The Yogi Walrus Gets Roasted
Episode 20
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025
We want to hear from you! Send us a text message.When someone's attempt at a mean insult is exactly what you need to laugh, reframe, and reclaim your power. In this episode, I’m joined by Dee Doyno as we turn the infamous “yogi walrus” comment into a playful springboard for real conversation about body talk, wellness culture, and loosening perfectionism with a little humor. We even dive into AI roasts of our own Instagram selves—espresso auras, chaos energy, and brass-knuckle kindness included—because when you can giggle at your shadows, it makes healing a little more palatable. From laughter, we shift into depth: exploring boundaries, non-attachment, self-worth, and the difference between forgiveness and access. We talk about transitioning from a “year nine” to a “year one,” shedding old skins, and starting fresh without burnout. We also get into yoga beyond the mat—living the eight limbs, navigating life after a 200-hour teacher training, and why mentorship and lifelong learning are game-changers for real bodies in real spaces.Plus, we’re relaunching our 28-day yoga challenge as an accessible, daily container to rebuild rhythm, integrate breath and study, and lean on community accountability. Consider it a sneak peek of what’s coming next: deeper mentorship and a teacher training that honors lineage while supporting modern life.If you’re craving a reset that blends heart, humor, and practice, this episode is for you.
