Voted one of the 15 Millennial Yoga Teachers to watch out for, Arielle Shipe is best known for her adventurous spirit and passion for personal development/growth which she shares on Instagram and YouTube. Arielle joins us this week to share her wealth of wisdom about living a fulfilling life. We go deep in this episode exploring how loss impacts our ability to live.

Arielle goes on to share why she believes it’s so important to have a purpose behind your daily actions, how success in one area of life can lift you up in others, and the power sobriety has in getting to know your true worth. She is also working on one of her personal life goals this coming year of thru- hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (a 2,650 mile hiking trail from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon and Washington).

As a climber, adventurer and ex semi-professional snowboarder Arielle has always been one to look for new ways to test her limits of what’s possible. We can’t wait for you to listen!

In This Episode We Discuss:

What Arielle’s IG bio quote, “Hint - the cage is not locked” means

Her plans to hike the Pacific Crest Trail and how it came to fruition

What the unexpected loss of Arielle’s father has taught her about living life

How success in one area of life can propel success in the next

Why sharing experiences on IG can help us all live better lives

Thought Experiment:

One of the things Arielle shared in this episode was her father’s ability to live in the present moment and say yes to things that made him come fully alive. It reminded me of a quote from Howard Thurman that says ““Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Our thought experiment this week is to think about when you feel most alive. Where are you? What are you doing? Who are you with? What are you thinking about? When you find the answer, try to prioritize these moments over others. We need people like you to come fully alive in this world.
