There’s a Zen Buddhist saying, “No matter how far you’ve gone down the wrong path, you can always turn back.” Tonight we talk about trusting inner guidance and the power of turning back if something doesn’t feel right.
I used to think of o had enough passion for my business that it was enough to build a successful studio. I was wrong. It takes similar skills to start a yoga studio as it does to start any other business. Fueling your business with only inspiration is a disaster waiting to happen!!
In this episode let’s chat about the value you provide to the world. Are you undervaluing it? If so, you may be doing your clients, and yourself a big disservice.
There’s inherent power in naming things. Tonight I ran into a woman named India.... the name I almost gave to my child. This episode tells the story of naming a child, or anything for that matter, and the qualities you ascribe to it.

This segment is a short 5 minute breathing practice you can use to help balance the hemispheres of the brain. Enjoy!
This whole idea of looking for validation on social media drives me crazy! What if we just got our sense of self worth from our own self evaluation instead of some random external validation on social media!
In this episode I share a two of my top take always from Success Resources America.
Talking with Joseph McClendon III today he reinforced the importance of celebration. If I’m honest, I think I beat myself up more than celebrate. What about you?
Sometimes when the wind is against you, it seems that no matter how hard you paddle, it seems like you aren’t moving. Or worse, getting pushed backwards. Obviously you could swap out any limiting belief with the word “wind”. The secret is to learn to lean in, savor, and stay the course!
I have a confession to make. I suffer from Shiny Object Syndrome. Especially when It comes with a compelling offer. Put it on sale and I’m hooked!
One of my teachers told me I had to be willing to “show up and suck before I could show up and shine.” That quote has stuck with me... and liberated me in so many ways! In today’s episode we talk about that tendency to avoid anything new that we could potentially “fail” at.

In this episode I share my experience at an Energetic Alignment Workshop with Dr Stanzie. Truly transformational!
We all have those days when we are ready to throw in the towel, walk away from it all and run off to a tropical island. However on the other side of that breakdown is usually a breakthrough if you can hold on long enough. Find your Tribe Of Five to rally and support you through the rough spots.
Whenever we think we “know” something about ourselves or another, we keep them fixed. No longer capable to changing or showing up in new ways. What if you could drop the labels and the expectations of how you “think” things should be and just got curious and explored from a place of wonder?
We all have limiting beliefs. Those nagging little thoughts that tell us we aren’t good enough, that we’re not experienced enough or that we’re too old, young, fat, or any other think you can fill in the blank. Today we chat about busting those limiting beliefs so you can live the life you were born to live... the life the world needs you to live. Time to saddle up and play big!
Some people think the room needs to be 150 degrees (kidding, sort of) in order for their yoga practice to “work”. I debunk that myth in this episode and share the true element that makes all the difference.

The patterns and thoughts we habitually have in our life create our reality. Where are you falling into the default, and where are you creating from a conscious place of intention? It takes the same amount of energy to focus on what you want or what you don’t want.
I’m usually game for any sort of mind-body practice or experience. Tonight my daughter and I went to Float. In this episode I recount our adventure. Take home message? Kids need de-stressing techniques as much as adults do!
After one too many glasses of wine I took my husband’s challenge and signed up for a half marathon. I hadn’t run more than 3 miles in the last 10 years, yet my pride, mixed with a bit of defiance, grabbed my credit card and signed up. Shoes the wrong size, a possible tornado and no preparation was not the running plan outlined in the running magazine!
Shortly after my husband and I were married, we found out I was pregnant. As expected, we were thrilled... then things took an unimaginable twist leaving us to make an impossible decision that would stretch our hearts in ways we never could expected.
Last night I was reminded of a situation I encountered last Summer. My new neighbor, who was 8 months pregnant, went into early labor. I had to put aside any discomfort and show up in a way is never expected.
The tour busses stopped in the middle of Kentucky for lunch. The available options were places I typically never go. I took a risk, went to Bob Evans and came to the realization that our thoughts about what we consume are as important as what we actually eat.
After 30+ years we decided its time to give our Stepdad a new title that better fits him and his role in our lives. I think we were holding off giving him a special role in our lives as a way to protect our relationship with our Dad, but in reality, we were just constructing our hearts. Where can you create new titles to expand the circle of your heart?
Joyful expectation, or future dread? Which do you choose?
Early in my career in drug development I worked on clinical trials for Alzheimer’s Disease. The drugs were mildly efficacious (that means they work) but they had nasty side effect profiles. When I heard the news this week about the drugs being pulled from the market, I began to wonder when we would take some of the less invasive options seriously.
