Summary
A big thank you to our sponsor for this episode: Thrive Causemetics
Thrive Causemetics was born out of a friendship. Makeup artist and product developer, Karissa Bodnar, lost her dear friend Kristy to cancer at just 24 years old. Kristy’s compassionate and vivacious spirit inspired Karissa to establish Thrive Causemetics, a beauty brand and philosophy that goes beyond skin deep by empowering women.
Thrive Causemetics’ products are made with high-performance, skin-loving ingredients that are 100% vegan and cruelty free. For every product purchased, Thrive helps women in need by donating funds and products to women who’ve experienced domestic abuse, to women seeking a path out of homelessness, as well as our women veterans during and after their military service.

After pursuing a career in broadcasting and film, Shayla's mom passed away unexpectedly, and the loss led her to drastically change her outlook and life direction. Since then she's devoted herself to learning about and utilizing the mind-body connection to help others heal, both on and off the mat. Her students learn real-life tactics to cope with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction—things Shayla struggled with herself prior to her journey with yoga and wellness. Along with teaching trauma-sensitive yoga and offering personalized nutritional advice, Shayla is working toward becoming a licensed counsellor.
