Description
Hey Friends,
With the rise of anxiety and depression, this week I wanted to bring on a guest that will give you a different perspective and approach to mental health.
In this episode, Maja shares her journey of moving continents and handling anxiety, including her experience of being on medication for anxiety and depression, not receiving enough support from doctors, and the fears around stopping medication.
She then talks about how she used movement and meditation to manage her anxiety, the journey to self-love, the impact of food on mood, and other tools that helped her transition off medications.
Maja’s journey from Balkan war refugee to practitioner of mind and body healing provides a unique foundation for managing the current flux of the human condition. Combining her life experience with her knowledge of yoga and pilates, Maja hopes to impart a mindful approach to achieving core strength and stability. With a measure of discipline and open-mindedness, she believes we can learn from every experience while aiming to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Maja is ready for a challenge, the only question is, are you?

Hey Friend,
This week's episode I'm sharing a podcast update. We’re going to be on a short hiatus after today for a little while. It’s my birthday in a few days and normally around this time I do a lot of life reflection and reevaluate many areas of my life. And when I did that, I knew that...
