Waylon Lewis and longtime friend and yoga teacher, Faith Hunter, discuss careers, burnout, moms, as well as tokenism and access within the yoga community. Waylon: “What's your helpful advice for whoever who are dealing with burnout and trying to take care of themselves while on the whole treadmill of being busy? Parents, entrepreneurs, students, everyone?” Faith: “I think the thing that I've learned and I probably would've told myself 10 years ago is to try my best to get rest and create some level of balance. When I was young, I was vibrant and I was excited and things are popping…and…it's hard to say no! And so I was probably saying ‘yes' to way more than I should have said ‘yes' to.” 

Faith drops into the power, personal connection, and importance of self-love. During this episode, she explains the difference between self-care and self-love, discusses ways to deepen your love of self, and provides an opening meditation that immediately brings you into the present moment.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! We have another two part in depth conversation with a very dynamic Diasporan. Part 1 goes live the week of the Thanksgiving holiday in the US. The genesis of the holiday has much to do with food--It was a harvest festival celebrated by America's first European immigrant settlers. So, my guest is our own celebration of food--food science and innovation. Born and raised in the US, now based in Accra, Dr. Wanida Lewis is the CEO and Co-founder of non-profit Crescendo Foods, Ghana's first shared commercial kitchen space and culinary hub. She has over ten years' experience leading programs, strategic partnerships, and economic evaluation initiatives throughout the African continent. Previously, she wasa Senior Economic Program Advisor in the US Department of State's Office of Global Women's Issues. During her first stint living in Accra in 2018, she founded Young, Gifted, & Brown, LLC, a pipeline program supporting young Ghanaian women and entrepreneurs in STEM. A Food Science Fellowship Award Endowment in her name was established in 2013 to provide fellowship funding for underrepresented graduate students in the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences at North Carolina State University. Another fun fact about Wanida is that she's a certified yoga instructor and can be found working with Glocal Citizens guest, Nana Amoako-Anin (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/nana-amoako-anin) at Bliss Yoga Accra training yogis in yin and restorative yoga.

Over the years, what's made Faith Hunter's Spiritually Fly™ wellbeing experiences so delicious was the incorporation of the Three Ms: mantra, mudra, and meditation. Faith talks about their importance, provides a reading from her book that shares little back history, and at the end, she shares a meditation that includes a mudra and an affirmation. Hakini Mudra was used in the meditation. How to: By pressing the fingertips against each other, the brain centers are activated with subtle aspects of the physical and psychic bodies.

But now, here's Stephanie. Introducing Stephanie Laurens Jenny Wheeler: Hello there, Stephanie and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Stephanie Laurens Romance Bestseller Stephanie Laurens: Thank you. It's lovely to be here. Jenny Wheeler: I am in awe or of having the chance to talk to you because you are one of the legends of romance publishing. You have been working since the early 90's, you've got more than 80 books now published and many accolades including landing in the top 100 Romance of the Year many times. You have an international army of fans, so tell me about how you got into this career. Give us a little bit of a helicopter view of all of those years. Stephanie Laurens: Okay. I got into writing romances because I literally ran out of Regency romances to read. At that time, back in the late 80's, it was 1989, I used to read Regency romances because I was working as a scientist and writing scientific grants and reviewing scientific grants and papers and stuff like that. It was all very, very dry as you can imagine, so I liked to be able to read at night. After I put the kids to sleep, I would read. At that time in Australia there were only two Regency romances brought in a month by Mills & Boon and that was nowhere near enough. I had already gone through a lot of the libraries and what Regency romances they stocked, and so in order to keep myself occupied I started writing one. I assumed that I would never get to the end because you know how you start projects. I always have projects lying around for literally years, incomplete. A hard beginning in Regency romance But, lo and behold, I found that because I wanted to find out what happened I got to the end of the book, so I actually wrote a book. I read it over again and I thought, this is not bad, and so I started to write around, to find out where to send it. It was my mother who told me, send it here.

In this interview I talk with bestselling author Faith Hunter. Faith writings cover a large variety of genres including Sci-Fi, Paranormal/Ghosts, and Fantasy. We talk about her new audible original science fiction series set in a near future, featuring a character that is DNA based nano technology set in a post world war 3 world. The first two are out as Audible exclusives and on ebook form. Her third installment "Junk Yard War" will be out later this year. Faith gives her advice for aspiring authors and how she got started into the field. For more info visit: http://www.faithhunter.net/ https://www.facebook.com/official.faith.hunter

Therapy was supporting me to get through the process. And so when I  moved to DC, even when I was working in a nonprofit, I was still practicing because I was, one, working in a very high-stress environment."22:18 - Koya: "I think more people need to be given permission to have your personal space, have your personal time. You don't have to be with someone all the time."24:28 - Faith: "The big trauma around my two brothers being HIV-positive, I took on the role of being the very good daughter. And,  that kind of actually suppressed my voice. And so, realizing that that's also the thing I crave the most, was more of my mother's attention. Because her job, her role was getting it all to them. But I was like, I don't wanna cause any more stress, I'm gonna sit back."25:22 - Koya: "It's so interesting how, when someone is in pain, when someone is hurting, you know, we tend to take the backseat and feel like, we all can't be hurting at the same time. I love that you called it out, like you had to reclaim your voice because even in that grief, you are also grieving too and you needed time and attention and nurturing."48:03 - Koya: "I think too when you know, growing up, and reading the story of Jesus and Jesus always saying I'm the way, I'm truth, I am life, I am one with God and then saying I wanna be just like Jesus but we can't say that. To me, that's like a huge disconnect."Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.

She is the founder of Embrace Yoga DC and Embrace OM, as well as the creator of Spiritually Fly, a lifestyle philosophy that celebrates our inherent vibrancy and worth. With Sounds True, Faith has written a new book called Spiritually Fly: Wisdom, Meditations, and Yoga to Elevate Your Soul.

Ellie grew up in New Jersey and trained in classical ballet at the New Jersey School of Ballet and North Carolina School of the Arts. She danced with the New Jersey Ballet in high school and continued her training at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music with Violette Verdy. Upon graduation, after much reflection and several injuries, she stepped away from dancing and attended graduate school at IU in Early Childhood Education. She taught kindergarten and preschool for several years before feeling the itch to return to the world of physical movement. In 2009 Ellie completed a 600 hour comprehensive pilates certification course. The following year she embarked on her yoga teacher training, eventually teaching yoga full time at Vibe Yoga Studio in Bloomington, IN and receiving her E-RYT 500. For the next several years Ellie taught public and private classes, workshops and segments of yoga teacher training. In 2016 she and her husband relocated to Washington DC where Ellie continued to teach yoga at Faith Hunter's studio Embrace Yoga DC. She began taking open ballet classes for fun at Washington Ballet and almost immediately found herself immersed in paid projects including the first ever site specific performance at The Kennedy Center with Company E. She decided to pour herself fully back into the world of ballet and became a founding company and board member of Stuart Loungway's Terra Firma Dance, a contemporary ballet company based in DC. In July 2020, Ellie and her husband welcomed their first child, Hank, into the world. Currently Ellie is focusing on writing, dancing, and attempting to sleep as much as possible.
