My Soul Connection is a podcast where host Billie Kay Kavert shares her spiritual journey and invites soulful guests to explore purpose, healing, and alignment so listeners can see themselves—and life—through a deeper, more vibrant lens.
In this episode of My Soul Connection, Kay Kavert and guest Rosie Acosta explore the journey of self-discovery, resilience, and mindfulness through yoga and meditation—and the deeper life lessons that come with them. They reflect on Kay’s “Midlife Awakening,” when she transformed a rock-bottom moment into a life aligned with her authentic nature—one she now feels truly excited about.
Rosie opens up about her childhood influences and how they shaped her path, while Kay reflects on her own struggles with over productivity, self-worth, and transformation. Together they remind us that stillness can be found in many ways, resilience is built through challenges, and self-discovery requires both courage and compassion.
Key Takeaways
-Connection and support are essential during life’s challenges.
-Resilience is built by facing difficulties head-on.
-Yoga and meditation are interconnected practices of self-awareness.
-Stillness can be found through many practices, not just meditation.
-Childhood experiences shape the way we see ourselves and others.
-Healing doesn’t always require revisiting trauma—discernment matters.
-Chasing productivity can turn into a trap of always doing more, while pushing true fulfillment further out of reach.-Letting go of expectations—and becoming aware of the ones we place on ourselves and others—prevents the resentments they often create.
-Self-reflection and pausing are keys to breaking negative cycles.
