0:00.0	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,
0:23.7	mindfulness, and everything in between.
0:26.2	If you're ready to get inspired, learn, grow, evolve, to connect, and up-level your life,
0:32.1	then you've come to the right place.
0:33.6	I am beyond excited that you're here.
0:35.7	So let's dive in.
0:40.2	You know those moments when someone, yeah, by the way, we're just getting right into it.
0:44.5	Okay. Hi. Welcome. You know those moments when someone asks you for something, maybe it's to hang out or to help them with a project or even like a work opportunity.

1:41.1	might be, it's out of integrity with your authentic self. And that kind of
1:45.6	yes drains you. It disconnects you. And I think it keeps you small. And so today we're diving into the
1:51.3	aligned yes versus the people pleasing yes. I just had a major download while I was journaling on
1:58.5	this this this morning. I wasn't meaning to journal on this, but I ended up
2:01.4	journaling on this. And so I want to talk to you about it. I want to talk about what they both feel like,
