Ep #150: Raising Emotionally Intelligent Kids Through Yoga and Inner Work with Andrea Wieser

Andrea Weiser, a former Swiss banker, shares her transformative journey from the corporate world to becoming an inner guidance coach in Bali and now Hong Kong. After dealing with Lyme disease and personal challenges, Andrea found yoga, which became a powerful tool in her healing and growth. Her story reveals how yoga and personal development helped her overcome physical and emotional struggles. She emphasizes how important it is to address the nervous system and create a sense of safety, something she felt her mother lacked during illness. Through yoga and holistic practices, Andrea developed a deeper understanding of herself, which she now shares with others through coaching, retreats, and upcoming courses.

Andrea reflects on how her personal yoga practice, rather than teaching, has influenced her life and relationships. She highlights the importance of balance, inner peace, and conscious parenting. With two children, she speaks about navigating different parenting styles, the challenges of helping her son manage emotions, and fostering open communication with her daughter. Her story illustrates the power of mindfulness, patience, and allowing children to develop their own identities. Ultimately, Andrea encourages self-awareness, personal growth, and using yoga as a tool to support oneself and others through life’s challenges.
