Do you ever take on way to much at time? Putting unnecessary pressures to met arbitrary deadlines and goals because you think ‘it will never happen if it doesn’t happen now’? That’s what I have been doing for the last 3-4 months and it finally caught up with me. My body and my spirit had had enough and totally shut down on me.  This forced me to step back and get a little perspective.  This episode is a little raw and a lot vulnerable.   Maybe you can relate. If not, hopefully it gives you insight to those of us who are our own worded enemies and critics.  Either way, I hope you like it and I hope you stay with me for the journey to come. 

Walk through what it's like to have a rotating schedule of 24 hour shifts through the holidays and just life in general.  I walk through the different types of schedules throughout the country for firefighters and some of the ups and downs this 24 hour on/48 hour off life gives us.

When I sat down to think about this episode it was supposed to just be about my journey with yoga and becoming a teacher.  But I couldn't tell that story fully without talking about my relationship to fitness, working out and overall wellness.  I am far from having it all figured out.  I'm sure I left a few things out as well.  But this is the bulk of my journey with health and wellness this far in life.  I hope these first few episode allows you to get to know me a little better but please stick around for upcoming episodes.  There are a few interviews with some of my favorite humans coming up (fingers crossed).  Thanks for being here and listening.  Shanti.

Hello, my name is Tiffanie Paige and this is my podcast.  For this first episode I thought I'd tell you a little about me, my life story, why I wanted to start this podcast and what you might expect from it!  Shout out to my gen x people, empty nesters and mid-life warriors!  This is for you!  If you don't fit those categories, please listen and let me know if you get anything out of it.  Please leave comments of how I can do better and ideas for episodes.
