The Aya Way™ Podcast | Episode 3: Returning to the Root

In this episode of The Aya Way Podcast, we journey back to the foundation of who we are—our roots. Together, we explore what it means to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the values and practices that ground us. Healing is not about rushing forward but remembering where we come from and reclaiming what nourishes us.

✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why “returning to the root” is essential for resilience

• Practical ways to ground yourself in daily life

• Reflections from Rooted in Resilience: A Journey Toward Collective Healing

• A guided moment to pause and realign with your center
