Azia Introduction:

I had the profound opportunity of listening to her speak last year in May, when I attended the Ultimate Product Party conference, it's a two day conference for products based businesses. And I was so incredibly blown away by her opening keynote speech. She is a mindfulness coach where she partners with women to provide tools to promote mindful living in the midst of high demands for both them and those connected to them through coaching programs, workshops and speaking.

Azia's Story:

As a dance education major in college it lead her to discover her love and connection with yoga. In her mid-thirties, she got to a point where she just hit a wall and something needed to change. She found that it might be amazing to teach kids yoga and give them the tools to find their calm like she felt when she did yoga. Then she thought about how much these tools would also benefit moms and other women.

What That Looks Like With Her Family:

Azia then shares how she uses these tools with her own kids. For her daughter, it looks like a lot of check ins and letting her express her feelings in the present moment. For her younger son, it was finding a calming corner so he can breathe and find peace.

A Moment to Pause:

Whether it's going for a mid day walk, or journaling. Finding around 30 minutes in your day to be mindful is how she lets go of the stress of her day and find a moment just for her.

Check Ins:

These moments of pause led her to start using it to check in with herself. "Sometimes it's just those short little practical things of like, I don't feel like, or even tapping into how you feel, like, if you're going somewhere and you're there out of obligation, do how do you feel when you leave? Do you feel more drained?" These check ins allow you to make sure your cup isn't overflowing so you still have some for you and everyone you are taking care of.

Conclusion- What's Next for Azia:

She will be the MC for Ultimate Product Party 2024. As well as opening up a coaching program in the early part of winter and hosting a retreat. The retreat would be a small group of women so they can have conversations and do some yoga.
