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.

What if yoga isn't about perfect poses, but about coming home to yourself?

Most people think yoga is about flexibility, Instagram-worthy poses, or checking another wellness box. But what if I told you that yoga is actually a profound practice of self-discovery, energy work, and spiritual alignment that can completely transform how you show up in your life and work?

In this soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with Nathalie Croix — a wisdom keeper who has dedicated over 25 years to the healing and spiritual arts. She's a yoga teacher, Reiki master, writer, and founder of Shanti Yoga Training School. Nathalie shares her journey from discovering yoga as a young girl to leading transformational teacher trainings worldwide.

This isn't just another yoga conversation. It's about what it means to live intentionally, honor your multi-passionate nature, and build a life that feels authentic to your soul.

What you'll discover:

  • Why yoga is actually an ancient technology for modern life challenges

  • How to listen to your body's wisdom and release productivity guilt

  • The truth about being multi-passionate (it's your superpower, not a flaw)

  • How energy work and human design can accelerate your personal growth

  • What makes spiritual practice truly transformative vs. performative

  • Why honoring ancient wisdom matters in our fast-paced world

Perfect for you if:

  • You're tired of surface-level wellness advice

  • You want to integrate spirituality into your high-achieving life

  • You're ready to stop forcing yourself into someone else's mold

  • You're curious about energy work and human design

  • You want to build a life of purpose, not just productivity
