What if 10–15 minutes every morning could transform everything — your relationship with food, your confidence, your creativity, even your connection to your purpose?

In this episode of The Embodied Warrior podcast, Kayla MacDonald shares the one daily ritual that radically changed her life—and how you can use it to collapse timelines, ignite your inner fire, and break free from binge and emotional eating.

It’s not another rigid routine. It’s Dance Alchemy—a soul-led, element-based movement practice that brings your entire being online in the most magical way. Kayla shares how this ritual helped her stay consistent, confident, and grounded through major life transitions—and why it might just be the portal you’ve been searching for.

In this powerful episode, you'll learn:

• 💃 Why Dance Alchemy has become a non-negotiable daily ritual for Kayla
• 🔥 The science of why movement unlocks creativity, confidence, and healing
• 🧠 How this practice activates your whole brain (and calms your overthinking!)
• 🌱 The exact ways it helped her stop binge eating and reconnect with her body
• 🪄 Why creating emotional “states” is a skill—and how to practice them like a pro
• ✨ What happened during Kayla’s 40-day challenge—and how her life transformed

Plus: the truth about upper limits, what really helps with cravings, and why replacing habits works better than trying to “just sit with the urge.”

• Why relying on willpower alone keeps you stuck
