Blending a Love of Travel and Wellness Together to Create a Yoga and Wellness Retreat Business with Daniela Babura

/

This week on Balance Your Life Podcast I am joined by Daniela Babura. Daniela has been dreaming of owning her own yoga studio since she completed her first yoga class over a decade ago. In 2012, after 7 years working for a major Canadian bank and quickly climbing the corporate ladder, she quit her job, bought a plane ticket, and began the travels that would shape her now life. After travelling Asia and Europe, she eventually found herself in sunny Sydney, Australia where she spent 3 years exploring the land down under and working in Digital Marketing. Having completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training course in Hawaii in 2016, she returned to Toronto in order to kickstart Adzenture Retreats together with her friend and co-founder Azma. On this episode we talk about following her passion and intuition of quitting her corporate career to travel the world, creating your desired life and building a career around it, “failures”, resiliency and never giving up as an entrepreneur. We also talk about imposture syndrome as you launch your own business, other wellness practices that compliment her life, and so much more!

Beauty, Wellness, and How to Be Magnetic with Ariana Roque

/

This week on Balance Your Life Podcast I am joined by Ariana Roque. Ariana is a wellness junkie, Yoga Nidra teacher and hosts women circles and gatherings. She loves to infuse Yoga Nidra into her circles because she thinks it’s one of the most powerful practices on the planet and loves guiding it.  Ever since Ariana was a little girl, she wanted a group of girlfriends and was desperate to feel that sense of belonging and sisterhood that she was never really able to have when she was younger. When she moved to LA when she was 20, she was able to finally start living out that dream because she was able to make an incredible community of girlfriends at the place she was working and that’s when it all changed for her. The more she connected with other women, the more they expressed that they too longed for a supportive community of women that would make them feel seen, loved and belonging, and she knew from that moment on this was her purpose in life. On this episode we talk about recognizing at a young age she needed help and was struggling with depression. We chat about Therapy, kundalini yoga, Transcendental Meditation, and Yoga Nidra. We also discuss beauty, wellness and skincare, when being in the wellness space becomes overwhelming and addictive to the point of becoming unhealthy, how self-care can be infused with financial freedom and empowering ourselves in the financial space, and so much more!

Dr. Millie Lee believes with all her heart and soul that Heart Disease is a Lifestyle Disease which is the result of how we live our lives – how and what we eat, do, emote and think.
