For today's episode, I sat down with Celeste Unali, a yoga and meditation teacher and women's mindset coach based in Australia. After a decade of working her way up the corporate ladder and experiencing plenty of success in the workplace, Celeste found herself feeling more uninspired and disconnected than ever. A deep journey of self-development led her to yoga, where she unexpectedly fell in love with the magic of mindfulness and watched as it unfolded in her life, driving deeper connection, purpose, and peace within herself and her relationships.Celeste and I discuss why you might need yoga as a high achiever, what to do if slowing down feels uncomfortable to you, and how the practice might be the key to giving you clarity on how to find more purpose, meaning, and joy in your life.Get full show notes and more information here: https://erikabelanger.com/236

If you hate when you do get angry and try your best to avoid this uncomfortable emotion, today’s practice is for you.Learn how to feel anger and process it in a way that feels safe and doesn’t hurt yourself or anyone else. When you stop avoiding this emotion, you won’t have to be sarcastic in disagreement, if uncomfortable with conflict, to control everything (including of your emotions), to shutdown when you’re upset, to feel resentful when people don’t do what you expect… or to numb difficult emotions.Today somatic practice goes with my free workbook on how to feel your emotions and our episode 227 : Feel it to heal it and is an example of how to move the energy of anger out of your body, so next time you feel angry, you’ll know exactly what to do instead of repressing, numbing or overreacting, and I promise, you’ll be left wide-eyed wondering how you are just learning this now.This somatic practice is part of our premium subscription, to get access to it, become a premium podcast member.When you leave a review for the podcast on iTunes you can have access to the membership for free, including today’s class as a thank you for helping others to find the podcast and on their healing journey.
