#271 | How “Fitting Out” Became the Secret to Inspiring Others Build Resilience and Heal with Kirra Michel

Ever felt like you’ve spent your whole life trying to fit in — only to realize it’s draining your spirit?

In this conversation, yoga and meditation teacher Kira Michelle shares why “fitting out” can be the most liberating move you’ll ever make. She opens up about her own journey through anxiety, depression, and self-discovery, and how embracing scars — both physical and emotional — can become your gold-filled superpower.

You’ll discover:

How to take your yoga or meditation practice off the mat and into your everyday life.
Ways to turn your most uncomfortable traits into your greatest strengths.
How listening to your body’s cues can help you heal faster and more authentically.

Take a deep breath and learn how to embrace your true self, celebrate your scars, and create a life rooted in resilience and authenticity.
