Powered by RedCircle


On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.  

She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.  

It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

Have you ever wondered why success, achievement, or simply pushing harder no longer seems to work?

Many high achievers spend years operating in survival mode, disconnected from their bodies, their emotions, and the wisdom that's quietly asking them to slow down. We often think we need to do more, when what we may truly need is to listen differently.

In this episode, I sit down with Akary Busto, founder of Uhkare Mind Body Soul. What I loved about this conversation is that it reminds us that healing isn't about fixing one part of ourselves. It's about understanding that our mind, body, emotions, and spirit are deeply connected.

After experiencing burnout during her corporate career, Akary began exploring meditation, breathwork, nervous system regulation, human design, nutrition, and women's health. Her journey led her to develop a holistic approach that helps people understand themselves more deeply and create lasting wellbeing.

In this conversation, we explore what it means to move beyond symptoms and begin looking at ourselves as whole human beings.

In This Episode, We Explore:

  • Why burnout is often a sign of deeper misalignment

  • How breathwork and meditation can support nervous system regulation

  • Why many of us struggle to allow ourselves to rest

  • The role human design plays in self-awareness and decision-making

  • Why our emotional, physical, and spiritual health are interconnected

  • The importance of hormonal health and individualized nutrition

  • How fasting and wellness practices should be personalized

  • Why knowledge and self-awareness are powerful forms of empowerment

  • The connection between cultural identity and personal growth

  • What it means to create a life that feels healthy, aligned, and fulfilling
