when they are ready, so sometimes bi-weekly and other times it might take a little longer.

In this episode I talk to Ely about Quiet, the impact the book had on us and how the world impacts introverts like us. I had a great time talking about not only the book, but also our lives. The things we do and experience in our daily lives, that can be so different for people based on their personalities.

We hope you'll enjoy listening and are very curious where you see yourself on the introvert/extrovert scale. Go to our website to find links to all the things we talk about, including links to tests about personalities!

If you liked listening to us nerd out a little on books, than the Zero Pressure Book Club might also be for you. A book club with NO required reading. Instead, you are invited to join and talk about a book you love, or maybe even a book you didn't like ;). We'd love to hear what you've been reading! The next meeting for the Zero Pressure Book Club is Friday September 16. Go to our website to find the link to the club!
