Koya Webb on Letting Our Fears Make Us Fierce Mar 03, 2020

Show notes

Celebrity holistic health coach, internationally recognized yoga teacher, author, and speaker Koya Webb joins me for a soul-defining conversation. Koya's core mission is to promote daily self-care, oneness and eco-friendly living to combat some of the world's biggest challenges including mental health, social injustices and global warming.

Koya is the founder of Get Loved Up, an international lifestyle community and Yoga School that inspires mental, spiritual and physical health through an app, online courses, retreats, in-person yoga teacher training events and the Get Loved Up Podcast.

She is the author of LET YOUR FEARS MAKE YOU FIERCE: How to Turn Common Obstacles into Seeds for Growth, which addresses daily self-assessment and mindfulness, understanding how to make fear your friend, and using the power of holistic health to heal – all messages she promotes to her devout Instagram following of over one million followers.

As a former competitive track and field athlete training for the Olympics, Koya first got introduced to yoga after a debilitating track injury. Once recognizing the physical and mental benefits of yoga, she shifted her focus to yoga, personal training, and life coaching -- combining the work ethic of an athlete with practical holistic health practices that anyone can follow to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

Through Get Loved Up, Koya aims to dramatically decrease the number of people who suffer with chronic diseases associated with an unhealthy diet and lifestyle through daily self-care, plant-based nutrition and eco-friendly living. The Get Loved Up app features various yoga flows, sculpting workouts and meditations, along with vegan recipes, progress charts and a community board to help users achieve and maintain their wellness goals.

In this episode, Koya speaks about how fear is simply feedback and why self-love is the most significant act we do for ourselves. It is once we fully love ourselves that we are able to help others, and then go on to impact the world. And that when we get under the belly of fear, we understand that it is simply giving us information on where we need to pivot. Plus, Koya shares how her beautiful journey has led to living her dreams.

Amber Lilyestrom on The Love You Give Jan 28, 2020

Show notes

What does it mean to love others as you love yourself?

My good friend, Adrea Peters, recently published her book, Becoming Truitt Skye: The City on the Sea, and a voicemail from Adrea inspires this episode.

Her voicemail brought forth the thought that we cannot unconditionally love others if we don't unconditionally love ourselves. This idea is a growth zone for so many of us. The love that we give to ourselves is a reflection of the love we are capable of extending.

In this solo episode, I share the questions I ask myself, and I offer them as an invitation for you to do the same.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

About my friend Adrea Peters and her book Becoming Truitt Skye: The City on the Sea [ 5:20 ]
What happens when we withhold love from ourselves [ 8:20 ]
What to ask ourselves before we create [ 13:30 ]
How we can be unconditional with ourselves [ 17:15 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

"The love that we give to people is a reflection of the love that we feel for ourselves."

"Deep down, we still hold a grudge against ourselves."
"I can only be exactly who I am."
"Try softer and be gentle."
