Emily Zaunbrecher S01 EPS 272

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Emily Zaunbrecher. I was born in Baton Rouge, LA. I “grew up” in several places, because my dad was a college football coach. Always a Cajun girl at heart, though. I got my first college degree from the University of Florida in Visual Arts and worked as a photographer for a little while. I later decided I wanted to return to school for nursing. I worked for 7 years in a Neuro/Trauma ICU. That was wild… honestly, I feel like it’s some of the toughest (/most rewarding) work out there, but I feel like it prepared me for ANYTHING. I once thought that nursing would be a lifetime career, and I will continue to maintain my license, but it became apparent after some time (in my soul, I think it was always apparent) that I was just not meant to work within “the system” forever. I started to learn yoga and then completed my yoga teacher training. I could then see the path to another way. As I was trying to figure out how to transition out of the hospital, I also became certified in a bodywork modality called Fascial Stretch Therapy and started on my fascia education. Eventually, circumstances aligned for me to be able to open my own yoga studio that also became sort of a private practice space for my expanding skill set. The space is called The Studieaux, calling back to my Louisiana roots. In this episode we discuss nursing, yoga, fasical stretch therapy, weightlifting, learning to let go and self-worth.
