On today’s episode of Embrace Your In-Between, we are in conversation with Ava Johanna - the CEO and Founder of The Academy of Breath - a breathwork and meditation certification that has trained hundreds on these life changing practices.
As both Scorpios, we go deep in this episode. Ava shares her story of allowing her life to come undone in 2021- the dissolving of her marriage, the ending of longtime friendships, and starting over after moving to a new city. We chat about the power of self trust and radical self honesty, especially in moments of massive transition. We also chat about how to receive and money mindset shifts she now embodies after experiencing homelessness as a teenager. She's so powerful, and I can't wait for you to hear her story.
The next round of the Academy of Breath opens in late June. Check out details here!
