Episode Synopsis

Have you ever felt something is “off” in the coaching or wellness industry? In this episode, Ava unpacks the invisible pyramid shaping these spaces and why so many of us feel uneasy inside them.

A grounded, necessary conversation for anyone devoted to integrity, embodiment and real service.
