Returning Champions with Leah Garza and Dana Balicki - a podcast by Kyley Caldwell, Eva Liao

To continue our 100th episode celebratio, we had two returning guests—BFFs themselves —to get metaphysical and theoretical with us. 
 

Both Leah and Dana have a way of breaking your brain in the best possible way. Every time you walk away from a conversation with them you see something that you didn’t know you don’t know!

Some things we discussed:
 

• The potency of Not Knowing and how to let go  
• Happiness as a social construct 
• what it means (and why it matters) to make nothing right or wrong.
• Ontology: wtf is it? 
• Suffering and and how it exists as an attempting to meet an unmet need

 

Dana is a transformational coach, teacher, and guide here to help ever-evolving souls remember the truth of who we really are, not just who we are taught to be. 

She spent over a decade as a radical grassroots activist and organizer and burnout lead her to her own inner work, and to ultimately evolve her activism into guided personal transformation as the key to our compassionate, collective becoming. 

Her practical magic approach to growth is channeled through what she affectionately refers to as slowdown medicine - to help us see how we truly belong to each other.
