Walking Dharma focuses on helping you live your best life. This podcast dives into a wide variety of yogic and tantric texts with a non-dogmatic, courageous attitude. We candidly break down the central concepts within them to make them as digestible and delicious as possible in application to modern day living. Topics covered range from activating intention and the power of manifestation, awakening inner strength, emotional freedom, and spiritual awakening through the power of being here now. Your host, Kristen Coyle is a yoga teacher, writer, therapeutic bodyworker and energy healer. She integrates all that she has learned into her teachings and continues to seek deeper awareness, overflowing kindness, and adventure in all she does.
Speaking our truth is integral in healing ancestral trauma and allows us to cultivate the ability to express what we feel within our hearts and intuion. This episode explores how to effectively use your voice through the lense of yogic philosophy. We explore how to balance ahimsa, non-violence, and satya, truthfulness so we may speak our truth in a way that we are heard and feel empowered to be honest and in alignment with our integrity. We also explore how to balance viveka, discernment and vairagya, unattachment so we may say what we mean and mean what we say.
Yoga Sutra 2:35 and 2:36 guide our inquiry:
"In the presence of one established in non-violence all hostilities cease to exist." 2:35
&
"To one established in truthfulness, actions and their results become subservient." 2:36
Kristen shares a personal account of what inspired this episode and we dive into how to speak up and have hard conversations.

Episode 34: Do It Anyway: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
This week's podcast is called,"Do It Anyway: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome."
Imposter syndrome comes from trying to mold yourself after someone else's vision, ideals, standards and definitions of what you should do, act like, look like, express and create.
It often arises when we put ourselves out there with our work, our creative energy and our self expression. Imposter syndrome is what holds many of us back from doing our work/expressing whole heartedly as we fear rejection and failure. To overcome it we must understand where it comes from, how to identify it when it is arising and then navigate the art of doing what we want to do anyways, regardless of our fear and deep seeded lack of self worth.
This episode features philosophy from the Bhagavad Gita and Buddhism. We use sloka 2:47 and 2:48 from the Gita as guiding principles in unpacking how to overcome imposter syndrome:
"To work alone you are entitled, never to it's fruit. Neither let your motive be the fruit of action, nor let your attachment be to non-action."
"Being established in yoga, perform your action, casting off attachment and remaining even-minded both in success and failure. This evenness is called yoga."
We also unpack the three types of laziness as taught by Pema Chodron. They are- comfort orientation, loss of heart and couldn't care less.
