Jessamyn and I tackled limiting beliefs and all the things you’ve told yourself (and been told about yourself) that have held you back. That generally, the only people shown doing yoga (in advertisements, clothing, etc) are slender, white women. When Jessamyn started putting her photos on Instagram, people were genuinely surprised that she was doing yoga (you need to hear this story!), and she soon realized there was a visibility issue in the yoga world. “I started taking photos to watch my progress over time” and eventually I posted them online in order to create community. It taught her that she was living on auto-pilot in many areas of her life and she used yoga as a tool for self-care and growth. The main thing she mentioned was how present she felt during yoga.

It started with encouragement from a friend, and it the love for yoga took off. I absolutely loved how authentic and personal her yoga journey was. I love how she carries herself and today she is going to teach us all about not fitting the “mold” in your career, prioritizing self-care, and how to live life on our own terms! WHY YOGA:įirst things first, I had to hear about how Jessamyn carved out this beautiful niche for herself. I personally have LOVED following Jessamyn for so long– the way that she speaks boldly and authentically, and always seems to be taking care of herself is so inspiring to me. She has been profiled by a wide range of media, including Good Morning America, TIME, New York, Glamour, Shape, People, Essence, and many others. Miss Jessamyn is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, award-winning Instagram personality, and body-positive advocate.

Goal Diggers, I am so excited to introduce you to today’s guest, Jessamyn Stanley.
