Ep #148: Embracing Pleasure and Discomfort with Charmaine Mitchell

  • Summary

  • Charmaine, a mother of four and former stay-at-home mom, shares her inspiring journey from divorce to becoming a digital nomad and yoga teacher in Bali. After breaking her spine in 2014, Charmaine’s strong yoga practice helped her recover, and now she aims to share yoga’s transformative power with others. Her story highlights resilience, healing, and the empowering effects of yoga.

    The discussion further delves into how yoga goes beyond physical practice, infusing one's personal and professional life with presence and intuition. The speakers emphasize embracing both pleasure and discomfort as paths to self-discovery, and the importance of slow, deep breathing in accessing higher states of awareness. They explore the connection between the throat chakra and the womb, and how creative energy flows through this link.

    Listeners are encouraged to confront their fears, embrace the duality of pain and pleasure, and explore the richness of the human experience by moving towards what terrifies them. The episode concludes with reflections on personal growth and the continuous journey of self-discovery.
