Unplugging To Find Your True Self | FlowCast #37 with Irèni Stamou
In this fascinating conversation, we had the privilege to sit down to talk with Irèni Stamou, a professional dancer and choreographer who has taken what she learned from 15 years in the profession and translated it into an incredible career in wellness and bodywork. There's not a lot of banter or back and forth in this conversation because Irèni's story flows all on its own.
