The guest on today’s podcast is someone that I met last year during a Somatic Breathwork training that I was a part of. She started her journey in life as a 2nd grade teacher only to quickly find that it wasn’t her true path or calling. Entering into the fitness world as a personal trainer she found her passion in wanting to help others to achieve their goals. Following her deep passion for astrology she has trained under several renowned teachers to expand her knowledge on the subject. She now focuses on the Breath, Body and Soul connection helping her clients to transform their lives by gaining more knowledge on who they are at their very core. So I introduce you to my friend, colleague and fellow spiritual seeker, Hali Bailey.If you would like to get in touch with Hali Bailey you can find her at:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/hali_bailey_/Website:https://halibaileybreathbodysoul.comTo stay connected with The Embrace and Expand Podcast and for updates, as well as behind the scenes info, please follow us on social media:Website:https://www.embraceandexpand.com/Join The Embrace and Expand Community: https://www.embraceandexpand.com/community Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embraceandexpand/Follow Adam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam.carbary/To listen to free meditations, including the Somatic Breathwork Daily practice follow Adam on Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/adamcarbary

On this episode we have two very special guests. For the last 6 years this heart centered duo has been on a mission to bring true ceremonial-grade cacao to the western world for healing, inspiration, health and connection. Supporting local farmers from Peru and Guatemala, where this medicine originates, they go beyond fair trade pricing to make sure that those families and communities can thrive while cultivating this medicine with the purest of intentions. They have created their production process start to finish to preserve the integrity and essence of cacao for the highest benefit of those who work with it. Having personally spent a significant amount of time in ceremony with their product I can attest to its purity and quality. So, without further delay it is my pleasure to introduce you to Michael and Makenzie McPherson. If you would like to further connect with Michael and Makenzie McPhearson:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kakaodrinkingchocolate/https://www.instagram.com/michaeljmcpherson/Website:https://www.flykakao.com/?ref=rachelUse the code:KAKAOLOVE for a discountTo stay connected with The Embrace and Expand Podcast and for updates, as well as behind the scenes info, please follow us on social media:Website:https://www.embraceandexpand.com/Join The Embrace and Expand Community: https://www.embraceandexpand.com/community Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embraceandexpand/Follow Adam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam.carbary/To listen to free meditations, including the Somatic Breathwork Daily practice follow Adam on Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/adamcarbary

Our guest on this podcast is someone I recently discovered while in the pursuit of furthering my own journey around cultivating inner peace and wellness.After sustaining an injury in 2015, he left corporate America and ventured into the world of wellness. He has studied under some world renowned teachers such as Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Jesse Lee Parker just to name a few, turning him into a yoga and QiGong instructor, mediation teacher, and leadership coach. His injury helped him to catalyze change in his life, as well as embody these teachings and education on a cellular level. Leading him to the realization that the less stress he experiences in life, the less pain he experienced.He truly is the embodiment of compassion, peace, joy and absolute passion. So I introduce you to Christopher Peña.

On this episode I get a little personal. I talk about the importance of recognizing your limitations and when you need to start setting boundaries to protect your health and mental well being. The truth is we can't do it all and sometimes we take on more than we can handle. When that happens we need to set a boundary with ourselves and the outside world so we don't become stressed, overwhelmed and anxious. To stay connected with The Embrace and Expand Podcast and for updates, as well as behind the scenes info, please follow us on social media:Website:https://www.embraceandexpand.com/Join The Embrace and Expand Community: https://www.embraceandexpand.com/community Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embraceandexpand/Follow Adam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam.carbary/To listen to free meditations, including the Somatic Breathwork Daily practice follow Adam on Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/adamcarbary
