| 0:14.6 | podcast, you'll find honest conversations about health, wellness, self-care, work-life balance, and everything in between. |
| 0:23.4 | We'll cover it all and provide inspiration, resources, and practical tips to help you become |
| 0:29.1 | the healthiest version of yourself, inside and out. |
| 0:33.9 | Hi, everyone. |
| 0:35.1 | Welcome back to the Balance Life podcast. |
| 0:37.3 | I'm so excited for today's episode. I am joined by |
| 0:40.3 | my friend and colleague Keisha Yokers. I'm not sure if you've heard the news yet, but Keisha is |
| 0:46.9 | officially a part of the Lindywell team. She joined us in January as the head of breathwork and somatic |
| 0:53.6 | programs, and I could not be more |
| 0:55.8 | grateful or excited. Many of you have had an opportunity to work with Keisha and get to know Keisha |

| 1:25.7 | She's also a certified holistic health coach and was an elementary school teacher for more than 15 years. |
| 1:32.1 | And what I love about that is you can tell in how she teaches, how she educates, |
