In this episode, we sit down with Taylor Lyons, owner of Kelta Wellness Center, a space dedicated to cutting-edge wellness technology, including sensory deprivation tanks, meditation beds, sauna therapy, and cold plunges. Taylor shares her journey from being a school teacher to a certified yoga instructor and entrepreneur, detailing what led her to create a space where people can disconnect from overstimulation and focus on introspective self-care.We dive deep into the science and experience of sensory deprivation floating, discussing how it resets the mind and body, improves mental clarity, and fosters deep relaxation. Taylor explains how her own experience with anxiety and stress led her to explore wellness practices, from retreats and life coaching to therapy and intimacy counseling.Beyond wellness, we explore the raw realities of motherhood, including the stress of pregnancy, postpartum struggles, "mom brain," and the identity shifts that come with raising a child. Taylor introduces us to the "Flamingo Theory of Motherhood", a powerful metaphor for regaining your sense of self while balancing the chaos of parenting.Check out Taylor & Kelta on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itstaylorbree/https://www.instagram.com/kelta.life/Visit Kelta's website to book a self care service: www.kelta.life3:00 Kelta is a space with wellness technology to provide patrons with introspective self care6:20 the quiet and zen atmosphere at kelta for sauna, cold plunge, meditation bed, and sensory deprivation tanks7:00 in depth explanation on the comfort experience of the meditation bed 13:00 sensory deprivation floating benefits, Joe Rogan, and Stranger Things14:30 Taylor’s personal connection and experience with sensory deprivation tanks and bringing it to Beacon19:00 using sensory deprivation to reset in today’s world of constant overstimulation23:00 Taylor’s trip to Costa Rica and her journey from school teacher to certified yoga instructor 28:00 how Taylor’s anxiety as a child led to her personal development journey 34:00 prioritizing spending money on valuable experiences like courses, life coaching and travel39:00 Spending money on your wellness is priceless, if your body is broken, you need to take care of it41:00 the journey to motherhood, building a family and business simultaneously 45:00 Taylor’s “pedal to the medal” pregnancy and the stress and anxiety she went through52:00 post partum struggles of rediscovering your identity after having a child55:00 the challenge of “mom brain” and learning to ask for help 59:00 even something as simple as walking your dog becomes a difficult process when you have a baby1:01:00 “the flamingo theory of motherhood” and how Taylor is getting her pink back1:07:00 the value of flexibility in your life as parenthood brings chaos and change1:09:30 being able to laugh at yourself and not take yourself so seriously1:12:30 regaining your childhood innocence and desire for fun as you mature1:15:00 “I don’t wanna be the mom that says no, I’m gonna do the thing”Join our exclusive community on GROUPED where you can find uncut episodes, messaging with your hosts, and early access to promotionshttps://app.grouped.com/whothoughtwedbeherepodJoin Whoop with our promotional code and get your first month free!https://join.whoop.com/us/en/Whothoughtwedbeherepod/Sign up for online therapy with our referral link.Get 20% off your first month with our podcast's link:Shout out to our favorite neighborhood screen printer JOKER INK  https://www.jokerink.com/NEW EPISODES WEEKLY!"Who Thought We'd Be Here?" is hosted by Steven Aigner and John Pugh. https://linktr.ee/whothoughtwedbeherepodPlease Like, Follow, Share, and Enjoy!!!
