#054: Let Your Fears Make You Fierce with Celebrity Holistic Health Coach and Yoga Instructor Koya Webb
This week on the Alchemized Life Podcast, we welcome Celebrity Health Coach and Yoga Instructor, Koya Webb. Although Koya was fascinated with living well since she was a little girl, she didn’t realize her passion for wellness until an injury forced her to give up track. At a loss with her identity, she embarked on a path of self-discovery through yoga. Once she transformed her mindset from one of “victim” to “creator”, she healed body, mind and spirit within a year. Today, she has built a wellness empire founded on health, courage, and most importantly, love, entitled Get Loved Up.
Looking at her tremendous success, you would never guess that Koya struggled with so much fear, self-doubt and anxiety. Despite her fears and feelings of unworthiness, she had the courage to move forward because her “why” – desire to help others heal and make a difference in the world - was so much stronger. As this fierce goddess eloquently said on the podcast, “You have to get up more times than you’ve been knocked down.” Rather than submitting to defeat, she encourages you to ask yourself, “If not that, then what?” Repeating this simple mantra will help you step back into a space of love and acceptance, aligning you with your highest purpose because the next best thing is coming your way. In the meantime, Koya urges us to celebrate the yeses!
One of Koya’s favorite ways to overcome fear, and in turn, anxiety is to practice self-care. Practicing gratitude, taking a bath, enjoying a massage or eating a healthy meal are just some of the ways we can take time to restore on a physical and spiritual level. Because when we take time to love ourselves, we become a conduit for good rather than spreading more fear and negativity throughout the collective consciousness.
We talk about:
- How Koya fell in love with wellness and overcame her fear of failure to build a successful empire in the wellness industry
- What is fear, and how can we move through it
- Why is it important to change your mindset from one of victim to creator
- Simple practices we can all do right now to face our fears, cultivate more love and live in alignment with our higher purpose
