Honestly Unbalanced

Shawna Krueger joins me this week; host of the Leadership and Yoga podcast, bilingual yoga teacher, writer and practitioner of Progressive Ashtanga and Rocket.
We talk about whether yoga really can change the world, why meditation doesn’t necessarily make someone a better leader, and what the yoga industry could learn from the very corporate world it often likes to criticise.
We also explore authenticity, finding your teaching voice, social media, AI-generated content, ambition, comparison and the danger of turning yourself into a character simply because that version gets more likes.
A thoughtful conversation about leadership, creativity and the difference between knowing yoga and actually living it. @shawnakru
“I still believe yoga can change the world. I just don’t think meditation automatically makes someone a better person.”

Ryan Ashton, known online as @ryanashtonwashere, joins me for a remarkably honest conversation about losing his father to Lewy body dementia, the strange shape of anticipatory grief, and what happened when a deeply personal video took him from 300 to 39,000 followers overnight; now almost 150,000.
We talk about the pressure to turn vulnerability into a business, protecting people’s trust in a world full of grifters, and how yoga offered Ryan a presence of mind he hadn’t found elsewhere—until filming it began to turn practice into performance. A moving, funny and refreshingly unpolished conversation about identity, loss, masculinity and learning to sit beside someone without trying to fix them.

In this episode I sit down with Georgiana Cavendish—founder of KIND Matters, feminine business coach, and co-founder of Portugal's Kind Family Gathering
We explore why kindness is far more than simply being nice, how success can become another form of self-abandonment, and why building a meaningful business starts with knowing your values. We also dive into conscious parenting, moving from London to Portugal, community, money, self-worth, and how to create a life that feels aligned rather than simply impressive. @kindmatters

In this episode, I sit down with Alyce Harrison—yoga teacher, lawyer, co-founder of Ireland's Yoga Picnic Festival, and a leading voice in Celtic Yoga—to explore the fascinating connections between Irish mythology, nature-based wisdom, and modern yoga practice.
We discuss Celtic yoga, the revival of Irish language and culture, building an independent grassroots festival, and why people are increasingly drawn to authentic community experiences. Along the way, we explore storytelling, seasonality, sustainability, and the ripple effect yoga can have far beyond the mat.
A thoughtful conversation about belonging, tradition, nature, and what it means to stay connected to what really matters. @theyogapicnic.

I’m joined by Posture Ellie to rethink what posture actually is — not standing up straight, but the quality of your movement patterns. We explore why comfort isn’t always healthy, how modern life creates pain, the difference between default and natural posture, and why treating the body as a whole matters. A grounded conversation about movement, pain, self-care and restoring what the body is designed to do. ‪@postureellie‬
