In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guests are Julie Thayer and Andrea Wetzel. Julie has been a fitness enthusiast all her life. An athlete in her early years, her motto was “harder, stronger, faster!” and thus, her relationship with yoga was, shall we say, tenuous at best. A nagging curiosity compelled her repeatedly back to her mat, until she eventually began to embrace the idea that less is more. And then, she fell hard and fast for this yoga thing. Joyfully understanding, that connection to breath, mindful movement, and kind alignment, supports the integration of the whole and inspires vitality in all the magnificent layers of ones’ being physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically, and soulfully. Julie is a firm believer in becoming the champion of your own self-care and she will inspire you to discover your own capacity to cultivate an optimal state of being through your personal yoga practice, both on and off your mat. From a young age, Andrea always knew she wanted to be her own boss as she was the self-proclaimed President of “Andrea’s Business” — dreams do come true. When she was 7, she fell in love with horseback riding and in 2007, she was a member of the Canadian Dressage Young Rider Team where she competed for Canada. For 18 years, horseback riding was her life — it taught her discipline + responsibility, and it was her first introduction to goal setting. Who she was as a rider, shaped her into who she would be as a leader. This translated well into her management career at lululemon for 4 years, where she developed her own leadership style. She loved the idea of helping people set achievable + rewarding goals, which led her to pursue life coaching and became a certified life coach + owns her own business — Ambitious Soul Coaching. Andrea specializes in goal setting + using positive self talk to shift your habits. She is a firm believer in speaking kindly to yourself. In this episode we discuss coaching, flipping the narrative, yoga, fitness, resiliency, leadhership amplified, fear, awareness and being your own superhero.
