Show Notes
Hey hey my angels! ✨ This week on the pod, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how Illuminations were born — and how they’ve become the most loved part of the Glōw Up App.
We’re talking about my journey to Bali doing my first yoga teacher training and creating voice memos in 2009… to present-day soul-stirring audio + movement experiences that are helping women shift their energy, feel their feelings, and step into their power.
You’ll hear about:
What Illuminations are & how you can use them
The two kinds of Illuminations: 1: Audio & 2: Video/Movement
How sound, movement, breath, mindset & manifestation all collide in this practice
The importance of moving to mobilize stuck emotions
A love note to my younger self — and to you, if you’re still figuring it all out
Whether you’re new here or a longtime Glōw Getter, this episode will light you up from the inside out and remind you that your purpose isn’t something you find — it’s something you remember. 💖
