All it takes is a few moments, even 5 minutes of your day to take a moment to yourself. The benefits of meditation are silent. We meditate to improve our life, not to improve our meditation practice.

Thank you for practicing with me.

Love,

Stephanie

This week, I speak to Chardét Ryel, a wellness entrepreneur and the author of 7 Steps to Feel Good Naked who is on a mission to challenge mainstream expectations about fitness, nutrition, and body image. Over the last nine years, she has worked with women around the world to help them redefine confidence, beauty, and health on their own terms, outside of diet culture.

She lives in Portugal (not the UK as I had mentioned in the episode), and we speak not just about body image issues, but entrepreneurship in general! I noticed I kept saying "entrepreneurialship" which is obviously not a word so a big woopsies from me on that front!

Episodes Highlights:

• Chardet's experience in the corporate world
• From burnout to wellness
• Chardet's perspective on body image and why body dysmorphia is so prevalent
• Obsession vs. Discipline when it comes to wellness
• Ways to tackle body image issues
• Mix and match wellness habits to live an overall healthy life
• Chardet sharing her tips on how to combat unmotivation in her entrepreneurial journey
• Taking risks in your business and letting go of fear
• Why social media isn't the end all be all as an entrepreneur

This week I speak to the Founder and Managing Director of Riviera Ozone Nicky André previously worked in the Pharmaceutical industry. It was at this point, she decided Pharma was not the only health option available.

In 2017 and 2018 she suffered 2 strokes; the first whilst 8 months pregnant (but went on to have a healthy girl), however Nicky was left with acute hypertension and associated complications.

Her desire to find complimentary therapies to aid her health, amplified and finally in late 2017 she discovered ozone and PEMF (pulse electromagnetic field) therapies.

In only one 30-minute session her blood pressure normalised and with weekly sessions, she was able to stop taking her medication (with her Cardiologists agreement) and has seen her health go from strength to strength.

In late 2023 Nicky decided to make a move to Singapore where the Ministry of Health invited her to bring ozone into the country for the first time. Riviera Ozone Singapore has been incorporated and subsequently launched in May 2024.

Hi friend! I usually end my yoga classes with a smile meditation, as it allows for my students to really marinate in the essence of joy. It is a wonderful and accessible way to bring a little levity and good vibes into your day. So I hope you enjoy this meditation!

With love,

Steph

Today I speak to Alex Mearns, an executive coach, and founder of Levitise: a holistic lifestyle centre helping C level execs optimise their health and fitness. After 20 years in the finance industry, Alex left the corporate world to allow for more meaning in his life. He made this career change when he was looking for ways to fix his own health problems from the commercial fitness and medical industries, and so he set out on a quest to study holistic health, fitness, and nutrition around the world. His holistic centre, Levitise specialises in working with senior executives in their 40s and 50s, by solving the problems that burden this demographic such as stress and anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, and weight gain. In this conversation we talk about the problems this age group experiences compared to those in their 20's, we talk about detox, macrophages, and go down a rabbit whole on infrared saunas. We also speak about what energy healing means and the most effective ways to exercise the mind.

Episode Highlights:

• Why Alex works with execs in their 40's and 50's
• Being too busy vs. not prioritising
• How his curiousity about cholesterol led to his interest in health
• Energetic healing
• Authenticity and the power of its frequency
• The importance of vulnerability
• The benefits of infrared sauna
• Levitise and the power of their programs
• Melatonin, macrophages, and mitochondria

This week I introduce a breathing exercise made popular by Dr. Andrew Huberman.

This is a breathwork practice I usually start my yoga practice, as this not only helps my students feel centered and settled at the start of practice, but also by allowing them to open and expand their lungs at the start of class.

Taking two inhales and one long exhale reduces CO2 levels, slows your heart rate, and leaves you feeling calmer, less tense, and more focused.

Enjoy this short breathwork, as I know it will make your day much better!

With love,

Stephanie

This week, I share my thoughts and reflections on the deeper meanings behind the popular Netflix show, Eric.

Set in 1980s New York, the thriller series brings to screen many harsher realities of the period it reflects.Eric wants to say something about systemic racism, police brutality, the unhoused, 1980s homophobia, mental illness, and parenting, among other things

There are so many ways to interpret the show - but I'll focus on the one that stood out to me and really my quest to emotional health.

One of my favourite lines from the show:

"Eric is a monster, yes, Eric is that which we fear true. Eric is the shadow that lurks behind us all or Lies under the bed. But he is also, YOU, and you, and you, and all of us. He is the very best and very worst of all of us. He is the monster that walks with us side by side, he's the monster that every child wants when they are lost. And need to be found."

The real monsters are not under the bed, they are within each and every one of us. Are they your friend, foe, or stranger?

Who is YOUR "Eric"?
