Today’s episode features world-renowned yoga instructor and author of To Love and Let Go, Rachel Brathen. Also known as Yoga Girl, she is a heart-centered leader who brings the human element of emotion to social media. Becoming who Rachel is today was not without a history of struggle, and she shares with us how her childhood and rebellious teenage years led her to first find meditation, then yoga. This brings us deep into the conversation of finding identity, especially in our teenage years, when we have been influenced by our parent’s traumas and shaped by our communities.   The three of us also explore the interconnectedness between spirituality and business, and how Rachel balances motherhood with maintaining closeness with her husband. We also take a dive into plant medicine, sharing the insights and clearings Rachel gained during her cacao ceremony. We also talk about: Being present in our social media era Nourishing your body and mind during pregnancy How motherhood positively affects your ability to be present The importance of ritual in our day-to-day lives Being vulnerable and open on social media How our ancestors experiences influence us   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: yogagirl.com ; yogagirlfoundation.com Instagram: @yoga_girl ; @yogagirlfoundation Listen: From The Heart: Conversations with Yoga Girl Books: Yoga Girl ; To Love and Let Go   Upcoming Events: Almost 30 Tour   Sponsors: Amour Vert | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at www.shopgreenlove.com/almost30 SAKARA | Go to sakara.com/almost30 and use code ALMOST30 for $60 off your first order Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Slendier | go to www.amazon.com and search "Slendier" Away | Use code ALMOST30 for $20 off a suitcase at awaytravel.com/almost30 Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we are sitting down with Catt Sadler, the three-time Emmy-winning journalist, previous host on E!, and host of the podcast NAKED with Catt Sadler. We are incredibly inspired by Catt’s ability to be vulnerable and honest with us about her experience leaving the E! network to stand up for equal pay in December of 2017.

In this episode we delve into the struggles of being a woman in show business—the outer forces at play, how crucial it is to know your worth, and how to feel safe in your own skin when you’re in the spotlight. We also discuss what parenting is like in today’s digital age, especially with teenagers. Catt shares with us her experience with collaborative parenting after divorce, and how being a child of divorce directly affects her parenting style. This truly showcases the importance of consuming meaningful information, empowering one another, and trusting your inner knowing.    We also talk about: What parenting is like in today’s digital age (especially with teens!)
