Summary

In this episode, Rachel is immersed in her yoga teacher training and is speaking to us from a place of absolute tiredness. Reflecting on her ability to keep going no matter what (really), she ponders something so many of us struggle with: finding the balance between working hard and taking time to rest. Throughout our lives, we fall on different sides of the spectrum between not trying at all and trying too hard. But when we aren’t trying at all - is it due to a fear of failure or are we bravely letting ourselves take some well-deserved space? When we are working non-stop, are we moving toward a place of burning out? How can we find the balance between working, building, manifesting and slowing down, finding peace and keeping our sanity? What if we could find a place of flow and ease in our lives and be able to catch ourselves before we lose it? Ultimately, the universe gives us little clues along the way that hold the secret to a really great life. Tune in for an episode that will help you connect the dots.

0:53.4	So I apologize in advance if this show for any reason is rambly or I don't know.
1:00.5	When I get tired sometimes I either get like inappropriate and weird or I make no sense
1:07.0	whatsoever.
1:08.0	Maybe I'll find some clarity with it myself.
1:11.3	But I just closed day six of our 23 day yoga teacher training here in Aruba, which is
