Listen "Etienne Maurice on Mindfulness, Shavasana & Community Healing with WalkGood LA"

Episode Synopsis

In this grounding conversation, host NeAndre Broussard—founder and CEO of Black Menswear—sits down with creator and community-builder Etienne Maurice to unpack how mindfulness, breathwork, and movement can turn pain into purpose. From a park meet-up to a full-fledged creative wellness studio, Etienne shares the origin of WalkGood LA and the mission to make healing equitable and accessible for our people.

Together we explore:

 ✨ “Consistency is the currency of credibility”—showing up to silence imposter syndrome

✨ The nightly reset: why Shavasana (corpse pose) might be the most important part of your day

✨ Breathwork + yoga as culture-rooted mental health tools you can start now

✨ Turning trauma into service: gun-violence survival, psychiatric recovery, and 13 years sober

✨ Creative wellness that heals: Breathe Good, Laugh Good, Film Good, Hike Good, Run Good

✨ You Good—a men’s circle for breath, sound, and real conversation

✨ Listening to your body: rest, treatment, and recovering from pain without losing momentum

✨ How partnerships + purpose scaled a studio into a movement

If you’ve been searching for your people, a practice, or a place to finally be still and breathe, this episode is a blueprint. Come for practical tools; leave with a community-centered vision of healing.

📌 Try the end-of-day Shavasana tonight—then share this with someone who needs a reset.
