MY STORY: Setting Myself Free

This is a completely free-form, unplanned, behind the scenes chat where I tell you my whole life story and how it impacted where I am today with yoga and podcasting. I just turned on my mic and started talking to see where it would take me.  I share insight about my childhood, how my love story changed me forever, and the unfoldings of my own inner workings and self-discovery. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Tune in to get to know me, and to perhaps release a bit of perfectionism and fear... and whatever else is holding you back so that you can SET YOURSELF FREE.  Find me on instagram: @shawnakru Join the Leadership and Yoga Fam: https://www.shawnakru.com/  Leadership and Yoga IRL: https://www.shawnakru.com/leadership-and-yoga-irl  Time stamps: 00:00 Intro 02:00 Leadership and Yoga IRL 05:38 Childhood 11:50 My relationships 16:30 Self-sabotaging and tearing myself down.  24:00 Being in an incorrect relationship with an incredible person can make you depressed.  28:30 Meeting my future husband & how my love story changed me forever 42:40 My first big abundance synchronicity. 44:00 I did a BS job. 47:00 Reaching for something, weathering the confusion.  50:00 Instagram yogis and leadership coaches. 54:00 Bathtub podcast inspiration. 58:00 From teaching my first yoga class to deciding to go all-in. 1:02:00 Seattle: from being in a business drought to drinking from a fire hose.  1:03:03 Finding my place within the yoga world and an injury from an assist.  1:07:20 When people turned against me in the yoga world.  1:13:00 Podcasting changed my life. 1:17:45 Full circle, releasing perfectionism. 1:19:00 It’s okay to be confused.
