57: Reality, Karma and Money Dr. Robert Svoboda

Setting intentions in our businesses and lives is a very powerful concept, and it plays a big role in the way we bring things to fruition.

56: Intentions As a Practice

What does it mean to say YES to life and allow things to unfold? Today’s episode is a powerful one if you are looking to understand what it means to surrender. Our preferences shouldn’t guide us, but we should look to understand ourselves, our purpose, and our unfolding from a deeper space of connection to what is real and true. Join us to learn more!Holly Krepps is a certified yoga therapist and the co-owner of Circle Yoga Shala in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. She has trained and developed teachers at home and abroad for 22 years.

Holly understands yoga as an integrative system, which has provided her with unique opportunities. She works with athletes, private clients, and yoga teachers-in-training, and her focus is on discovering habitual patterns of behavior that interfere with the “flow state.” Her passion is helping others connect deeply with who they are-free from stories, emotions, beliefs, and the past. Show Highlights:How Holly’s journey to spiritual awareness and yoga took many detours along the wayHow alcoholism affected Holly’s life very early and led to a severe disconnectHow Catholicism affected Holly, prompted her to search for more, and eventually led her to yoga, meditation, and surrenderHow Holly met her husband, who is a yogi, chef, and drummerHow they built a thriving farm, retreat center, and yoga practice together because Holly learned to say YES to what kept showing upHow rescue horses came to live at the farm through miraculous circumstancesHow money karma, living a life of service, and trusting what’s happening are at work in Holly’s lifeHolly’s program, Unbridled Transformation, and how it has evolved as a merger of inquiry work, and working with horsesWhat it means to be open to “now” and find meaning in life’s roller-coaster rideHow Holly was drawn to work with me and why she’s glad she said YESHear Holly’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding practices, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something people might not know, what she’s reading and recommending, and what’s bringing her joy right now.Resources:Connect with Holly: www.circleyogashala.comHer Unbridled Transformation program: https://www.unbridledtransformation.com/Books mentioned: The Surrender Experiment by Michael A.

54: Using Your Intuition in Your Business

Selma Miriam

Noel Furie

Today’s episode is a special treat. We are discussing food, feminism, values, and love with two amazing women. I’m joined by the founders of Bloodroot, “A feminist restaurant and bookstore with a seasonal vegetarian menu.” Bloodroot is a unique space that celebrates diversity in feminist thought, food, and cultures from all over the world. It’s been called an “indispensable gathering spot for progressive women.” I was privileged to enjoy lunch there recently, and I am thrilled to share Bloodroot with you today. Selma Miriam and Noel Furie are the founders of Bloodroot, which has been serving its customers in Bridgeport, CT, for over 40 years. Selma and Noel are two of the original members of the lesbian collective which began in 1977 and has grown to include women from all over the world. It’s in a beautiful waterfront location that has become a sanctuary for feminist thought and radical political discourse over the years. Their restaurant is known for its vegetarian food that incorporates unique dishes and flavors from all parts of the world. Selma and Noel are very much pillars of the feminist movement, and their series of essays are featured in the book, Our Daily Lives Have to Be a Satisfaction in Themselves: 40 Years of Bloodroot. Show Highlights:Selma and Noel share highlights in their journey and the beginnings of BloodrootHow and why the early feminine movement rejected all male and female stereotypesHow Bloodroot became a place for “angry feminists” to find out who they were and exist outside the patriarchyHow they were very intentional in creating their space, even down to logistical details in the day-to-day running of a restaurantWhy Selma and Noel are committed to showcasing foods from around the world as a way of getting to know each other and different culturesWhy diversity is important under the feminist umbrella to respect all beliefs and culturesWhy Selma and Noel are happy to be “living their values” and working hard in connection to the earthHow our culture misinterprets sex and love–as opposed to the meaning of real loveWhat Selma and Noel think about today’s feminist movement and why they feel hopeful for the women of todayThoughts and advice from Selma and Noel about living in your purposeHow creativity and expression are manifested through every endeavor of Selma and NoelHear Selma and Noel answer rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, inspiring people, what they are reading/recommending, and what’s bringing them joy right now.Resources:Find out more about Bloodroot: www.bloodroot.com Books mentioned by Selma and Noel:  Beasts Before Us by Elsa PanciroliMary Daly booksAndrea Dworkin booksConnect with me:Are you an online business owner?

Kate Schutt

Kate Schutt is an award-winning singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer whose voice NPR calls “glassily clear and glossily sweet.” Her songs have won top honors from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and ASCAP. American Songwriter calls Kate’s newest album, Bright Nowhere, illuminating and “the work that ought to bring her the wider recognition she so decidedly deserves.” Kate has shared stages with Terri Lyne Carrington, Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Scott Colley, and Bernard Perdie, to name only a few. When not making music, Kate is an elite life coach who specializes in helping people navigate big, pivotal, powerful moments, like being ready to die, creating new careers, starting new businesses, and chasing gold medals.

Eddie Stern

We’ve seen huge growth in the popularity of yoga in recent years, and people turn to yoga for many different reasons. Today’s show brings interesting insights and perspectives from a longtime expert in the field. Join us for this beautiful conversation.Eddie Stern is a yogi, author, and lecturer from NYC. He has studied yoga since 1987 and runs the Broome Street Ganesha Temple in Soho. His latest book, One Simple Thing: A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How It Can TransformYour Life, examines a decade’s worth of study on the correlations between the yogic and western views of the nervous system. The book gives an in-depth look at the underlying scientific mechanisms that make yoga work. This is an enlightening conversation about breath and its importance to yoga, the cool story of the founding of the Ganesha Temple, and Eddie’s surprising views about yoga in the US today. The beautiful Broome Street Ganesha Temple is the site of our interview, which unfortunately ended abruptly with technical difficulties. You’ll miss some of Eddie’s answers to my rapid-fire questions, especially about the books he’s reading, but we’ve included two of his recommendations in our Resources section. Show Highlights:Why the Broome Street Ganesha Temple is a labor of love that has taken several years to become “a beautiful sanctuary in the middle of the city”Eddie’s journey to yoga, which began around age 19-20 and became the most important part of his lifeWhy the science of yoga intrigues and fascinates EddieHow the science of breath ties into yoga and has become a prominent subject in recent yearsHow breathing and other autonomic functions help restore and maintain balance in our bodiesWhy the yogic tradition teaches that we should measure our lives in breathsWhy we should apply the idea of expansiveness to our sense of time and allow breathing to slow down the speed of our mindsWhy most yoga practices are only surface level, where people attempt to live more conscious livesHow yoga is greatly misrepresented in the westWhy Eddie wrote his book, One Simple ThingEddie’s thoughts about gurus, the guru tradition, and the correlation to yogaWhy the guru tradition probably won’t work in America because of our hedonistic attitudesThe connection between activism, social justice, and effecting change in yoga practiceHow Eddie views his relationship with social media and his advice about using social mediaWhat it means to Eddie to live in his purposeHear Eddie’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, an inspiring person, and his morning routineResources:Connect with Eddie:  www.eddiestern.com, Broome Street Ganesh, and InstagramOne Simple Thing: A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How It Can Transform Your Life, by Eddie SternAlso mentioned in this episode:Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramahansa YoganandaBe Here Now, by Ram DassConnect with me:Join me for my FREE Aligned AF Visibility Challenge starting soon!Are you an online business owner?
