Ep 31: Slowing Down to Experience More Joy with Veronique Ory

French Kissing Life

Ever wonder if slowing down could actually speed up your journey to joy? Veronique Ory joins me in this episode to share how embracing stillness transformed her career and outlook, proving that sometimes, less really is more. As a yoga instructor and storyteller, she traded the frenetic pace of New York's theater scene for a more mindful life in sunny Florida. From her grandfather's captivating tales to her own yoga-inspired book, this is a delightful reminder that life's sweetest moments often happen when we simply press pause. Get ready for a conversation that's as invigorating as a beachside yoga session in sunny Florida!
Topics covered:

• Veronique's journey from being a "starving artist" in New York City to moving to Florida and focusing on yoga.
• Importance of slowing down and finding joy in simple moments.
• The power of storytelling in creating human connections.
• The importance of thriving rather than just surviving.
• Finding ways to break out of limiting beliefs and old patterns.
• The benefits of movement, both physical and mental/emotional, in processing experiences.

Here are some actions you can take whether you have 5 minutes or 50:
