Ep 45. You can be high or you can be happy, with Cole Chance

In this week’s episode I’m sitting down with Cole Chance, an American yoga teacher who now calls Australia home. Cole has been a seeker all her life. This journey has taken her to the depths of addiction, all around the world and now onto the path of yoga and recovery.

As a trauma-informed yoga teacher with over nine years sobriety, Cole shares a wealth of experience and wisdom.

In this conversation we talk about:

• Wearing a crown and a smile to rehab – 7:00
• Life as a seeker – 15:00
• Discovering the golden ticket – 20:00
• Trauma and shame – 22:50
• The blurry bottom – 30:00
• The turning point – 40:00
• Yoga and spirituality – 45:00
• Compassionate Inquiry – 49:50
