“You are all already perfect, until you’re not.” - Hilary Garivaltis
“We disrupt [our enoughness, our perfection] with doubt and fear and choices and habits that don’t serve us well. It doesn’t take away from our deserving, or our humanness, though.” --Andrea Catherine
“We need pitta people to lead, to step up... to follow through...to take action...and do so fearlessly. Kapha’s going to be the one who’s like, ‘slow down, we need to think this through a little more.’ Vata’s... throwing the idea way out there, and pitta’s like, ‘yea let’s go!” -- Andrea Catherine
“As individuals who have different dispositions, we can offer our strengths to other people to help them find balance, to help them nurture and nourish their needs.” -- Kelsey Starr

Meet Liam:
I’m Liam Bowler, a licensed massage therapist, structural bodyworker, musician and rock climbing guide (among other things, of course). Some of my loves lately: these heartbreakingly beautiful Montana sunsets, my weekly "Spotify suggests" playlist, yoga, cutting my own hair, this podcast, learning how my car works, meditation, taking my neighbors' dog for walks in the hills behind my house.
I live in Missoula, Montana, and make regular trips to Seattle—for work and fun—and sometimes other places, too. If you'd like what I do to come near you, please shoot me a line and let me know.
You can learn more about my bodywork practice at my website for that: Dynamic Alignment Bodywork.

Listen in as I chat with Laura Munson about her journey of self-love through the written word, and how she discovered she actually is a writer. She reminds us that the path we are often often surprises us, and that we need to be the ones to see in ourselves what is already of value. We need to give ourselves permission to be who we are, have it be easy and enjoyable.
In our conversation, Laura recounts her journey of writing a best-selling book and all that led to that point. She tells us about why she writes and recites quotes of other writers who inspire her to continue. Get a taste of why community is such an essential part of the process for a developing writer, and maybe you will end up on one of her famous Haven Writing Retreats here in Montana!

Join me one Monday each month as I chat with Natha Campanella for a conversation about Ayurveda and Astrology!
NEW ON MONDAYS! Join Andrea and friends as they share 10-minute tidbits with you to start your week off with ease and joy. This week, Andrea speaks with Natha about Cancer Season and Pitta Dosha. How do you hit pause and nurture yourself? It’s time to take a second and make sure you are nourishing your body with cooler foods and lots of water, both inside and out.
3 Bullet Points:
Cancer, a water sign, is about home and family, with a motherly quality. Cancers are emotional secure and are selfless giver, but this can result in a ‘giving to get’ mentality. Pitta out of balance can have a hot temper or be very passionate, but can stay very focused. Strong Pitta energy learns quickly and remember things, and chase after adrenaline. It’s a tough task, but start asking for what you want.Show Highlights:
4:15 Natha explains Cancer and what the season can bring
7:50 Andrea talks Pitta- the combination of fire and water
11:15 Where do you go to collapse?
17:30 get introverted and prepare yourself for what’s to come. Where do you overextend?

“The more we know ourselves, the more self-loving we can be.” -- Natha Campanella
Meet Natha:
Extreme sensitivity to the emotions of other people prompted Natha Perkins Campanella to try and make sense of her own spiritual journey early in life. A natural student, she became fascinated with astrology when she realized how well it helped explain some of her most personal mysteries. She’s heard people say that “astronomy is a science but astrology is just an art…” (she begs to differ). Natha is a Master Life Coach, a writer and a professional Astrologer who uses a combination of astrology and intuitive guidance to help people understand themselves better, and THAT is definitely an art!
