December 2022 Newsletter
The first newsletter in December of 2022 from Megan, host of the My Yoga Audio podcast and show.
Dear friends, it's Megan here and I hope you're feeling curious and truly delighted to receive this email. My intention is to share monthly updates along with wellness and creative news you will find valuable and uplifting. I started working on this newsletter over a month ago, and then came down with the dreaded COVID-19 after dinner in a restaurant with friends. I won't lie, it flattened me for about a week and I'm still recovering. Somehow, I thought I was going to get through this time without catching it, and I was sorely mistaken! However, the worst of it is over and it truly lifts me up to share good and interesting news, and I hope you feel the same upon receiving this. Please feel free to respond directly anytime, and if you don't want to receive this letter, you can unsubscribe at the bottom. (No hard feelings) :)
To read the full, original and interactive newsletter, discover it on FloDesk.
In Episode 53 meet Jesse Bliss, an author, activist, artist and mom who embraces Transformation as a Way of Life.

Episode 53
I'm really excited to be finishing up season three of the podcast! What began in the summer of 2020 as a response to what I needed for yoga practice during lockdown has turned into one of the greatest joys of serving and promoting others in my life. With over 50 episodes and dozens of phenomenal guests, I consider it an incredible privilege to do this work. I was delighted to learn from Spotify that MYA is in the global top 30% of podcasts, wow! Interviews continue to have the most listens and positive feedback, but I do record classes and meditations too. I want to extend a special thank you to all who listen, and all who have been guests and supporters of the show. I welcome your feedback on what you enjoy most, email me anytime at myyogaaudio@gmail.com.
Whenever guests are good with it, I record and post the audio and video! Episode 52 with Gricelda Garcia Ocegueda was and continues to be a listener and watcher favorite.

I took the plunge and brought MYA to TikTok (what?!). Yes, it was a definite deep dive, and I still don't know what I'm doing. But people are loving it over there, so I'm running with it! Join me if you're on the platform, and if you have any tips - please let me know!

Passing: A Guest Appearance on “Pop Culture Makes Me Jealous”
Interview and conversation between Megan Morgan and Julia Washington on the show: Pop Culture Makes Me Jealous about the Nella Larsen 1929 Harlem Renaissance Novel, Passing - and the 2021 Netflix movie adaptation directed by Rebecca Hall.
This past week I was overwhelmed with gratitude and joy to be able to be interviewed and in conversation with Julia Washington, the host of “Pop Culture Makes Me Jealous” about the book and new Netflix adaption of Nella Larsen’s Harlem Renaissance Novel: Passing.
Passing formed a huge part of my thesis while completing my MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute and impacted my own personal life in a big, big way. Connecting with Julia and finding we mutually had just as much interest and excitement in this writing (which is still so relevant today) is an amazing feeling.
I created a set of artworks based on this book that are now in the Wedge Collection of Dr. Kenneth Montague in Toronto, and was blown away and honored when artist, professor and writer, Deborah Willis wrote about these pieces in the journal: The Image of the Black in Western Art, edited by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and David Bindman in 2014.
I’d be so honored if you gave this episode a listen. It’s nearly as long as the movie itself, clocking in at 103 minutes, but worth the listen in my (humble’ish) opinion. Available here on Apple Podcasts, but it is also available on all streaming platforms and wherever you listen to podcasts. Thank you Julia Washington for this amazing experience!
