There’s something powerful about embracing vulnerability and finding balance in our lives, especially as women. In this episode, I sit down with Tessa Arnold, Co-Founder of Snapback Energy and Founder of Balance of You, about how holistic wellness can transform the way we show up in the world.

Tessa shares her journey from a successful banking career to embracing Ayurveda and wellness practices that promote true balance and resilience. We talk about the importance of feeling our emotions fully, carving out time for self-care, and how to navigate life’s challenges with strength and grace. Tune in to discover how to tap into your inner power and build the resilience you need to thrive. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it!

“We need to disassociate resilience with the idea that it’s masking and being strong…resiliency is strength, but it’s strength in sitting with whatever wave of emotion is crashing.” ~ Tessa Arnold
