Romanticize Your Life: The Practice of Being Present
Tue Feb 03 2026
This week, we’re redefining what yoga actually is — and spoiler: it’s not about being bendy, performing perfect poses, or comparing yourself to the girl in the front row.
Nicole is joined by Veronique Ory, yoga teacher and retreat leader, for a conversation that feels like a deep exhale. We talk about the real work: the mindset shift that happens when you stop chasing the next milestone and start building a life that feels calm, grounded, and aligned right now.
Veronique breaks down how the practice follows you everywhere — into your relationships, your routines, your home, your closet, your nervous system, and the way you move through grief, stress, and busyness. If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, on autopilot, or like you’re constantly reaching for “more,” this episode is your reminder that your life can be softer without being smaller.
You’ll leave with practical ways to identify how you actually want to feel, how to disrupt default habits (hello, scrolling), and how to resource yourself before you give your energy to anyone else.
Because the goal isn’t to be perfect.It’s to be present.
