Episode 9: Trust Your Truth with Shannon Algeo
Welcome to the Radiant REST Podcast your source for all things yoga nidra, rest, sleep, and dreams. I am your host, Tracee Stanley and I believe that the unique practice of Yoga Nidra offered to us by the ancient sages, is the healing salve for our times. I am excited to share my love of all practices that lead to deep rest and all of the treasures that come from being rested. My new book Radiant REST: Yoga Nidra for Deep Relaxation and Awakened Clarity is available now!
About the Episode
In this episode of the Radiant Rest Podcast, Tracee Stanley sits down with writer, teacher, and speaker Shannon Algeo. They discuss his highly anticipated upcoming book Trust Your Truth on how to reclaim your power and confidence, as well as tools to develop a deeper sense of self-worth. As inspiration and a catalyst for the book, Shannon speaks to the ways bullying has shaped his abilities to set firm boundaries and commit to a practice.
Shannon shares his liberation and insight alongside his experiences of profound heartbreak and his own dark night of the soul. Additionally, they cover the ways in which a resistance to sitting down to a practice, and a recommitment to that practice, can lead to new self-understanding and forgiveness.
