Suraya Santos Interviews Me - The Truth Behind Mama Mudra

Loading player...
This one is different (and kinda scary!). Because for once, I’m not the one asking the questions.

Suraya steps in - as my friend, not just a host - and pulls me into a conversation I probably wouldn’t have had on my own.

And if I'm honest - some of these questions caught me off guard.
We talk about things I don’t usually say out loud:
- The “healthy habits” I actually think are overrated.
- The pressure of being seen as “the healthy one”.
- Moments where I’ve felt like I’m failing at everything.
- What I’ve had to unlearn about wellness, fitness and my body.
- And what this whole Mama Mudra journey really looks like behind the scenes.

This episode is less polished, less curated, and a lot more real.
Because if I’m asking you to rethink wellness… I have to be willing to do the same, publicly.

This episode also provides context for everything else I’m building.

If this episode made you feel something - message me. I read every single one, and I would love the feedback.

And if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, unsure about following or subscribing - I hope that this is your sign. Come a bit closer. This is what we’re building.
