REPLAY: Episode 4 with Yanina Scolnic - Let's Get Grounded!

Lately, I’ve been moving through a wave of anxiety I haven’t felt since 2020. With so much noise and toxicity in the world right now, I’ve found myself feeling overwhelmed, helpless, and at times, deeply resigned. Once again, I recently lost touch with my own mental wellness, and this past week, it really caught up with me.

In searching for a way back to center, I revisited a conversation from early last season that helped me reconnect and breathe again. It reminded me of the power of pause, and how essential it is to offer ourselves the same care and compassion we so often give to others. So this week, I’m resharing that episode in hopes it brings you the same clarity and calm it gave me.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with the luminous Yanina Scolnic—a self-described “soul in evolution” living in Costa Rica. Yanina is a certified life coach, yoga and meditation teacher, Reiki master, sound therapist, and gifted singer with a voice that has the unique power to heal our wounds. Her purpose is to guide people back to themselves, to help us reconnect with authenticity, peace, and joy from the inside out. Together, we talk about what self-care really means, and how simple, intentional practices can bring us back into balance. There’s wisdom, warmth, and a little magic in this conversation, and so needed.

So, thank you, truly, for your patience. I’ll be back next week with a brand-new episode you won't want to miss!  To be honest, some days are heavier than others and yesterday, I just didn’t have it in me to show up. But I’m here now, and I’m so grateful you are too.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Just2u podcast. My name is Eric Nicole and I'm your host. If you are a first time listener, welcome to the conversation. And if you're a regular, I'm honored that you've decided to join me for another episode. The Just2u podcast is centered around a network of conversations, which are meant to connect us, to inspire https: otter. ai And who knows? We might even learn a little something new that ultimately allows us to live in the sweet spot that I like to call the just you, you space it being. Each week I have the privilege of sitting down for unscripted conversations with friends, family, colleagues, community leaders, and influencers that all share their own personal journeys. I hope that you enjoy our time together as much as I have. We are certainly gonna laugh, and yes, we might even cry a little, but in the end, we're gonna know that we're not alone during our life's journey. So, are you ready? Great, let's do this. Welcome to The Conversation. I'm so excited for this episode and to introduce you to not only my friend, but a colleague and just a extraordinary human being Yanina Skolnick. Hi Yanina. Hi Eric. It's good to see you. It's beautiful. Amazing to see you. So we're going to start out a little differently. I'm going to introduce you. with you in the room, because I want you to hear how you show up for me and for the world. And then we want a little special treat. So let me just briefly introduce you and then we're going to go right into your special treat for us. Okay. Perfect. Okay. So to our listeners this is Janina Skolnick. She is an Argentinian who is living in Costa Rica. And I met Yanina several months ago, back in March, April, when I was there for a client's incentive program. And I took a couple extra days to, sightsee and to do some activities. And we'll talk about what happened in a little bit. But I met Yanina and my life truly transformed over the course of the eight hours. I think that we interacted on that first day. I have to read this cause it's quite extensive. You're a healer, a life coach. a singer, a sound therapist, a yoga and meditation teacher, and a Reiki master. So we're going to get into all that in a couple of minutes. But I am so excited. You've got a special treat for us. Why don't you explain to us what you're going to do before we get into the conversation? Okay, first, hi everybody. I'm so excited and happy to be here. I love opening spaces with a special mantra. It's gonna, it's a protection mantra. So I invite all of you to sit comfortable on the couch, on the sofa, on the floor. On the bed. Just relax the shoulders, close your eyes, and just connect with the vibrations. Breathe in and breathe out on your belly. PEACE PEACE. PEACE Beautiful. Oh my goodness. Thank you for that. That was beautiful. It took me right back to that first day that we met, that voice and that energy and that soul is just, oh my gosh, thank you for that, Janina. And we're going to have some fun. My pleasure. Yeah. We're going to have some fun in the conversation. I also, and I apologize for referring to my notes, but I have to, because I think it's important. Okay. You wrote when we started to chat about this podcast and what we wanted to talk about. We decided we were going to talk a little bit about self care, but not in the traditional sense. Not in this kind of westernized, social media sense where we're all, facials and manicures and pedicures and all that kind of stuff, self care. We're going to talk about self care. But you said something interesting in your bio and it was your life's purpose and I'm just going to read it because I think it's super important and it sets the tone for the conversation. You said your life's purpose is to serve humanity by helping individuals reconnect with themselves, tap into their being. Live genuinely, happily and peacefully from the heart, and I thought that was really powerful because that was my experience of you when I met you that first day in Costa Rica. And I'm a. America, and I talk fast, so I know that if you need me to slow down, just tell me. It's okay. I love you. I love your whole being, and you make me laugh a lot, so you make me feel joyful. So go ahead. But if you need to say slow down, just, give me one of those. No, you're perfect. Okay. So little backstory. So went to Costa Rica, had a couple of days on my own before our clients arrived. And I thought I would take in the sites and I always love to experience a spa treatments from the spas that I go to and visit. It's become my little gift to myself. And the day before the treatment, I took a tumble. And in retrospect, I look at it now. Like the universe was really telling me to slow down and to pay attention because I was running at about a thousand miles an hour. There were multiple projects, there were things happening, I was dating again, and there were a lot of conversations that I was having in and around my own life that just had me a little sporadic. So I took this tumble, ended up in the ER in Costa Rica, which was an interesting experience, not speaking the language natively. But I decided the next day, what better way to deal with the pain of falling and the injury than to do a spa treatment. And I remember the concierge saying, there is this amazing treatment that is yoga, meditation. Sound healing and a massage. And it was like four hours long. And I don't know if you've any of our listeners have been to Costa Rica or Thailand or other countries, but the cost of those types of services in these other countries is like a third of what we pay here. So I was like, sign me up. I am up for the four hours. And I remember getting ready and getting changed and sitting in the waiting room, having a conversation about what the practitioner was going to be like, does she know what she's doing? Has she done this before? Is she some just local that just likes to do sound healing? Because I have done this all over the world. And I will never forget the moment you came walking around the corner. And not only were you just beaming with this beautiful smile and this amazing energy, I noticed that I was instantly relaxed and instantly calm. And I started to not feel the pain of my wrist because I had fallen on both my wrists and my knees. And I just was like, what is happening, right? What's happening and what took place over that next. Three hours, if you will. I think we did a combination of meditation and the sound healing was pretty extraordinary. And I'm not gonna go into all the details'cause it's personal to me, and it's also personal to you and I, but why I'm bringing it up is it made me realize that in this world that we live in, the C. Chaos. Chaos and the craziness of our daily lives and the fact that we are all seeming to run somewhere. To get some place not quite sure where that is to an end result or we're working hard to find peace and balance in our lives. We're not doing the things that we need to do for ourselves. So when you sat me down and I got into this position on the floor and we started to do the sound healing or the meditation first, sorry. The breathing. Yes, the breath. Breathing. I think, yeah. What was it called? Say it again. Alternate nostrils breathing. Yes. Alternate. One nostril, and you breathe, and then you block both and blah, blah, blah. So you alternately breathe. from one nostril and the other to balance the right and the left hemisphere of the brain and to wake up the energy along your nadis, the energy channels along your body. Thank you for explaining that because that now makes sense. That then led into our meditation. Yeah. And then we did the mantra chanting with the Gayatri Mantra and we ended up with the sound healing. And in between, I think I think in between meditation, I think in between breathing, I think after meditation, we did a little bit of life coaching. We did. And that's what I wanted to talk about real quick. So in the process. Yeah. And that took us to the mantra straight. So in between the meditation, which brought up a lot for me, a lot came to the surface, a lot started to get released. I obviously was very emotional. It was exhausting in a really good way. But in between. those two practices. You said something to me without having ever met me, without ever having known my story, and you looked at me and you said, when are you going to start just doing you? And you had no idea that was the name of the podcast, that was tattooed on my wrist, soon to be, because it hadn't been done there, that was Something that I had been working on for years to find that space of just doing me being myself being my authentic self the chant we're going to get into and into a second because obviously that was something that I think is such a gift for you but talk a minute if you can about the importance and how you found yourself in this kind of genre but the importance of those practices in people's daily lives even if it's for a brief you moment, not three hours, but a brief moment in time. How important is it for people to really get themselves balanced? And what are some of the ways that you think that benefits people? That's a pretty good question. I think it's extremely important. How can we have a happy life if we don't start by ourselves? We open the agenda or the phones and we look, okay, got to go and take the kids to school. Then I grab a coffee, go to work. I get out, I go to the gym and then have dinner with friends or my husband, for example. So if you see the schedule, there's everything from me to the outside. Okay. And we are made of energy. So we have to fulfill our soul, our energy, our subtle bodies. It's extremely important. I don't have one recipe. I believe that each person can find what suits better for him or her. I can talk about my routine. I chant every day. I meditate for 20 minutes in the morning in the evening and I do yoga for at least half an hour every day. But I am lying if I would say, Oh, I do this routine every day. No. There are some days that I'm very busy, but I, if I don't fool myself with some of the things I mentioned, I will feel completely dry. I will feel empty because I can't allow myself to just give, and give. I need to pour myself with the best water I find. And for me, the best water is the way to connect with God, the way to connect with the source. When I chant, I clean myself instantly. When I do yoga, my mind goes down from 100 to 50. And when I meditate, I connect with the source of life. So which one, Eric, is better for you? I don't know. I can share the tools with you and I can tell my friend, I have this and this in the menu. Which we tool from all the ones I mentioned. Do you feel comfortable? And it's not about doing an hour every day. It's first a warning of taking care of yourself. Imagine you are a beautiful white or pink flower without receiving water. You will die. You will die. How can you bloom? We need to connect with a source of life, with God, universe. Because we are a soul on a body. That's why I said to you, just one minute, when you asked me like some lines, I am a soul in evolution. I am a soul in this body. I don't know everything. I am learning every day, every moment. And I learn with all my clients, it's not just me giving to them, I learn a lot, but in order to be better and better on my job, which I love and I feel passionate about, I need to pour myself with the best water. Do you find, I think I know the answer to this, but do you find that people in general are not only disconnected from source. Or from God or from whatever in a lot of cases, are they disconnected from themselves and their own soul? Does that make sense? Yeah, people are existing outside of their body. So in that case, because I think there are people who are very fearful or perhaps hesitant to try something like. A mantra or a meditation or a sound bath healing, what would you say to the person that has never experienced that, that has a little hesitation? What would you say to them not to put you on the spot to try it for the first time? I would say yoga because yoga, it's very trendy yoga. All the, yeah, speak please, because you want to say something. No, I just wanted to say so that yoga is the given because here in America, that's everyone's doing yoga. They're doing it's on the internet. It's on Instagram. Wait. Okay. Okay. Hatha yoga. Hatha yoga. Hatha yoga. Okay. Hatha yoga. Not hot yoga. Because those type of yogas are more workout for me. Okay. I'm sorry if I am insulting some audience, but for me, I am a specialist in Hatha yoga. Hatha yoga. So the Hatha Yoga, it's a system where you hold the postures. You work a lot on the breath and you relax in between postures. So you are moving the body, which is the best and easiest way to connect with the spiritual, but at the same time, this type of yoga, it's pretty meditative. So it's very spiritual. You understand my point? I do. And so I also apologize because I didn't want to offend anyone because I think yoga is great. No, I'm just apologizing to the listeners because I don't want to offend anyone that does yoga. And I didn't mean it that way. What I meant was, is that most everybody knows what yoga in their head could be. I guess my question to you was if they wanted to try sound bath healing or chanting or that kind of meditation, but we're hesitant. What would you say to them as a way of getting them to maybe be a little more comfortable in trying something like that? Sound bad because yoga and sound bad. Sound bad. And what would you say, how would you talk to somebody about the first time? I'm gonna explain why sound bath, for example, and not meditation. Because when you meditate it's very hard because you have to have your spinal column stretch for maybe 20 minutes. And it's a lie that you're going to see everything in blank, but you have to keep the mind focused and keep doing that for Western, for us, it's very difficult. So for me maybe people can run away the start with meditation. So maybe if you have practiced, I don't know, yoga for two months, three months, you start meditation with baby steps. But sound bath, you come to a session, for example, you come to my session, I explain to you, okay, what is it a sound bath, how are we going to do it? And the only thing you need for doing a sound bath is surrender to the present moment. You lie down on your back, you cover your eyes with a towel, and you re sit. You have to be open to receive, you have to really surrender in mind, soul, and body, so that the pure vibrations can affect you. And how does the sound affect you positively? So the sounds, the sound travels through your blood and through your brain waves. It's very interesting that. So I use very pure instruments, for example, the bows here. I use a giant gong. I use different instruments made of course, and of course I use my voice, because a live instrument is the most powerful of all, because I am a live person, I am a human. So you can feel a little bit more extra with the voice, with the human voice. So a sound bath, for example it's very subtle, it's very sweet. You start breathing, you start connecting with the way you are thinking of you right now and accepting the way you are feeling right now. And then you think about the way you want to feel. And that becomes the intention for the session. And then you keep breathing in and out your intention, and then you lie down and you receive for about an hour. So it's pretty easy. It's just about surrendering and believing and trust, for example, in me or in any other therapist that is going to run the session. And after a sound bath, you feel completely relaxed, happy, and more than anything, peaceful. It's, oh my God, it's, it works so deep. And it, for me, it's so easy because you just write down. Does everybody cry like I did though? What? Does everybody cry like I did? It's interesting. Some people cry, some people laugh, some people fall asleep very deeply. So everything is allowed. everything is allowed. I think that self care has to be joyful, has to be okay, what do I need today? I need to dance crazily, do it. I need to growl myself dancing, do it. If we can take five minutes every day to just sit in silence, okay, what do I need today? Oh, I feel my back terrible, okay, maybe I can use a bowl. behind my back and moving circles and massage myself and then meditate five minutes. It's not that there is a perfect way to start the day. Do you connect with you every day? What do I need? How do I need to fulfill myself today? Maybe tomorrow is going to be different. That's really important to just pause there for a second because I think I said this earlier. We are so disconnected, not only to ourselves, but even to our worlds and to our friends and family, at least this is my experience, and it's why I started this podcast, was because I wanted to reconnect, I wanted to bring people together, I wanted to have conversations that were a little bit more intimate than, hey, did you watch a certain show last night, or did you catch a certain video on a certain, social media platform, when you and I did the sound the chanting and the mantra I didn't know that it was coming was probably. And I'll preface this by saying I have done massage, sound bath healing, other types of treatments all over the world when I've traveled. And they've been wonderful. They've been great, very transformative, very powerful. There was something about the experience that I had with you that was life altering. And here's why. Because I came back from. an amazing week in Costa Rica with our clients and the company that I work with and having met you. It was a beautiful week and all, Costa Rica is extraordinary. And beautiful, hot and humid, but beautiful. But I came back to the United States after having had that experience and it was almost like there was no stopping the train that had left the station, which is a term we use. In starting the things that I had been putting off for so long, therapy was number one, dealing with the past trauma of my divorce and the loss, which I had suppressed for all those years during the pandemic, starting this podcast, finding the courage and the clarity and the strength to just sit down and record a podcast about it. conversation about being yourself, about just doing you. It started different conversations of my relationships with my mom and my family and friends. I had realized that I had become very introverted and I had disconnected myself with Source. I wasn't grounding. I was not meditating. I was not doing yoga. I was going to the gym, but I wasn't taking the time to turn off my brain and focus on me. And so self care has become this now trendy thing. And I fear that we're going to lose the importance of That self care meaning, taking that time for myself to ground, to connect to source or to connect to our relationship with God whatever that is that you have in relationship with, connect to the people that are important to us, connect to the projects that are important to us, and even more importantly, connect to the people that are important to us and make a difference. And so when you did that beautiful chant. I remember seeing vibrant color, I remember seeing images, I remember seeing my life, if you will, unfold and almost this it's a term I've heard, death grip, which means it's a strangulation or a suffocation of my life release in that moment. And I think you said something to me a couple of weeks ago as we were working on a project together with Nathan. I think you said something to me that everybody needs to be heard and everybody needs to be There was another word, was it? Not felt. It was heard and It was heard. Because I thought you Yeah. Everyone needs to be It was heard and hold. Hold. Hold. Held. Yes. Hold. Heard. It's the H team, heard and hold, supported. So that's the thing that I think I felt the most during that session with you is I felt heard and I felt held. I felt safe, and I felt comfortable. I felt like I could be vulnerable. I felt like I could let go of the dialogue, the monologue, that was going on in my head about my life. Why did things go the way that they went? How did what happened with my marriage happen? How do I pick up from here and move on? How do I find balance in my career and my life? How do I make new friends? All the questions that I had been suffocating in this little box of Uncertainty became very free and I don't know if I ever shared that with you. I think we've talked a lot since then, but what was so powerful for me, I was listening to the mantra the other day and what I found so interesting was, is that every time I listened to it and I go back there, what seems to happen is this sense of connection with you, who is thousands of miles away from me in a different country. And I think, I don't think, I keep saying that, I know it's why I resonated with you and said to you as I stood up and was dealing with the after effects of this three hours we spent together. And I said to you, we're going to work together, we're going to connect, we're going to be friends, we're going to help people, we're going to make a difference in people's lives. And I share that because you, again, Argentinian living in Costa Rica with your beautiful husband and family doing these amazing yoga sessions and sound bath healings in paradise are exactly what you said you were when you introduced yourself earlier, a soul in evolution. And what I find fascinating is that I met you in another country. The chances of us meeting were pretty slim, except I say, given where I was at in my life, the universe put me in Costa Rica with this company to produce this incentive to meet you. To then go back out into my life and do what I'm doing now. And that's a pretty hefty statement to make. That some people may go don't think so. It's just what's and I, but I truly believe that we meet the people that we need to meet at the time we need to meet them. And so I ask you another question about your practice. When you're working with a group, because I'm always been fascinated by this because you and I worked one on one When you're working with a group and you are obviously feeling everyone's energy in that room or in that space Is that overwhelming for you? Or are you able to? compartmentalize all of their energy coming at you so that you know how to teach them and Be you who they need and who they're experiencing. Is that an easy practice or is that really difficult for you? As a practitioner it depends on what I am not the same every day I have days and days when I am, when I feel stronger days, when I have my own things of my own that of course I always leave aside when I work by it, but I'm still a human being. For example, today I facilitated a yoga class for 38 people. Huge group. That's a big group. Yeah. It was a wedding and they asked for yoga and I facilitated with my husband and not even finishing it. I realized I was exhausted. So the moment I left the class, I started chanting. I know my pills, what I said before, and I couldn't manage and I don't feel less people or not as professional. I'm sharing this with you guys because this is real life. And sometimes I have to deal maybe with 10 people that I feel their energies, but that day I feel particularly strong and it doesn't affect me at all. So we depends, but what makes a difference is when I feel affected, what do I do with that? I don't keep it. I don't keep it. I transform that. I clean myself in different ways. The first thing I do is chant and then I continue with meditation or yoga. It depends on the way, or maybe I need a walk by the beach. Sometimes I clean myself with the chantings and yesterday I fulfilled myself with a walk by the beach. Again, nothing better for me, connecting with your heart. It's like you sit on your heart. You can have the intention of visualizing yourself, sitting on your heart and answer to yourself. What do I need right now? I have had an exhaustive day. I have deal with this and that. Okay. So I have now an hour for me. Okay. Before going to the street and I don't know running where to, I'm going to sit and listen to my heart. And your heart is going to tell you what do you need right now, right here, right now. So again, the answer is, it depends on the session. It depends on the client and it depends on how do I feel that day as a therapist. Did you know early on in your journey of life from obviously birth till now, did you know early on that you were going to follow this path as a healer? Or did this come out of nowhere? I have always known that I was quite different in my family. I come from a Jewish family, I told you. And yeah, since I was a kid, I was, I had so many questions, but first I follow the past as an artist, as a singer. And it's like both paths, like the spiritual, if I want to put a name on the artistic, like they were all the time touching like these like spirals and I still sing at night. Sometimes I facilitate, I give shows. But I am absolutely aware that most of the times I've, I finished drained my energy completely realized that now I am about to fully dedicate to wellness. But years ago it was like more the artist and more the ego than the healer. But I was going to marry when I was 27 and At that age, I became a Reiki master, going first as a patient to a Reiki healer. So at that moment, I realized I could choose the path of being a healer. Because he told me, would you like to do all the levels? Because I see this and this on you and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What? Because I have already did the yoga teacher's training. I was meditating, learning Ayurveda, learning a lot of things. but not dedicated to it. And after a year of Reiki, I said, Oh my God, what is this? So I was putting my hands on patients and I had all the meditations coming and I see some things I was visualizing, like what you say for the patient. So that was a revelation. Is that word okay? Yes. English. And then I separated from that guy and I started like a new life. And I have like many. Rebirths along my life. I am now almost 42. And yeah I think that moment was the first moment when I realized, Oh, what is this? This is beautiful. Yeah, that was the first call. I will say this. We are very blessed. The world is blessed to have Janina in it. Want my dream. And I think we're doing this in a project we're working on, but my dream is to bring you to the people and to let them experience you. Because, like I said, you're sitting out in Costa Rica. I probably would have not met you had I not come there for work. And. I really want people to know who you are and the gift that you have and the gift that you give and your voice is absolutely beautiful. I use the word angelic because it is it's so soothing and so soft. Even when you talk, I'm very captivated. I'm usually a loss for words, which is But a loss for words when you talk because I'm so interested in listening to what you're talking about. And I hope that, we've just given people a little glimpse today of you and what you've done. And I hope that you would consider coming back and maybe we could talk a little bit in a deeper dive about a particular practice like sound bath or like meditation. Yeah. And yeah, and talk about that because the self care concept and this just do you realm of being is really important. And I even have to, I even have to remember to make time I wake up every morning and I am out the door before I even make my first cup of coffee and shower. Like my brain is out the door at my first appointment or at the gym. And. I'm really excited about finding this space again to wake up and to just enjoy the morning. I remember being in Africa on safari and we had no phones and I was in a tent by myself. We were there with a group and a client and I remember laying there going, Oh, I don't have my phone. I don't know what's going on in the world. And I remember the group went out to do a drive and I said, I'm going to stay back in this gorgeous, I think it was like a 1400 square foot tent in the middle of the Okavango Delta in Africa. And I said, I want to wake up with the world. I want to know what that's like. And I remember laying there. It was peaceful. It was quiet. And I started to hear animals hippopotamus walking by. I started to hear elephants out in the distance, looking out over the Delta. There was a herd of giraffe and birds flying by. And then I started hearing animals talking to each other. And then this herd of elephants walked by. And I remember laying there, drinking a cup of coffee and saying to myself, how disconnected. I was back at home because my life evolved around a phone and Facebook and social media because that was my job. That's how I communicated with people. And I think there's a time and place for that, but I remember coming back from that Safari saying, I'm going to make a point to be present in the moment and to just wake up with the world every single solitary day and let it evolve naturally. And if you were to ask me how that's going for me, I would tell you that it's not because we get sucked right back into the chaos. And. The calendar, and the alarms, and everything that comes. This is what I first said. What I first said. Once you look at the schedule, you have to go, it's from Janina, out. So what, how would your day be if before opening your agenda, before looking at your schedule, you just sit on your bed and breathe for five minutes. I'm not talking about an hour. Lisa, I'm talking about five or 10 minutes. You don't even have to sit up, you maybe are lying down on the bed, and you place your hands on your belly, what I do first in yoga class, and I invite people to connect on a belly breath, because they oxygenate their body more than if they breathe on their clavicles. It's a very simple and powerful practice. What if you start the day, okay, before I put my feet on the ground, I'm going to place my hands on my belly and take 50 breaths, 20 breaths. It's nothing, but it's a lot. Or what if I sit and I meditate thinking of a flower, thinking of The sea, thinking of my beautiful dog, your beautiful dog, in just five minutes, not 15, five. And then you go to the coffee, the kids, the office, the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And let me tell you something that I consider it's important. When you talked about the safari, it was not a meditation. It was not yoga. It was not a sound bath. But, nature. It's a straight connection with the universe, with the whole, as soon as we put the feet on the ground, in the earth, on the grass, by the beach, we are connected. We don't need much. What you said, that allowed, you said that allowed me to be present. And you, it's not that you sat down with the hippopotamus. No, you weren't there without your phone. And that was a meditation using this, think about, as we start to wrap this up, think about what this world would be like if everybody started out their morning, everybody in the world started out their morning with five minutes of breath being present and then maybe making a commitment to just go out in the world and to just do you and to be your authentic self and to say what's there for you and to be in service to others because that's why we're all here. What would that world be like? And that's something that brings me the greatest amount of joy and hope. And I just want to say this before I think you have another special surprise for us as we kind of transition out of at least this podcast episode, you're going to be back. I know it is. I'm clear, and if I'm redundant, I'm sorry, I'm going to say it anyway. I'm clear that this world is a better place with you in it. And it's because I'm also clear because I'm speaking from experience that once you touch people in the way that you heal them and the way that you interact with them, they go back out into the world, back to their homes, back to their jobs, back to their families, back to their careers, back to their projects. And whether they know it or not, they're taking back what they learned from you in that experience and they're giving it away. And it's in that giving that away that Yanina then now lives out in the world. And so I'm committed that we do this again so that more people can know about who you are and more people can experience you. Tell people how to find you on Instagram. Cause I love your Instagram page and I know you're working on it, but what's your Instagram handle? It's S-H-A-B-D-A, Shada, CR. Okay. And I'm gonna make so Sha, Shada, cr and I'm gonna make sure that we actually put that in the social media post when we launch this episode. So do me a favor. If you will. I know you're going to lead us out. I'm going to say goodbye to everyone. I'm going to say thank you to you for being here. I am just thrilled that you're one of my first guests. Can't wait to have you back again. But I look forward to seeing everyone next week. As well for our next podcast episode, you're going to love it. Another really extraordinary human being. But I'm going to let you Nina actually close us out with a special gift and a simple wave goodbye. And I hope you guys all enjoy your day. Go out into the world, get present, get grounded. Take a moment for yourself. Take a moment for yourself. Please, and love on yourself a little bit and know that's going to make a difference in the lives of the people that you care about, as well as yours. So you need to thank you for being here. Thank you so much. Let's go out with a special surprise. Okay. Close your eyes again, breathe in and breathe out on your belly. Relax the shoulders, facial muscles and your neck. Why not a smile on your face. Inhale all together. I love you. I love you. Talk to you soon. Bye everybody. Have a great week. Bye. Thank you. All right, everyone. Thank you again for joining us on today's episode. I hope our conversation resonated with you like it did me, and I cannot wait to sit down with you all again next week.
