Episode 18: Seeing Beauty Everywhere + Everything is Energy with Valerie Oula
“There is beauty everywhere, if we allow ourselves to see it.” — Valerie Oula
I can’t wait for you to LISTEN to this podcast with Valerie Oula. Pour yourself a cup of tea, that's exactly what we drank as we recorded this episode!
Valerie Oula is a KRI certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master Teacher and a practitioner of many energetic healing modalities. She is the founder of Modern Ritual NYC, a holistic lifestyle offering for mind, body and soul.
Our conversation starts with creating ease in the kitchen which is so incredibly important right now. We chat roasted veggies, one pot meals, and her love for sourdough bread.
Valerie and I go deep into trusting the universe, allowing things to happen verses pushing and doing, and talk about creating a meditation practice of paying attention to your surroundings vs the traditional idea of sitting down and being still.
There are so many gems and delicious quotes in this podcast like these ones:
“The fact that we show up and do our own work, know that that energy reverberates out.”
“If you are hustling and trying too hard, it’s not coming together for a reason.”
“That’s where the magic lies, in the simplicity of things.”
CHALLENGE: Valerie encourages you to find something beautiful even amidst the challenges in our world right now.
