This week on the podcast, Kaite chats with licensed psychotherapist and yoga teacher Ashley Turner. They share candidly about the beautiful and ugly parts of their spiritual journeys. Learn how to recognize when your shadow is running the show and how to deeply accept and work with the parts of yourself that you want to hide. By moving beyond spiritual materialism and into a higher level of awareness we can show up in our lives with more confidence and less insecurity! Join Katie and Ashley as they deep dive into the intersection of Yoga, Buddhism, Tantra, and Jungian psychology in this conversation about how to take our spiritual awareness to the next level.
