Have you ever looked at a yoga teacher or wellness business and thought, “They must have it all together”? Calm, grounded, cruising through life? Today’s conversation is a powerful reminder that what we see on the outside rarely tells the full story.
In this episode, Dr. Jodi Richardson is joined by Nova Rosaia, founder of Warrior One Yoga, whose thriving studios and international retreats have touched thousands of lives. Behind the success, Nova has walked her own path through anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout — and yoga became her lifeline.
Together, Jodi and Nova unpack:
-
How yoga helps calm an anxious mind and nervous system
-
The reality of running a wellness business while managing hidden anxiety
-
Practical ways to ease the fear of stepping into your first yoga class
-
Why perfectionism and burnout are common companions — and how to loosen their grip
-
The transformative power of retreats, community, and simple breath-led practices
This honest and inspiring conversation will encourage you to breathe a little deeper, let go of the pressure to “do it all perfectly,” and discover how even small steps on the mat can ripple into big shifts in life.
