Bonus Episode - Adrianne Vangool

If you ever get a chance to talk with Adrianne Vangool, take it. Jump at the opportunity to talk with her because you will find yourself talking with someone who is wonderfully honest and I think truly wise about the world around her. She comes by her wisdom through hard work, curiosity and reflection and its reflected in her debut book, 'The Journey of Self-Care to We-Care.'

Adrianne is a physiotherapist and owns her own business, Vangool Wellness. She is also a fantastic yoga instructor who incorporates yoga into her physiotherapy practice, and she explains the many benefits of yoga for a person's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health in her book. 

She also shares her own personal story in her book. I really admire Adrianne's honesty in sharing some of the struggles she has experienced in her life. I think it shows a great deal of bravery and it's something we talk a lot about in this conversation. 

We also talk about Adrianne's creative side as well. As you'll discover in her book, Adrianne loves writing poetry and she writes some beautiful poems that connect with different themes. I think the poems give the reader a better sense of who Adrianne is as a person and why writing this book was so meaningful to her.

Adrianne was kind enough to ask if she could be featured on the podcast to help promote the book. Of course I said because, well, just read the first paragraph of these show notes! We met at Vangool Wellness and sat crosslegged in her yoga studio to talk about the many themes in her debut book. I am very grateful to Adrianne for the opportunity to interview her and I am so excited for her book to launch in January of 2023.

Speaking of book launches, Adrianne is having a book launch on January 22nd at Ivy Yoga House from 1-3pm. The amazing Lisa Grieg is hosting the event and will be asking Adrianne questions about the book. The book launch is free to attend but you do have to register online. 

Thank you so much for listening to this special bonus episode of YXE Underground! I hope you enjoy our conversation and be sure to buy Adrianne's book. You will love it!
