The Myth of Arriving – Living Yoga in Real Life - Episode 14
In this episode of Becoming Her, Jeanetta Bodie unpacks the myth of “arriving” and how Living Yoga offers a path to presence, not perfection. She shares her personal story, introduces Gypsy Moon Wellness, and invites listeners into a new rhythm of embodied leadership.
Episode Summary
In this raw and reflective solo episode, Jeanetta opens up about the myth of “arriving”—that elusive finish line we all chase in hopes of finally being enough. She shares how this mindset has shaped her personal and professional life, leading to overcommitment, burnout, and self-doubt. Through storytelling and lived experience, Jeanetta explores how Living Yoga is not about adding more to our plates, but about shifting how we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
She also introduces the vision, mission, and core values behind Gypsy Moon Wellness, the second business she co-founded with Steph Woods, which blends wellness education with sustainable business growth. If you’ve ever struggled with “not enough” stories or felt stuck in hustle culture, this episode offers a breath of fresh air and a new framework rooted in rest, rhythm, and embodied leadership.
