The Holistic Hippie Podcast
With chronic disease and mental health conditions on the rise, more and more people are looking to holistic health practices to combat the negative impacts of living in the modern world. The host of this show is Jessi, aka The Holistic Hippie, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist & Lifestyle Coach, Yoga Teacher & Teacher Trainer, Reiki Practitioner, Past-Life Regressionist, and Student of Core Shamanism and Ceremonial Plant-Medicine. Most importantly - she's human. Jessi spent over 10 years struggling with her physical and mental health which is what has inspired her to pursue a career in wellness and why she is so deeply passionate about inspiring others to transform their own health & well-being. This is definitely not your average Health & Wellness podcast. Jessi is obsessed with spiritual growth and transformation and she created this show as a catalyst for collective change; a way for us to "do the work" together and to connect in a conscious community. Every week she delves into a new topic which she explores through the lens of holistic living, sharing openly and honestly from her own experiences. She prides herself on being real and sharing the things that most people won't in order to bring to light the fact that none of us are alone on this journey. If you are ready to take responsibility for your physical, mental, and spiritual health and move from surviving to truly thriving in this life, this is the podcast for you!

Episode 20 - The 5 Obstacles on The Spiritual Path
According to Yoga Philosophy, there are 5 main obstacles, or kleshas, on the spiritual path. These serve as an amazing framework for our own personal journey through life and seem just as relevant now as they were thousands of years ago. In this episode, Jessi goes over the 5 kleshas, describing them and sharing personal stories that help to demonstrate how they may be at play in our own lives.
It is important to understand that Yoga is not a religion, it is a philosophy and a mental science that describes practices for self-realization. Many of these ancient practices are so relevant to the present day and can be useful tools to help us understand and navigate the challenging times we are facing.

Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
