The beginning of 2024 meant moving - for both Sophie and Marianne.

While Sophie had planned her cross-country move from California to Florida for several months, Marianne's from Arizona back to California was unexpected and happened quickly.

The first part of this episode is a conversation recorded shortly after our moves. The second part is a reflection of how that year went for us.

As always, we are honest with our listeners as to what has worked out, what hasn't, what we learned, and where we want to go from here.

Sophie felt that the move to a place where she didn't know anyone was an opportunity for deep soul-searching.

Here are some of her observations.

In California, she had built her life around her young children. The way she was able to teach classes and what activities to pursue.

Now, the children are adults and have gone off to school. But, after moving to Florida, she realized that she had been caught in her own life. The routine, the comfort, the familarity.

The need to rebuild everything was a great opportunity to examine what she really, really wants to do in this phase of her life.

Ayurveda will stay without a doubt.

Sophie will teach a hybrid in-person/Zoom Ayurveda class in January. You might want to listen to our previous episode, which explains what Ayurveda is all about. Listen here

We also have a special episode for our Patreon supporters, which explains in detail how to determine what Dosha we are. Check out this episode here
