Born to Polish parents in Detroit, Maja Wampuszyc made the move to New York to pursue acting with $500 in her pocket and a push from Uta Hagen herself. Now an actor and a yoga instructor, she talks about navigating the pros and cons of being an outsider, comments from clients at yoga studios, the commercialization of yoga, healing alone during the pandemic, and how witnessing her father’s passing changed how she viewed her own body and it’s purpose. In today's episode Maja guides us through the evolution of her body dysmorphia and how she’s finally decided to make friends with it. CW: eating disorders.
