Creativity, movement, singing and dancing are ingrained in this guest and such attributes feel as if they have always been a part of her. Natasha Collazos is our guest for the first episode of 2022. We talked when she was in the midst of some international travel and what an indepth conversation we had together!  You’ll be drawn in to the exciting life she leads and the travel she’s incorporated into her life. We talk about Covid and how that impacted her thought process…but she says the best perspective is being with those you care about the most. She teaches Thai massage and Thai yoga and her partner, Charles Harriott teaches Jujitsu … much international and with BJJ Globetrotters. They get to travel together and launch a life they love. She’s a risk taker. You don’t have to be confined in a box and she says fear should not stop people from living. We learn about Thai massage—energy lines and marma points -- to help sustain the flow of energy throughout your body. She compares it to a subway system of the body with the choices and junctures. We get to dive into how her career shaped and the opportunities opened. She sees purpose in what she does. Helping others acheive body awareness can truly help connect body and one’s emotional self and that can lead to making impactful life decisions. We talk about coming into jiujitsu with a partner who is a black belt. How that feels on and off the mat. She never saw it as an intimidation factor, but Natasha puts more pressure on herself to forget she is new and learning. She says the journey is like a phoenix …where you break it down and build it back—time and time again. She started this path as her own journey and not for anyone else. The belts and her own journey make her tear up because of all the work she puts in as a whole. Natasha is a believer in self care. She focuses on the person in front of her in massage business, but that isn’t focusing on herself and that is important too to check in with herself—from water intake, to rest, exercise, tea time to journaling. She takes stock and has a list of what she wants in life and is doing it for herself. We talk about gym loyalty and learning from across the board and the opportunities involved in travel. You bring something naturally to the table and there is an exchange with those with whom you train.A constant that Natasha deals with is having boundaries both to respectfully honor them and to set them. She’s a giver and checking in with herself realizing how to set those boundaries takes extra work. Defining softness and being able to offer when appropriate and being mindful is okay to depend on one another.
