In this episode, I sit down with Rianne Wolswinkel—Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Yoga Therapist, and regenerative land project steward living in a van in southern Spain.
We talk about:
Navigating chronic kidney disease through Ayurveda
Learning to feel instead of just analyze
Why routine, cooked food, and boundaries are non-negotiables
Living cyclically with nature and your body
What she's learned from anxiety, burnout, and healing
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your health or disconnected from your body, this episode is for you.
