   The Importance of Representation

   Join me and my guest Pey Carter: advocate, author, and public speaker specializing in mental health, invisible disabilities, and trauma as we discuss the importance of representation and inclusion.  She uses her passion for storytelling and narrative justice to raise awareness and foster deeper discussions.  This passion is inspired by  a lifetime of dealing with discrimination and overcoming trauma and managing multiple chronic illnesses.  Her journey to shape a more accepting world for our kids led her to write a children’s book about Ehlers Danlos called with her daughter. Bendy Bones and Stretchy Skin: An Ehlers-Danlos Book Books like this are  a true representation that the right resources make all the difference in helping our kids grow up unafraid, undeterred, and utterly confident in their right to be loved and belong. https://www.peycarter.com/ (https://www.peycarter.com/) WAYS TO HELP CAFFEINATE & ADVOCATE If you enjoy the show then please subscribe and leave a review.  Please share to help reach others in the community that might benefit from the stories and resources shared.

   Yoga for EveryBODY!

   Welcome to today's exciting episode with the enthusiastic Kristen Batzner. Where we will talk about the importance of advocating for yourself and knowing your own body thru yoga.

Kris has created several yoga based communities both in person and online. In the last several years she has pivoted her offerings to become more personalized and to take full advantage of the virtual communities being created. Her current business, Central Michigan Kundalini focuses on helping people trust their intuition and live an aligned life to their fullest potential. She LOVES to give individualized focus and attention to each person present and am FILLED UP by helping others trust their intuition and express their fullest potential! Somethings to know about Kris: 1. Kris believes that Yoga is for everyBODY. You are never too old, stiff, differently-abled, or anything else to try yoga. EveryBODY can receive the benefit of a yoga practice. That's one of my main missions on this Earth. 2. She creates community. She loves to bring people together and adores connecting to people that are different from me. Her belief is that we are stronger together and that we can always learn from each other. Kris is at her happiest in a group of people getting to know each other. 3.
