Jacqui Bonwell shares advice incredibly poignant for anyone feeling stuck in their current life situation or career. With insight on her transformation from an over-caffeinated, Marlboro Red loving social worker in Ireland to a renowned yoga instructor, workshop presenter and teacher trainer (and green smoothie drinker), there was one constant - leading with a desire to help others. And there was also major change, transitioning away from muscling through life, trusting the universe and manifesting her life situation. Jacqui and Melissa will both be speaking at Yoga Reaches Out New England, the details and importance of this event raising money for Boston Children's Hospital are covered - join us!

About this podcast:


Grief, Guts & Smoothies. These three things changed my life – they might change yours too. Each episode we abandon our comfort zones to get a little gutsy and hold space to grow into stronger versions of ourselves.


In 2014, the birth of my daughter Leyden changed my entire world. Four months later, grief shattered it. I was broken, scared, lost, angry and hopeless. I didn’t want to live and wasn’t really sure how to.


I sought every mean to “fight” grief: researching, joining parent groups, and I even traveled outside of the country twice, to hear world-renowned grief speaker Dr. Raymond Moody.


Disappointed, I discovered like all adversities in life, there is no way to “beat” grief. But, thankfully, there were effective strategies I could employ when navigating such choppy waters. Whether it was understanding the gut-brain connection, or getting gutsy in my ability to face discomfort, the tools I learned, truly saved my life.


There are not nearly enough resources to support each other through uncomfortable challenges – be it loss of a job, a relationship, a sense of self…or life. Talking about uncomfortable things, well that takes guts. And we are going to get really gutsy here.
