Welcome to \u201cThe Emergent Human where we explore Optimizing Health, Embodied Spirituality and Post Conventional Living.\n\nOstrolenk speaks with Vicki Starr. Vicki devoted herself to her family and her career. She also participated in multiple physical challenges including marathons, six Ironman races, the Boston Marathon, Ultramarathon and SEALFIT's 20X. At 45 years old as an empty nester and not finding the depth of meaning in her physical challenges, she began a spiritual path of self-discovery. \n \nVicki chronicles the life experiences that led her to the path she\u2019s on now, including the loss of her father, understanding her own trauma versus generational trauma, and the power she found in breathwork. Through her work, Vicki seeks to serve women, tapping into what lights their souls on fire. Vicki is offering a Soul Journey Retreat in Costa Rica from November 11-16.
