In this episode I talk about how we can start to uncover what's holding us back when we're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsatisfied. When you feel fear getting louder, it can be a beautiful invitation to dive in and find out what's really beneath the surface.

In this episode I dive into the importance of your voice and story - even if we don't think our journey or story is important enough to share. Our ability to own our voice and story is what allows us to create impact in the world, if only we're able to let go of our self-limiting beliefs and fully step into our power, and in the process inspire and impact others.

In October of 2019 I spent a whole month in Bali...meditating. In order to achieve my 500hr meditation training I spent a month long studying and practicing meditation, including observing three and a half days of silence, meditating for a total of 24 hours over those three days. What developed was a lot of deep insights about myself, so I decided upon returning home to share my thoughts in the hopes that some of the messages I received might resonate with others. 

In this episode I talk about a question that's been on my mind lately, "what would be most nourishing to YOU?" 

It sounds like a simple question, but it made me realize that with my old habits of people pleasing and co-dependency I often forget to check in with myself and see what would would make me feel well. 

To some it might come naturally, but to me I often think about what would be best for the other people in my life - coworkers, clients, boyfriend, family, before I even think about what I would like. Changing this habit has been a process, but this question I was asked opened up a window for me to see that sometimes it's as simple as checking in with yourself. 

In part two of this episode, Safiya continues to share how her journey evolved from working in the TV industry and experiencing panic attacks and burnout to traveling to Bali to pursue her yoga teacher training and two years later officially launching I Am Well Community. 

In this first episode of Mindful Mornings host Safiya Bouhouch introduces us to the I Am Well Community and how it all came to be. From her childhood living across the world that built her love for creating community to her journey from working towards being a writer in the industry and burning out, Safiya shares the details of how she went from working in TV production to healing her own health issues and becoming a wellness instructor. 

This 5 minute guided meditation takes you on a journey inward, following the tide of your breath and tapping into the calm energy that is within you.
