Wellness Chisme Chat with La Brega Yoga Flow & Meditation

Ruby Garcia became fascinated with how culture influences leadership, and her work has focused on this topic. She is a coach and has combined her coaching knowledge with her Latina roots to provide insight into how culture impacts leadership. Ruby's interest in this area began when she worked with a coach who dismissed her family dynamics as just a story she told herself. So she created her Latina coaching business to support Latinas moving from self-sabotage to self-mastery. Here is the chisme we share: Self-care is grounded, and for Ruby, that's connecting to nature. So I spend at least an hour a day every day walking, focused on what is out there T importance of boundaries in a collective culture, such as Latine culture. She explains that it can be difficult to distinguish what belongs to an individual versus what belongs to their family or household. The works to develop the skill of identifying her feelings and establishing boundaries due to her own family's dysfunction.

Hey, amiga, today's episode is a solo cast. This is a chance for you and me to share a cafecito while we talk about all the things de la vida. Let's talk about feeling like failures as parents. There are so many things that I try to do, from working full-time, caring for my family, running a business, and caring for my son. Sometimes there are days when I feel like I cannot do it all. Here is the chisme: El sweet nene lindo was sick this weekend, which threw a wrench in my planning. Reminders to self-included focusing on my son's needs As a recovering perfecta, I don't have to get it done. Done is better than perfect. Difficult moments have given me more appreciation, such as being able to sell our home and move to be closer to family. Remember, amiga: We are not perfect and can't be perfect all the time. Sometimes we need to sit in the feels so that we can bounce from the super lows to the super highs. The season might feel really messy, pero you are not alone in the struggle. Keep asking for help. It takes a village to make it.

Pero let me tell you that it is really hard for a type A mami like me. In this episode, you hear about how I had to permit myself to rest because I am used to caring for everyone around me.

Other chimse I share: Using my time effectively to leave space for rest Learn to accept the help that was being so kindly given Take in that I am worthy of receiving gifts of time, love, energy Start to open yourself up to build up a chosen familia Leave a review with your thoughts on the content of our podcast and any ah moments you would like to share!

Our host, Dr. KAY, welcomes our guest Nikita Burks-Hale (she/her). She is the CEO and Chief Coloring Officer at Headphones and Crayons, a space for amplifying voice, sound, and color. As an Alignment Coach, she journeys and supports creatives, podcasters, and entrepreneurs as they create podcasts and launch new business initiatives that feel good without losing themselves. The conversation goes from the depths of postpartum depression to the role play by color, have created a container of joy to remember we are not alone. Other chisme we share: Life circumstances can create barriers for Womxn of Color to discuss mental health challenges. That's why we need to create space to identify what is coming up, not just solve the problem, but create a space just to be. ATM of Joy - a term coined by Kelley Bonner (Black Girl Burnout Podcast) - is never empty. We may forget the password or forget the ATM of Joy is there, but we can always withdraw joy. Non-sufficient funds of unworthiness begone! Showing up in the good and bad moments authentically allows us to feel connected to people. Social media creates a space for the transference of power, especially in creating space for womxn of color. Where I am weak, you are strong - the memory of us all supporting one another. Wellness spaces try to sell you solutions - how to stop being depressed, lose weight, etc. - instead should focus on creating containers of support for people to figure it out together. Ease doesn't mean easy! Ease means showing up in life and feeling good about how you show up. Living a soft life is revolutionary. Creating space to rest is not indulgent. It shows up as you are in the hope of connection and conversation. Leave a review with your thoughts on the content of our podcast and any ah moments you would like to share!

Yoga Nidra is yogic sleep. This form of yoga engages the rest and digest systems of the body through subconscious awareness. Think of dolphins, while one half of their brain sleeps the other half is listening and keeping them alive. Yoga Nidra connects to your deepest part by asking you to be still. There are no upside-down poses, random locations doing yoga poses, or acts of physical strength. You just need to get your favorite blankey and curl up to listen to this episode. Your brain, body, and soul will all come back home for the deepest form of healing and rest. Find a comfortable, quiet place where no one will interrupt you. You can do this by laying down, sitting in a chair, or sitting in a meditation pose. Just listen and rest. It will be the easiest and most soul-engaging form of yoga you have done. ¡Vamos!
