Unlock Your Highest Self w/ Coach Masha Kay

Eli dives into the world of overachievers, perfectionists, and people pleasers, welcoming Masha Kay, a nervous system and breathwork coach, as his guest. Masha shares her personal journey from being an actuarial scientist, driven by the need to overachieve, to embracing a path of wellness coaching. She discusses how a life-changing car accident and the realization that her career was unfulfilling led her to reevaluate her life and transition into helping others bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Throughout the episode, Masha emphasizes the importance of understanding the nervous system, healing trauma, and developing a more compassionate approach to personal growth and relationships.   Unlock early releases, exclusive content, and the chance to ask Eli questions for potential on-air answers by joining our Patreon community! https://www.patreon.com/selfhype Want To Work With Eli And Join His Community?
