Welcome, everybody. So excited to be here with our next guest. We have Coya Webb with us today. So

Coya, welcome, welcome, welcome. So glad to have you here. Thank you so much for having me. It's so

exciting to be here. So we'd love to hear about your work in the world,

what you're doing, and then we can dive into a few questions we have for you. I think at this time,

I'm mostly excited about unity and how we can collectively find this place of love, of unconditional love and support together.

I feel that challenges only make us stronger, and we are being challenged a lot and mentally,

spiritually, physically across the board, we are being put to the test.

I think our mindset matters, our physical and mental health matters, and how well we can

communicate and connect with other people. Those things, I feel, are the foundation of how we're going to grow through this time.

How do you collectively heal? What does that mean? And what are the steps towards that?

I think the first step is acknowledging the pain, acknowledging the problem. Like right now,

we're talking about racism and acknowledging that exists,

you know, and acknowledging things like white supremacy and things like that that exist that

people don't really want to talk about, you know, talking about politics that are all over

their place right now, but it's happening. And I know a lot of times, especially

even in the wellness community and the yoga community, we're going to push those things to the

side and we don't really only talk about it's kind of messy. And the beautiful part of life

in our human experience is that we have an opportunity to heal, but we can't heal

if we don't know that there's a problem.

You'll never put a band-aid on a cut or allow a chance to heal if you don't know it's

there.

And I feel that the first step to community healing or collective healing is acknowledging the problem.
