"Everything you need to heal is already within you. You do not need to seek outside validation. The key to your healing is being able to return to believing in yourself"

Learn how to do more of what you love by listening to stories from other yoga teachers, healers, and coaches about how they first got started.

Discover what they did to first make money, how they actually got started, and how they overcame their struggles like fear and burnout along the way.

Today we hear from trauma researcher & yoga teacher , Dr. Megan Kirk Chang, from Episode 208: What is trauma and what does it mean to be trauma informed?

Megan's story showcases that doing what you love can still have hard parts, but it’s a different kind of hard than when you’re headed in the wrong direction.

I used to think that once you figure out what you love doing then a big rainbow lights up the whole sky and I would skip into a beautiful sunset, never having to experience a hard part again.

Sort of…and also not really at all! You’re no longer swimming against the current but now you’re being stretched in a different way so that you can grow. Megan’s examples of how the trauma research program she was in was so hard that she wanted quit and how she had to choose to listen to herself than societal norms are examples of these hard parts that help us grow.
