Welcome back to Don’t Retire… Graduate! As part of our summer throwback series, we’re bringing back some of our favorite episodes from seasons passed.

Today, we’re welcoming back Kristy Schiano, Yogi and owner of the Mindful Movement Center, to tell her story of tragedy, loss, strength, and resilience. While training for a triathlon, Kristy was hit by a truck and suffered severe physical and mental injuries, causing her to lose nearly everything—including the ability to walk and talk—but she held strong to hope and joy. Her recovery has centered around helping others manage their chronic pain through yoga and meditation. Listen to her story and take her extra credit assignment seriously (even if it won’t be graded)!

*Please note this episode is rereleased from season 1, and we will NOT be taking a break. Come back next week for another episode of Office Hours!*

In this episode we’ll talk about:

• Kristy’s story of being hit by a truck while training for a triathlon and needing to relearn everything we take for granted
• Financial, physical, and spiritual wellness and how they interact in our daily lives
• Using meditation and breathing techniques in times of stress and anxiety
• Pivot points we experience throughout our lives, both expected and unexpected
• Financial wellness, paying yourself first, and having a plan for the future
• Spirituality, religion, and the spiritual journey Kristy experienced through yoga
• The power of empathy and compassion
