"Being present and aware is a huge part of finding your rhythm" -Jackie Moran

Welcome to Episode 6 of The Sleepless Sessions, and for returning listeners, welcome back!
On this podcast we explore the lives of those in pursuit of their passions, dreams, and living unconventional lifestyles!

On this episode I have a conversation with my great friend Jackie Moran as we explore her life story, finding your own path and rhythm, early life challenges that led to awakening moments, becoming a healer, a yoga teacher, to running a business, becoming a parent, the power of collective energy, her next steps, and so much more on this episode! Thank you Jackie for coming on The Sleepless Sessions, this conversation was so powerful!

Substances are mentioned in this episode, and I don't recommend the use of substances; everyone makes their own choices at the end of the day so please do your research and make safety a priority with substances!
