This week on the podcast, I am joined by Uma Girish. Uma guides spiritually-minded women who are grieving from loss and helps them cope and hold space for grief. The work she does includes the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, illnesses, empty nest, the loss of a dream, and more. 

On this episode, Uma and I talk about the importance of giving yourself space when you are grieving a loss, and how to give yourself that space when you teach yoga or own your own business. As a contractor or self-employed individual, it is so hard to take time off, but when we are grieving, we need to give ourselves time and space to heal. 

Uma also shares tips for how we can hold space for students that might be grieving and more. 

Enjoy!

We also talk about Megan's business, including her 50-hour YTT that she runs on the Gods of Yoga, what digital nomad life is like, how to make our offerings more financially sustainable without making them free, and more.

This week on the podcast I am joined by Stacy Dockins. Stacy is a yoga teacher, studio owner, retreat leader, and the author of Embodied Posture. 

Stacy has always been fascinated by the science behind musculoskeletal functionality and physical and mental wellness. She has dedicated over 25 years of her life to studying the human body and teaching yoga and now leads wellness retreats in Texas, Thailand, Bali, and Costa Rica, with her husband, Dave.

Stacy recently developed her first book, Embodied Posture, which empowers readers to align yoga postures to best suit one’s uniqueness. This innovative approach shows teachers and students how to critically approach postural alignment, lending practical information that can be applied immediately to the mat.

In addition to co-owning Yoga Project studios with her husband, Stacy also continues to educate others in mindfulness-based meditation, breath work, and self-inquiry through courses taught on edx.org.

On this episode of the podcast, Stacy shares how she has developed a thriving yoga business, tips for leading successful retreats, the process of writing a book, as well as business lessons she's learned throughout her career.

This week on the podcast I am very excited to be joined by Veronica Thai from the Curious Monki podcast. Veronica is not only a fellow podcast host, but also a fellow yoga teacher and Albertan! Veronica and I met a few years ago and have had the pleasure of spending time together in person, as well as doing some Desire Map coaching together.
 
One of the things that inspires me the most about Veronica and her business is that she does everything from a feeling perspective, rather than a thinking perspective. On this episode, we talk about her journey as a yoga teacher, starting a podcast, overcoming imposter syndrome, and how she came to run a heart centered business. Of course, she also shares business lessons that she learned along the way! 

Enjoy!

This week on the podcast I am joined by Kaya Mindlin. Kaya has been teaching yoga for 18 years, and on this episode she shares how she created a small, but mighty and successful, yoga business.

There is so much pressure these days to build your list, do ads on social media, teach anything and everything that you are given the opportunity to do, serve everyone, give away freebies and hope that some day someone will engage with you. And this has it's place... but it's not a fit for every yoga teacher.

In Kaya's business, she dug a well with a small but incredibly committed number of yoga teachers, and she's had a successful private practice of yoga therapy clients and students, yoga teachers who train with her, and a yoga studio in the Bay Area. She was the main breadwinner in her family for a chunk of those years, and on this episode she's sharing how she did and how you can too!

Kaya also shares why and how she transferred her business online, what that process has taught her, and some of the biggest business lessons she's learned through her career.

Enjoy!

Are you a studio owner that’s working 16-18 hour days but still struggling to grow? OR Are you a well established studio with healthy monthly revenue, but membership growth has plateaued?

If either of these sound like you, I've got the perfect solution... Most studio owners get marketing all WRONG!!

Tell me if this sounds familiar, you're writing blogs, posting daily on all the social media sites, sending out email newsletters, blah blah blah…

While these activities might get you a new member or two EVENTUALLY, it will take months or even years before they payoff.

You need new members today…

Starting in July, Ron Medlin owner of the Rebel of Growth, an agency that focuses specifically on helping yoga studios grow memberships, Is hosting the 30 Members In 30 Days Challenge where he'll show you How to Add 30 New members to your studio in the next 30 Days.

You’ll leave this challenge having everything you need to drive people through your doors and turn them into long-term members starting day one.

So if you're ready to STOP WORKING YOURSELF to death doing busy work that will not grow your studio and start bringing new students in your door starting today. Join the challenge at www.rebelofgrowth.com/challenge.

This week on the podcast I am joined by Brit Kolo from Marketing Personalities. After spending years working as a marketing coach, Brit created her own business where she studied the 16 Myers-Briggs (MBTI) personality types and determined what the best marketing strategy is for each of them.

On this episode, Brit and I talk about Marketing Personalities, including why this important, how we can use our individual marketing personality to our benefit in our businesses, and how to start saying "no" to the things we think we should be doing in our businesses but aren't serving us. Brit also goes through my MBTI personality type - ENJF - and gives some examples of the type of marketing that ENFJ's (like me!) should be doing in their businesses.

This was a really eye opening episode for me, and since implementing the strategies of my marketing personality into my business, I've seen a ton of shifts away from the things I think I should be doing and towards the marketing strategies that excite and light me up most.

Enjoy!
