Welcome to the Yoga Inspired Life podcast. I'm your host, Shayla Quinn, and together we'll go on a journey of self-discovery as we explore all of the inner workings of what it means to live in inspired life. Join me for solo episodes and conversations with special guests for real, authentic deep dives into all things yoga, wellness, self-love,

mindfulness, and everything in between.

If you're ready to get inspired, learn, grow, evolve, to connect and up-level your life, then you've come to the right place.

I am beyond excited that you're here. So let's dive in.

Hi, my love. Welcome to the Yoga Inspired Life podcast. I have like so much anxiety recording this episode.

I just have like a pit in my stomach.

But before I get into today's episode, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here,

whether you've been listening since the very beginning or you found this podcast more recently.

I do not take your time or your presence lightly. This podcast has been a constant in my life for nearly six years. And because of that, this episode feels really important to do

intentionally and honestly. So I want to share that I'm going to be taking a break from releasing brand new weekly episodes

for the time being. And I want to first normalize this. I'm rationalizing this for myself and for

you. If you work a traditional nine to five, you probably get time off around the holidays.

There are built in pauses, built in resets, built in moments to step back,

reflect and come back refreshed. And as an entrepreneur and creator, especially in this space,

that's something I've honestly never really allowed myself. Like, I don't, I don't really take breaks.

I never give myself time and space. Like I try to build it into my days,

but really just because of the nature of what I do, there's always something to do or something to put out or something to create.

And this podcast has been running almost nonstop for close to six years, which is crazy.

I've released over 280 episodes. I've only

ever missed maybe one episode. I'm pretty sure that was when my dog Penny passed away. But other

than that, I have shown up week after week, year after year, consistently holding this space.

And I'm really proud of that. That is true
