What do you do when life literally stops you in your tracks?
In this spontaneous episode, Mollie records from the side of Alaska’s remote Dalton Highway—stuck for hours behind a snowstorm and a line of trucks after an accident shut down the road. With no cell service and only a satellite connection, she finds herself with nothing to do but… be.
This is the Yoga of Roadblocks.
Mollie shares how years of yoga, meditation, and self-study have changed the way she meets moments like this—when plans unravel, and there’s nothing to “fix.” What begins as frustration unfolds into reflection, gratitude, and even a full-circle realization about the initiations she’s faced every fall for the past few years.
In this episode, I sit down with a VERY special guest for a raw, unscripted conversation about politics, yoga, and what it means to live our practice in the face of uncertainty.
From where my husband, Sean and I live above the Arctic Circle, we’ve recently found ourselves thrust into the political process as Congress attempts to overturn the Central Yukon Resource Management Plan—a 13-million-acre roadmap for how public lands are preserved, accessed, and utilized. The stakes are high not just for Alaska, but for public lands everywhere in the U.S. This is why the episode is so relevant today.
Together, we explore:
— The Congressional Review Act and why its use here sets a dangerous precedent.
— Living yoga off the mat: how philosophy and practice can help us navigate political chaos.
— The yogic tradition of debate and equanimity—what it means to truly hear another perspective, and how to act when values clash.
— Capacity and advocacy: why rest, resilience, and small actions matter in long struggles.
— The bigger question of why try when the odds feel stacked against you—and the yogic lens on ripples we may never see reach the shore.
This isn’t a typical “politics” conversation. It’s about learning, grounding, and finding dharma (purpose) in action, even when outcomes feel uncertain.

We made our first Malas together. We drove to Alaska in a 1977 Dodge Travel Queen motorhome together. We built our yoga studios together. We grew our families together. (Hers primarily of the two-legged variety, mine of the 4-legged!) We’ve experienced love, loss, hardship and — most importantly — friendship since we met over 15 years ago.
In our next act, my bestie Brittany Hopkins Switlick and I present: “The Yoga of Writing a Book”! I’m so proud of the launch of her recent book: Dancing with Our Selves: A practical guide to harness the ego and live on purpose. She and I talk all about it (and many other things!) on Season 4, Episode 2 of my podcast: “The Yoga Of...”

Yoga is everywhere. Yogis are everywhere. And while the world may not see it that way... I do! And I want to share that lens with you. I was recently captivated by the two hour (!) New Heights Podcast episode with Taylor Swift and both Jason and Travis Kelce. And while I’m no football or Tswift expert, I do know yoga… and when it comes to yoga, it was ALL OVER that podcast!
The thing is: The real magic of the yogic path happens is when we start seeing it in all aspects of our life — when we take what we learn on our yoga mat or our meditation cushion and apply it directly to how we show up in the world. So big thanks to Taylor for so many gems to work with.
I’ve saved the best for last! In this final episode of season 3, I’m breaking down how far we’ve come in our Cosmic Journey this season, and then telling you all about Rahu and Ketu - the nodes of the Moon who rule our karmic experience on earth. There’s so much to unpack here, and I’m spending 45 minutes doing it — so buckle up!

Mars is our red-hued spiritual warrior. In this episode, we talk a bunch about action and how we can choose to ACT or REACT in our life. The difference between two has a profound impact on the ripples of synchronicity, and when we tap into Mars energy, we can find confidence, decisiveness and a deep willingness to take responsibility for our actions.

If you're tired of social media telling you to "blame" Mercury Retrograde for your problems, then this episode is for you! Mercury is the great archetype of communication, commerce and... business! For my entrepreneurs out there, tracking the movement of Mercury and truly understanding the meaning behind retrograde motion is critical for us if we want to align our communication style with his movements through the sky.

Saturn can get a little bit of a negative reputation in the zodiac — he is the guardian of change... and his particular brand is the via the long game. Drawn-out challenges, obstacles, and facing our karmic patterns head-on. Saturn rewards hard work and doing things in the proper way — valuing fairness above all else. Working with Saturn can be both humbling and rewarding — listen to this episode for all my tips!
