Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. In this conversation with my friend and fellow yoga teacher Gianni, we explore one of the biggest - and perhaps most impossible - questions…

Although I wouldn't say that I really see the influence of that practically in day-to-day life.
When in doubt, pull out the phone.
I think internally she has some alignment there, but it was never pushed onto my sister and I, and certainly my dad really doesn't subscribe to any sort of religion.

Starting to see the origin story of Nikki.
Yeah, yeah,
And that kind of planted an initial seed to just look generally in that direction because some of the concepts that he brought up resonated with me.
I would say that I was very inherently spiritual from a very young age, if not straight from the get-go.
I felt like it was always there as a driving force of one of the characteristics of me, such as, you know, what is the nature of the universe? I mean, I remember we had one of those outdoor toilets at the first house that I was raised in.
