Whoa guys, it's been so long that I forgot what losing my virginity feels like. This is awkward, embarrassing, challenging, but also feels super exciting, and like if I stick with it, it's probably gonna get really juicy, and really good.  This episode is me losing my solo podcast virginity. I share what motivated me to leave Rise to Thrive podcast and strike out on my own, an abridged version of my own life her-story, and what my mission is for this project (hint: it's in the title of this episode). In this episode, I share:Why living in integrity matters - especially when it's the hard choiceThe mission and vision behind this show - and what it has to do with youSome of the darker parts of my past that led hereWhat cultivated my compassion for the most train-wreck people out thereExcitement for the season ahead!I hope this episode reminds you that we all have a long, winding journey to the place we now call home. Sending you love and deep gratitude for trusting me to share this space with you! About the Show Totally Stoked Podcast features truth telling, shame busting, deep diving conversations revealing the ‘rise to thrive’ stories of healers, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, visionaries and spiritual warriors. Living totally stoked means figuring out what makes you thrive as a whole being - and for us, nothing is off the table. We rock a no-filters approach to sharing powerful tools for personal growth, mindset, and well-being - and we don’t shy away from four lettered words, tough topics, or things that might make your mama cringe. Totally Stoked host Amelia Travis overcame years of drug abuse and a ‘sugar baby’ lifestyle to find her most authentic self as a salty and stoked yoga teacher turned multi six figure business coach, blogger, speaker and founder of Stoked Yogi & Stoked Collective. Across all brands, she speaks life into her community, empowering people to heal their shit, own their gifts, and make money doing what they love. Totally Stoked has only two rules: Show up, and tell the truth. Dive in here for illuminating interviews, thought provoking midnight chats and the occasional mindful meditation to keep you zen as you find your way to living totally stoked. #totallystoked #speaklife #empoweringwomen #stokedcollective #stokedyogi #showuptellthetruth
