In this episode of My Soul Connection, Kay Kavert and guest Rosie Acosta explore the journey of self-discovery, resilience, and mindfulness through yoga and meditation—and the deeper life lessons that come with them. They reflect on Kay’s “Midlife Awakening,” when she transformed a rock-bottom moment into a life aligned with her authentic nature—one she now feels truly excited about.
Rosie opens up about her childhood influences and how they shaped her path, while Kay reflects on her own struggles with over productivity, self-worth, and transformation. Together they remind us that stillness can be found in many ways, resilience is built through challenges, and self-discovery requires both courage and compassion.
