WELL / AWARE SHOW 001 | Alex Sharry of Y7 Yoga

1 - STUDIO_1lores

It’s been a little quiet on WELL / AWARE lately — and for good reason. The podcast has finally launched! I’m very excited to introduce (and try) a new format, as it’s an excellent way to get a more intimate feel for the topics and individuals featured on the blog. At first, the podcast will run bi-weekly. Some months may have more episodes, depending on the theme for that month. If you love it, I’ll make more. Simple as that. If you want to skip right to the podcast – please scroll to the bottom of this post!

THE PODCAST CONTENT

The episodes will feature conversations with individuals who embody the WELL / AWARE ethos: living well, mindfully. They’ll harness one or both of our two pillars: creating energy within ourselves, our WELLNESS, or fostering the energy with which we approach the world, our AWARENESS. So far, episodes dive candidly into body image, entrepreneurialism, meditation, sustainability, conscious consumption, coffee culture, yoga, minimalism and more. Podcasts on WELL / AWARE will also have a visual component, because I personally have always craved more than a thumbnail image when I listen to an episode I love. hope these stories inspire you and provide a venue through which you can explore the dialogue with yourself, both mind and body, and the world around you.

I do ask that you bear with me while I experiment with audio. I’m still new to the editing process, and nailing down a regular recording practice. For that reason, some of the first few episodes may differ in sound slightly, and for that I apologize in advance. I’m learning as I go, so it may take a few shots before I really start to get it right. I plan to keep the format open and dynamic anyway, so you never hear the same episode twice. I’m totally open to your feedback, by the way. Please email me with any thoughts at wellawareco (at) gmail (dot) com.

THIS WEEK’S EPISODE

The first episode is a very special one. I sat down with yogi Alex Sharry of Y7 to talk about her journey to yoga, what it was like once she got there. I was drawn to her initially as a student at Y7…  hearing her guidance for yoga both on the mat and off deeply resonated, so it made sense that her approach to yoga and to life is a fantastic example of living WELL / AWARE. We get real about body image, perfectionism, the emotional body, self doubt and how to embrace change. This is a great episode for anyone who’s interested or practicing yoga or meditation, who has thought of quitting her job for greener pastures or who is looking to make a major life change.

  1. Hi Lindsay,

    I just finished listening to your podcast and went to leave a review on iTunes for you, but it kept coming back with an error. I’ll try again later! I feel like this podcast was exactly what I needed to hear this evening. Thank you to you and Alex for taking the time to speak on so many topics that are so real for those of us who are doing our best to “Live Well”. Very inspiring!

    1. Hey Lauren!

      I’m looking into this, thanks so much for letting me know — I will reach out once it’s solved! I am so glad you found comfort in the podcast and hope you love the next episode, too. Much love!

  2. Absolutely beautiful, honest, and inspiring podcast Lindsay & Alex. I can’t wait for Episode 2 and all the empowering women to be learn from in future podcasts. Keep up the great work Lindsay 🙂

  3. Now, I wish I lived in New York so I could join you two. This was an awesome first episode and now worries on the audio. It’s improved as time gone by. Check out Pat Flynn’s editing audio youtube video for podcasts.
