I know our entire audience isn't entrepreneurs, but for those who are, this episode is for you. As well, if you are genuinely curious how business, branding and start ups work, it's a great conversation to listen in on.
I met our guest, Arielle Loren in 2015 when she attended my Wild Soul Movement retreat in Costa Rica. Ever since I've really enjoyed watching her business and trajectory evolve and we dove into all the parts in this conversation.
We talked about integrating larger social issues into business, which is what she's been doing by focusing on the disparity between how funding gets allocated to the rest of the entrepreneur field vs what's available to early stage, women of color founders.
She explained the difference between different types of funding, what "bootstrap mentality" means, and how to leverage and build credit and gain access to certain circles.
We explored where people waste their money in the early stages of running a business, the psychology and process to sales, working remotely, AND the role self care, focus and perspective play in running a sustainable business.
I also loved hearing about her various ventures over the years, living abroad, and how she landed in Miami as her current home base.
This is a rich and layered conversation. Enjoy and share!

Today's guest Sara Bliss wrote a book where she interviewed more than 65 people about their big life transitions, specifically related to career changes. As someone who geeks out on life transitions, period, I was excited to dive in with her around what she discovered through all these conversations and experiences.
Her own big truth was around the leap she took in releasing this book from being behind the scenes for many years as a ghostwriter, to being on the front end of things with this endeavor.
During the interview, we talked about the many different aspects of change and transition. She shared why she isn't a fan of the advice to "follow your passion," but prefers to be really invested in it. Which also led us to the difference between a passion and a calling.
We also got into the impact these big changes and transitions had on people's relationships. I enjoyed this chat very much and hope you do, too.

Y'all, I'm so excited to introduce one of my new favorite people to you today, Her name is Trudi Lebrón and she's also half Puerto Rican - which is one of our connection points, though you'll see throughout the conversation there are many more than that.
Trudi's big truth was the idea that everyone has their own path, which sparked a short conversation around all the paths within our paths throughout life.
From there we got into the difference between things that are culturally insensitive and blatantly harmful and she gave context and examples for a lot of terms we hear - fragility, impact, intent, self centering, woke, microaggressions, ally, and accomplice to name most of them. She gave us some practical applications of equity and what theory looks like vs practice in your life and business.
She also dropped one of my favorite metaphors of all time - you'll have to listen to get the full thing, but it's about money mindset and unconscious bias.
This is one of those "listen more than once" type of episodes. Enjoy and share!

I met today's guest at a conference in 2018 about decentering whiteness in yoga and mindfulness spaces. She was a keynote speaker and hearing her story and experience not only moved me, but really helped to anchor in so much of what we've been learning and exploring about racism, oppression, and liberation here on the show over the last two years, so I was pumped when she agreed to come on.
Michelle Cassandra Johnson is a social justice activist, anti-racism trainer, author and yoga teacher. Her big truth was around needing to shed layers and let go to create space for different opportunities and energies.
In this conversation we talked specifically about creating liberatory spaces, decreasing suffering and doing things differently in western yoga environments. She walked us through how justice is possible if we really live into the principles of yoga, shared her perspective on oneness, holding things at the same time, why she prefers to say "safer" space than safe space, and the kinds of microaggressions that are common for black people in yoga classes.
We also talked about her book, Skill In Action, how she's delivering her work in the world currently and how repair actually happens.
This is a deep and thorough chat, enjoy and share, especially with your yoga friends!
