Today we are catching up with Claudia and Kenda to connect over discussions of spiritual, emotional and mental growth. 

With all the fast-paced, day-to-day changes we all go through, sometimes the best thing to do is sit down, take a deep breath and reconnect. Whether that's with yourself, a friend, a mentor or anyone else, you want to make an active and intentional part of your circle.

 In today's episode, they chat about what they are going through and the growth moments that give our lives purpose. 

As podcast hosts, it is incredibly easy to get swept up in all of the inspirational stories and amazing guest stars that are featured on The Art of Living podcast, but at the same time opening some space for the stories that go untold and allowing you (our audience!) to peek behind the curtain into some of the more personal and challenging hurdles is just another way to connect. 

During their conversation, Claudia shares her struggles with healing physically while working on a spiritual and emotional level as well as some of the ways she's been able to not only cope but thrive! 

We also hear from Kenda on the subject of physical fitness and learning to overcome fears, doubts and anxieties as well as being open to new knowledge and possibilities. She shares her very personal journey with learning to enjoy physical fitness and all the elements of it in a brand new way. 

As you listen to today's episode ask yourself if there is anyone in your life that you want to check in with but haven't?  Is it possible that person is you? 

As Claudia and Kenda share their own stories think about your progress in your own life and some of the areas that you might not be appreciating how far you've come. 

Listening to this episode you will learn even more about our lovely podcast hosts personal journeys as well as some excellent strategies for facing those challenges that creep up in everyday life. 

 If you find yourself looking for that connection and ready to explore the physical, spiritual and emotional journeys we take with ourselves then this jam-packed episode is for you!
