In Your Space, Episode 1: Joanna Brooks of Embody Yoga

Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/647623/fan...) What does it take to create a space where people can truly feel seen, supported, and embodied? In the premiere episode of the In Your Space series, I sit down with Joanna Brooks, founder and owner of Embody Yoga, a Black-owned and operated yoga and Pilates studio in Milwaukee. Joanna shares her inspiring journey from working as a legal assistant in the traditional 9-to-5 world to building a thriving wellness business rooted in community, healing, and self-discovery. What began as a personal search for something more started with a hot yoga class she almost never returned to after a difficult first experience. Instead of letting discomfort defeat her, she chose to try again—and that decision sparked a passion that would ultimately change the course of her life. Together, we explore the challenges, setbacks, risks, and moments of perseverance that shaped Embody Yoga into the flourishing space it is today. Joanna offers an honest look at entrepreneurship, trusting your intuition, and creating opportunities when none seem to exist. This conversation is a powerful reminder that sometimes the spaces we're called to create begin with the courage to show up for ourselves first. In Your Space is a series highlighting the people, stories, and journeys behind the spaces that shape our communities—exploring how vision, purpose, and persistence transform ideas into places of impact. 🎙️ Listen in for a conversation about resilience, reinvention, entrepreneurship, and the power of finding your path—even when it starts outside your comfort zone.
