Beyond Yoga Chief Marketing Officer Katie Babineau joins The Current Podcast on the ground at SXSW in honor of International Women's Day and Women's History Month.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Ilyse Liffreing (00:00):I'm Kat Vesce. And I'm Ilyse Liffreing and welcome to this edition of The Current Podcast. In honor of International Women's Day and Women's Month, we're highlighting exceptional women of advertising at this year's South by Southwest.Kat Vesce (00:18):For this episode, we're thrilled to be joined by Katie Bau, the chief marketing Officer of Beyond Yoga, a brand that's redefining activewear with inclusivity, comfort, and community at its core.Ilyse Liffreing (00:28):That's right, Beyond yoga has been making waves in the industry, not just as a female founded brand, but as one that's rapidly expanding with a devoted customer base and a strong sense of purpose.Kat Vesce (00:39):Katie is approaching her one year anniversary as CMO and she's already led some game changing campaigns like Club Beyond a Full Funnel experiential activation in New York City that brought the brand to life in a whole new way.Ilyse Liffreing (00:51):We'll dive into that campaign and what's next for Beyond Yoga, including its approach to retail, men's expansion and content strategy, as well as Katie's journey as a woman in marketing.Kat Vesce (01:03):Katie, great to have you here. Thanks for joining us.Katie Babineau (01:06):Thanks for having me. I'm very excited to be here in Austin and great day to be here with you.Kat Vesce (01:12):Yeah. So I know we're approaching your one year anniversary as a CMO. Coming from a background largely in consumer tech, what drew you to this opportunity at Beyond Yoga?Katie Babineau (01:22):Well, I would say first and foremost, I was already a Beyond Yoga fan and customer and just fan of the brand. So when I had an opportunity to sit down with Nancy Green, our CEO I was very eager to learn more and I had come from a background in consumer tech, so I was very open at the time to making a pivot in my career and learning and growing about a new industry and apparel active wear to me was very interesting. I grew up as an athlete. Movement is so important to me as an individual and just love working in, I love the thought of working in an industry where I could pair both my professional and personal passion. And so Nancy and I met about a year ago. We hit it off, we talked a little bit about our philosophies and brand building where the business was going and it was just such a fit and so was really happy to move very quickly to make it happen.Kat Vesce (02:20):I love it. And tell me a bit about that philosophy. What's at the core of your marketing strategy for Beyond Yoga?Katie Babineau (02:27):Well, I've been there for about a year, so we've been building very, very quickly. But I will say that what I inherited is a very strong foundation. So part of the excitement in coming to this brand was looking at it through the lens of upholding the great legacy of a female founded brand that's still female led today. And knowing the fandom that the company and the brand has when I started and just scaling that we've got opportunity to broaden our reach and our audience. We hadn't really done the brand marketing that's needed to crack that right open. And so I was very excited to come in to learn a little bit more about the customer, a little bit more about our brand and our product. And so our opportunity is just to scale that love and that fandom. And so we're doing that now. We spent last year really redefining our brand position and strategy and just cracking that right open this year. As we look ahead,Ilyse Liffreing (03:30):I know you guys are a great example of why we're here and doing these podcast episodes to begin with International Women's Day and Women's Month on that strategy, are there any campaigns or moments that really changed the game for you as a marketer to this point in your first 11 months on the job?Katie Babineau (03:48):My upbringing as a marketer, I would say I've never considered myself a traditional marketer because I came up early in my career really as social was developing. And so I started my career in PR and really fell in love with social because of the way that the landscape was changing. And so my background in social pr, editorial and community building really has allowed me to think about the marketing mix a lot differently. And of course beyond what we need is more of a full funnel approach. So what we have done to build that foundation is think about how we bring community through the funnel, how we work with the community to totally shift our content strategy in paid advertising, how we think about community events as new customer acquisition tools. And so the campaign that comes to mind for us really is the New York City experience that we created last year, last October.(04:47):And the goal really was to show up in our number one market with a really delightful experience where people could take a step back from the chaos of the holidays, quickly approaching and really focus on mindfulness, on movement. We brought in some of the best wellness influencers and creators and instructors in the world and programmed for a week long in this incredible space around Union Square. And what we found was because we were able to think about engaging with community a bit differently through different types of content models and activations that really were rooted in value for the customer, we saw about a 50% new customer acquisition percentage. We sold product, so we generated revenue there. We don't have a brick and mortar store in New York, but it's our largest e-comm market. And so we were able to really drive lower funnel performance, but in a way that was deeply emotive and really connecting with our customers in new and different ways. So that comes to mind for me. Obviously we've got a lot planned this year as we key up to big important brand moments for us, so very excited to do more,Kat Vesce (06:03):But what a strong start out of the gate. I mean that was what, six months in on the jump pulled that off.Katie Babineau (06:07):We moved fast. I like to move fast, I think former athlete and me, I love a good pace. And coming from tech, I really loved tech because of the fast innovation and getting to connect with customers in new and different ways. And so I think coming in, I was so excited about the potential of the brand that we really just got to work. So it was fun.Ilyse Liffreing (06:29):And it seems like you hit your KPIs there, at least it generated a lot of interest in the brand and everything. Would you do it again? Are there any other key learnings from the experience?Katie Babineau (06:40):Absolutely. So the Collabion franchise had existed before I even got to the brand. It was a matter of pouring rocket fuel on it and pointing it in the right direction. So we host about one club beyond event every month. We're now doing one high impact a quarter. So we've got this emphasis on always on community building. We're getting a little bit tighter and more strategic in where we show up and which markets where we have retail locations, where we've got really incredible wholesale partnerships, studios that we're working with. So that's the focus now and today it's about continuing that hyperlocal love that we have and being able to show up in Austin in a really authentic way or Chicago where we are in a really authentic way. We're an LA built brand, but we're growing and scalingKat Vesce (07:37):Any surprising results from the large Union Square activation you want to talk about?Katie Babineau (07:43):The biggest surprise to me, I am all about managing expectations, especially as a new CMO within a brand who hadn't done a ton of brand marketing historically. So coming into this event, I was very clear on, hey, this is top of funnel. We are trying to drive brand lift and conversation and built some brand heat in a market that's really important for us. So here are the KPIs. We're going to look at conversation lift, we're going to look at our engagement percentages, we're going to look at virality of content, and those are the key performance indicators that we really should be focused on here for our investment. And knowing in the back of my mind that I've seen these sort of activations work full funnel in the past, like, okay, well, so secondary we're going to sell products so we'll generate revenue and secondary we will track new customers into the brand. So we will watch that. And I think I was just blown away by the such high percentage of new customer acquisition. It's like that's incredible as a secondary, but being able to level set expectations because big on for a campaign, what is the clear role that we're trying to achieve?Kat Vesce (08:56):So with all of this increase in customer acquisition on this campaign, how are you converting them into that lifelong fan or loyalty?Katie Babineau (09:06):Well, it's really interesting right now we've got such fandom among our loyal customer base. We know that if you know us, you really love us. There's deep love for the brand through high product quality. And our customers love the touch the feel of the product. So once you experience that, we see such high repeat purchase behavior. And so we believe we've got to focus on that new customer acquisition because once we get 'em into the door, it's a great place to be and they don't want to leave. So we're excited to continue to focus on lighting that up and bringing more people into the fold because we know we're going to deliver such a strong product experience, which really that's the retention piece. And so being able to continue to activate them is super important. As we look ahead,Ilyse Liffreing (10:01):What advice would you give to other marketers looking to build this within their brand ethos? The idea of community mindset and purpose that are all powerful drivers of brand retention and loyalty?Katie Babineau (10:15):I think the number one mistake that marketers can make right now is the misconception that brand and growth are separate. They have to work together and they can work together. And I think we're doing ourselves a disservice if we believe that these are separate levers, right? So the reason why this campaign was so powerful was because we were able to leverage this full funnel and for our performance needs as well. We used a lot of the content in our lower funnel paid ads from, and we're actually seeing that our creator content is driving a much more efficient cost of acquisition. And so I think we can look at the way that we build the infrastructure a little bit differently and think about brand and growth really coming together to drive high impact.Ilyse Liffreing (11:10):The brand has been around for about 20 years now, which is amazing. It's your first store opened in 2022. How does the brand think about retail moving forward?Katie Babineau (11:21):Retail's a big opportunity for us. Our brand 20 years strong. We started really as a wholesale business, and so we built really strong partnerships across over 1200 different partners. You see us in Nordstrom, you see us in Equinox and studios across the country. And during the pandemic, obviously our.com business really thrived and continues to thrive today. As we look to the future, we believe retail is incredible opportunity for us to connect with customers deeply bring those insights back into our business. And so we are going to be opening many more stores. We are signed and announced on a Greenwich Village store opening early this summer. And then we will also open another store in Marin County this year as well. And so we will expand to nine stores this year for sure. We've definitely got more coming and so it's a really exciting time for us.Kat Vesce (12:22):What do you see as the biggest driver for beyond Yoga's next phase of growth?Katie Babineau (12:27):Product expansion is super exciting for us. So we historically have offered an incredible product in our space dive franchise, which is, and people usually buy it in a set of a legging and a crop tank. And we've been really sort of active wear based, but we've got so much opportunity in product expansion, lifestyle categories. Over the past year we've entered into new product categories like dresses that are fast growing for us, like these trouser pants that are incredible, that are fast growing for us. You look at fleece during the holidays, something we didn't have before, hugely a growth opportunity for us. So as we expand the product lineup, now we're bringing more people into the mix with more full funnel marketing and hopefully creating a bigger, better flywheel.Kat Vesce (13:21):And with that expansion, I know you speak to a lot of different generations, a lot of different types of audiences. How do you cater to that wide range of audiences both in marketing and in product?Katie Babineau (13:34):Yeah, it's really interesting and I love that we've got a multi-gender audience and even we see fast growing men's category for us too. So I think at the core, what we deliver is a really positive outlook on this active wear space. We really focus on bringing a little more levity and fun into the space, which can be a very serious space focused on performance and perfection. And we just want to offer an experience and a product that makes you feel really good and comfortable and really just focus on progress over perfection is sort of what we're all about. And we love that that brings in a diversity of customer base.Ilyse Liffreing (14:12):Amazing. So now let's get into our little rapid fire Q and A we have for you. Great. And these are all female focused questions because of International Women's Day. Tell us what inspired you to pursue a career in marketing and how has your journey been as a woman in this industry?Katie Babineau (14:30):People. I love the interaction with people that you get in marketing. I would also say just the diversity of what you do in marketing. It's so right brain, left brain that I really feel like it gives you an equal balance of creativity and science, which I love.Ilyse Liffreing (14:50):So Katie, how has your journey been as a woman in this industry so far?Katie Babineau (14:53):As a female in our industry, there is more pressure in some industries than others. I'll say my journey, especially coming up in tech and my experience had been being one of the only females in the room. And so I always felt an immense pressure even when I was young in my career, to develop my point of view and perspective and be able to speak up in the room in a way that would cut through. And I think being brought up in tech really trained me to do that in a way that was effective because you got to work so hard to cut through as a female if you're one of the only in the room. And so I felt a great duty to make sure that we were thinking about the female perspective. We were honoring at the time 50% of our customer base and even probably more than that for some of the companies that I was at.(15:50):And I took that on pretty early as something that was really important to me. Now, part of the reason I made this pivot into apparel and active wear was a false thought that I would be moving into an industry that was more female forward. I'm so happy that beyond Yoga's female founded, female led and really a majority of our business is female run, but our industry is still run by men, which I was so surprised to learn. And so I think every industry probably deals with it. And so being able to develop your perspective in the room is very important and being able to find the right partners, advocates and allies to help you build and develop that voice. I have a lot of incredible female and male mentors who have supported me along the way and you have to build your community because there's power in numbers and making sure that you've got the right people in your corner.Ilyse Liffreing (16:49):Amazing. And what would you say are those leadership qualities that really help you strive in the industry as a woman?Katie Babineau (16:58):I'm extremely collaborative and empathetic in my approach. And I think being especially early in my career, getting to bring people into a room and problem solve together and help people see each other's perspective is a bit of a superpower that I've had to develop as a female and early in my career, just finding value in being the connector, the strategic connector in the room I think has been very, very helpful. And sort of a secret weapon, if you will.Kat Vesce (17:31):Similar around that vein, what advice would you give to young women aspiring to make it to the next level in their career, to leadership roles? Ultimately within marketing?Katie Babineau (17:41):Two things I would say don't be afraid to take the risk and build your community because this was a big pivot in my career. For me, it was a big jump from tech industry to three new industries, which apparel, retail, e-commerce. And for me, I was very excited about the opportunity to learn. I think for some that might scary, intimidating, sometimes you really need to take a leap to understand either way, great, that was a great learning and I'm thriving, or that was a great learning and I don't love it and I need to go back. But don't be afraid to take risks. Careers are long hopefully and you can pivot and bob and weave and that's a beautiful thing. And the second is just building your community of people, of hype people, supporters that really can help you in tough times and high five you when things are going well because hopefully it is a long career and you've got some starts and pauses and in between and it makes it more fun to have people in your corner.Kat Vesce (18:49):A former leader of ours used to call that your personal board of directors, soKatie Babineau (18:52):I love that. Yeah, that's great.Kat Vesce (18:53):Do you think marketing today is authentically representing and empowering women?Katie Babineau (18:58):I've seen a lot of progressive change in our industry. I think just and genuine excitement to represent more diverse voices. There's a lot of work that needs to be done. I don't think marketing is the problem, I'll just say that, but I do. Just being deeply involved in this community, all of the marketing leaders that I know want to do the right thing, most of them want to do the right thing. And so I think we've got incredible people who are creative leaders who want to think and care really deeply about making sure that in the position that we're in and the storytelling that we get to do every day, that we really represent that the customer well. And so I look at a couple of brands who I love who are really progressive, creative and effective driving business results and people are always going to want to hear about the results.(19:50):I think you look at Elf Cosmetics, they're very progressive, they're brand forward and they've had, I forget how many consecutive quarters, maybe 20 of consecutive revenue growth. They're really changing the game with a heartbeat and they're driving the business incredible. You look at some of the work that NFL is doing, I think they're trying to reach new audiences in a way and knowing they have the deep duty of changing the model in a very old school industry. And so I love that people in our industry are taking risks and especially now this is a risk. So I think we need to continue to take risks and drive change.Kat Vesce (20:35):I love that. Nice to pay it forward. So Katie, this has been so great. Thank you so much for coming and for having time with us. We really appreciate it.Katie Babineau (20:42):Of course. Thank you.Kat Vesce (20:44):A great south by.Katie Babineau (20:45):Yeah.Kat Vesce (20:47):What a powerhouse Ilyse. That was so much fun. Oh my gosh. I know. I love it. She's great. What are some takeaways for you?Ilyse Liffreing (20:53):So I really liked how Club Beyond the full funnel experiential activation in New York City is bringing the brand to life in its own unique way. I think that's a really a great approach for a retail brand that's hoping to grow their footprint.Kat Vesce (21:10):And the notion of once you bring a customer in, they're a fan for life. And that is a huge customer acquisition driver. You don't always think about that in big branding moments. And so I thought that was such a cool story to hear from her. I also just loved Beyond Yoga is 20 years old, it was acquired by Levi's, it's now a Levi's company. They're really focused on that purpose-driven community culture and pushing now into more men's wear. I really just got the sense that they're a brand we're going to see for another 20 years, and I loved hearing her insights around how she's anchoring that in the community that they're building and that they have.Ilyse Liffreing (21:52):Yeah, and it was really interesting to hear her career trajectory and just noticing how she's really relied on people to help her through each stage of her career was fascinating and good to know that there's women out there that are willing to help other women.Kat Vesce (22:11):Yeah, always good. The power of network and then also the fact that you don't have to be in such a linear path in your career. Anyway, all in all, so inspiring. I'm so glad we got the time with Katie. And what a great start to South by Southwest. And that's it for this edition of The Current Podcast. Be sure to tune in this whole month as we release all the recordings from South by Southwest. See you next time.

When Michelle Wahler and Jodi Guber Brufsky set out to launch a yoga wear brand in 2005, they had no idea that it would eventually be acquired—for hundreds of millions of dollars—by one of the most iconic apparel brands in the world. But it took years for Beyond Yoga to get to that point. It grew slowly by partnering with yoga studios and mom-and-pop boutiques, and apart from some initial seed money, it never took on any outside investment. With an obsessive focus on soft fabrics, inclusive sizing and U.S.-based manufacturing, Beyond Yoga eventually began competing with more established brands like Lululemon and Athleta. And in 2021, the brand was acquired by Levi's for $400 million. This episode was produced by Chris Maccini with music by Ramtin Arablouei. Edited by Neva Grant, with research from Kathryn Sypher.

How do you actually stand out in fashion?  You stand for something. No, really stand for something.  That's exactly what Beyond Yoga did. Almost 20 years later, the brand is still thriving.  Building firmly on the ethos that everyone can wear activewear – no matter their shape, size, or activity levels – has cemented them as a forward-thinking leader in this game.  Today, Paul is joined by Michelle Wahler (Co-Founder (& Former CEO) @ Beyond Yoga | ex-Levi Strauss & Co.) to share her co-founding story. Disrupting the activewear space from day 1, with industry-leading fabrics and a total embrace of size-inclusivity, Michelle knows exactly how to create a brand identity that resonates with women everywhere.  Gain real insight into how she balanced the demands of running a business while maintaining the passion and deep love for her work across two decades, alongside the one thing she'd do differently if she could go back. For fellow Founders, her advice is clear – don't forget to protect your equity, and don't sleep on the power of wholesale.  Whether you want to hear the hidden challenges of scaling globally, or you're interested in how Beyond Yoga's unique Space fabric came to be a brand signature, this conversation is packed with the knowledge of growing a brand that puts Advocacy first. Tune in to hear Michelle's take on…  Breaking The Beauty Binary: This mission has been at the core of Beyond Yoga's values, as the brand made a bold commitment to inclusivity and authenticity. With a strict ‘no photoshop' rule, the brand took a strong stance on celebrating real bodies. This unapologetic approach not only resonated but also fueled word-of-mouth, as consumers struggled to find the same authenticity elsewhere. Creating Word-Of-Mouth Buzz: Michelle walks us through the tactical steps that helped the brand grow through word-of-mouth and Advocacy. From the moment the team realized Beyond Yoga had "made it", when Reese Witherspoon was pictured buying their leggings in the 2000s, to the importance of offering what consumers truly want – something no one else is doing. Being Generous To Be Kind First, Not To Benefit: There's nothing that builds Advocacy quite like giving your product away for free. That's exactly what Michelle did, time and time again – not just to creators, but directly to the Beyond Yoga community. Rewarding them for their loyalty, dedication, and taking a chance on a new name. In the same vein is employee Advocacy, with Michelle building out a generous company culture that truly cared for its people; shutting down during the holidays and offering flexible work options long before they were popular. Here's how you build for brands with a mission-driven approach.  Rate & review Building Brand Advocacy: Apple Podcasts Spotify Connect with Michelle: On Instagram

In this episode of Legally Blissed Conversations, we are joined by Aman Costigan, practicing attorney and founder of Beyond Yoga for Lawyers. Aman believes that lawyers are a unique group of people who can understand each other and relate to the stressors that come with being a lawyer in ways that non-lawyers cannot.  Lawyer wellness is near and dear to her heart. She's bringing awareness to lawyer wellness by sharing yoga and mindfulness practices that go beyond the forms of yoga and mainstream practices to promote relaxation, improve focus, and ways to be more present in daily life.

In this episode we are joined by Aman Costigan. In 2018, Aman had a seemingly “on the tracks” career: she had just made partner at the firm she had been with since articling. After years of feeling like she wanted more in her life, Aman decided to take action in 2019 to create a life she loves. She started on a path towards building her own “Empire of Freedom” by bringing fun and adventure back into her life and starting her own business teaching yoga to lawyers (Beyond Yoga for Lawyers). In this conversation Aman shares with us the “now what?” moment she experienced after becoming a partner at her firm. We also discuss what led Aman to create Beyond Yoga for Lawyers, how she works “hard stops” into her week to create strong work/life boundaries, and how to get closer to your core values. We also discuss the importance of finding a routine that works for the current season of your life – and we learn how Aman is in the midst of a very big upcoming life change!

Welcome back to Legally Different. We are joined my Aman Costigan; lawyer, partner, yoga teacher, entrepreneur and investor. Aman founded Beyond Yoga for Lawyers (which she runs on the side of being a lawyer/partner) following a desire to create her own business “I just wanted to do my own thing with no rules”.Aman is 9 years qualified and a partner at her firm. As a proud and successful lawyer, she focused solely on her legal career for the first 5 years, but at year 6 something else was calling her, so she decided to take stock of things and asked herself ‘what do I really want'? Aman realised that in creating her legal career, she had dropped all of her hobbies and interests and, as a naturally multifaceted and multi passionate person, this didn't align with version of success. So, Aman made a decision to follow that calling, own her non-linear nature and step out as a lawyer “and”…..Aman is a successful lawyer AND so much more, including a yoga teacher and entrepreneur. It is admirable to see how she is owning this and in doing so is giving a much needed permission slip to other lawyers and professionals. I also love how as a lawyer/partner at her firm she does things differently – one thing that stood out to me was the vision boarding session she ran aka ‘the vision board party'.It's no surprise that Aman is a Manifesting Generator in Human Design – something we delved into in the episode if you're curious to find out more.Tune in to hear about Aman's process in creating Beyond Yoga for Lawyers and how she is ‘Legally Different' in so many ways.What you can expect:-Aman's journey into law and legal careerAttending a local murder trial which ignited a passion for lawCommitting to law school – not getting what Aman wanted but realising a deeper lesson later onQualifying as a professional regulatory lawyerDedication to Aman's career and making partnerReviewing Aman's version of success and taking stockCraving change and recognizing fulfilment in being a lawyer “and”…..Beyond Yoga For LawyersAman's process to creating BYFLThe need/desire for freedomWhere BYFL is now and how it helps lawyersOther interests which create the lawyer “and” in AmanFinishing up Why Aman is Legally Different; andWhat advice Aman would give her younger self HELPFUL LINKS + CONTACTSBeyond Yoga for Lawyers on InstagramBeyond Yoga for Lawyers' websiteLegally Different's email: hello@legallydifferent.comLegally Different on InstagramThank you to our supporter, Franc and Iris.

Oh my gosh, okay, so we're gonna have some fun. This is this is definitely for my ladies in there and Taylor Carr is our guest this week, she reached out to me and I just saw such a Be It Till You See It story that I wanted to have her on and share that with you. And she is really like not only did she now seeing what she was being before, but she is helping other women do the same. And so if you have been struggling, if you are like, "I get it, I get it, I get it." But you are like, holding back, I think this will be a really fun interview to help you step into that power and help you step into that thing. And I really, I really think you're gonna enjoy it, I had some fun, I learned a lot of stuff, I love it. And I just want to say like, it's okay to listen to all this and, and have really good ideas and really good thoughts. And then either forget it, be overwhelmed, or not take the action. I don't want any one of you to ever shame yourself for listening and then not taking action. Because the reality is, is that you're actually putting all this really good stuff into your brain. And there will be a day when it just freakin clicks when you're like, This is the day. And I think, you know, I think it's a lot to put pressure on yourself, added pressure on yourself to be perfect and do the things we're telling you to do that sound really good to you. We're not perfect, and that's boring. Remember, that's what we say around here. Action does bring clarity, though. So what I would say is ditch the perfection, and take the action as you're ready towards the person you're wanting to be. And it doesn't have to be a lot and you'll hear a Taylor say that I asked her a question about like what to do when you're overwhelmed when you're busy. And I really loved her. I really loved her answer to that. So I can't wait for you to hear it. But I just I just had to say that because I do think it's really easy to start avoiding good, solid, awesome advice. Because you're like, Well, I'm not doing it. So I'm just gonna, like I'm wasting their time, you're never wasting our time. You know? And, and the reality is, is that all these doses of goodness, they get into your brain. And then one day, they change your thoughts which change your beliefs, which changes what you do. And so I'm so grateful for you, thank you for listening to each and every episode. Thank you for telling me your bold moments, you can always DM those bold moments, to the Be It pod on Instagram. We want to share those with people and inspire people how you're being it till you see it. And, you know, thanks for sending this to a friend because we grow because of you. And I'm so so grateful. And today's guest happened because of this podcast. She heard it, she had a story. And I was like that's a Be IT thing. So I'm really grateful. And now without further a do, except for that little a do, that happens between now and the guest, Taylor Carr.Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Alright Be It listener, I got Taylor Carr here. And I'm really excited to have you because we have talked about hypnotherapy in the past with a past guest but the way you've used it has been incredible. And y'all I can't wait for you to hear her whole story because what she has been able to do in her life is literally be till she sees it. And she's she's embodying it and teaching women how to do the exact same. I've been looking at what she's been doing on Instagram, and it's really cool. So Taylor, thank you for being here. Can you please tell everyone who you are and what you're rocking out right now?Taylor Carr 4:02  Lesley, thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited especially to be kicking off the New Year with you. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hi, everybody. I'm Taylor Carr. I am a manifestation coach and a feminine success mentor. So what I do is I help women manifest the life that has been pinned to their vision board for way too long. And I do so using practices that are very spiritual, but also that are very scientific, like clinical hypnotherapy. And that means rewiring the subconscious to make money, you know, an easier more delicious thing in your life. To make love something that doesn't seem so far away to make the success that you want completely tailored to you. And not this like patriarchal version of what we think that we're supposed to want.Lesley Logan 4:45  Oh, I mean, like, right? Like everyone's like, "Okay, I'm so sorry, what? You're gonna help me do take the vision board and be the thing"? Like, I think that's really cool. Can you like, how did you start doing that? Because that is not something like first of all, that's not on a kindergartener. like vision board, like, I'm going to be a manifestation coach ...(Lesley laughs) You know, like so you know, and maybe it is if your mom was one but like, how did that come about? How did you come into this this role in your life?Taylor Carr 5:12  So in kindergarten, I'm just kidding. (Lesley laughs) In Kingergarten I learned about the law of attraction. No. So what happened was long story short, in my early 20s, I was diagnosed with an incurable pain disease called interstitial cystitis, it completely affects the bladder, the womb, the Yoni all of these beautiful spaces, and it just completely took away. My womanhood is what it felt like, you know, like I was 21, I moved to a new city, Los Angeles, I was just like, I wanted to get out there, I wanted to date I wanted to do all the things. And I couldn't do any of it. I couldn't drink I had to be like a complete raw vegan, and even that, like was super limited, because I was allergic to citrus, and caffeine and gluten and like all the things, so I was like really eating just kale, if I'm honest, and celery, and then I was going through all these treatments. And, you know, through our, through our medical system, I saw that there was nothing there for me. I was going through really invasive treatments, my legs were open for all these different doctors that were poking and prodding at me. And I was like, like, nothing's happening. Nothing's working. I'm still in extreme pain. It was so traumatic. It was so shameful. And I just remember, like, I went into my doctor's office on like, the fifth treatment. And it was so embarrassing. The liquid fell out of me in in the ah what's it called? (Lesley: the examine room?) The waiting room waiting, (Lesley: oh, gosh) the waiting room in front of people while I was leaving. And they were like, you know, your treatments aren't really working. We could put you on this medication, but you might lose your hair. And there's no evidence that it'll work. And I was like, "What did like that's, that's not, that's not a result. Like that's, that's not helpful." So I remember I came home and I like turned on my little HP computer camera. And I was like, Hello, YouTube. YouTube was like pretty new. At the time, I was like, Hello, YouTube. My name is Taylor Carr, I've interstitial cystitis, I'm going to heal this naturally, or I'm going to die trying. Is basically what my first video said. And I just documented myself trying to heal myself from this incurable pain disease. And what I found was not only was it the diet that helped me, but more so the mindset. It was like the deep rewiring of like my own feminine lineage. The trauma that was in my family, the sexual abuse, all of this stuff that was like literally causing pain in the place where my family had caused, like had pain and trauma, and shame and all of this stuff. So that's where it began. And as I went through my journey, you know, I was just like seeing little elements here. And here, like, felt like full spiritual awakening definitely comes from, you know, being ill and not knowing if you're going to survive it. And interstitial cystitis to be fair does not kill you. But the pain of it has taken a lot of lives. (Lesley: Yeah) And so and so I was just like, like, if I can heal myself from this, other people can do the same. And I was like, coaching people around the world for free. And I got my, you know, I started seeing a hypnotherapist because I became a hypochondriac. Every little pain was like, oh my god, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna get some other illness. (Lesley: right, right) And I saw the power of that. And then the spirituality, the manifestation portions, and all of it, I was like, life gets to be so much easier than what we've been told. So many of us are walking around with these illnesses and these pains, and the shame and the trauma and all of the things. But we're never taught to be present. We're never taught to be grateful. We're never taught to be here and now. And as a women, it's even bigger, it's even worse, because we're actually just told to like, sit down, shut up, be pretty, smell nice. All the things...Lesley Logan 8:34  Don't brag, dont' don't talk about those embarrassing things. Like don't talk about your cystitis, because that's gonna, like, make someone uncomfortable. LikeTaylor Carr 8:42  I had a man tell me you really shouldn't talk about your illness so much because nobody wants to love a sick girl. And I was like, "nobody wants to love a sick girl?". Like, this is my body. This is my life, you know, so so it's just, it was quite the magical journey. And I'm so like, I'm so grateful interstitial cystitis was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because it opened me up to more pleasure, more love, more life.Lesley Logan 9:06  Well, you know, that's what's so interesting is I think, you know, it's really hard to say it to someone who's going through something like what you're going through, but like, truly trying to own it and believe that whatever is happening for you, right, like whatever's happening is like happening for you and that you wouldn't be on this journey, you probably wouldn't, maybe you would have discovered some of these things along the way because you seem like a very curious person, but like to literally be living the life that you're living and being this person and taking people on a journey. You would not have explored all of those things or even understood them to the depths you do because you had a hit, not a rock bottom but like a traumatic like a very painful space. And I do think like they always say like that there's like it's the darkness before the light right? Like the like the eye of the storm is like, like all those things. They're not cliches for like, for no reason. They actually are because people have gone through this and what I think is so interesting is, you know what you're doing now. Like what you what you proclaimed on YouTube, right is like you literally were being it till you saw it like, you're like, I'm going to do this. I don't even know ...(Lesley laughs). I'm gonna do this and I think so many people get stuck on like, but I don't know what the next step is and you didn't really have a next step you just were like I'm marking this in the sand. This is what I'm going to start going as and then you took the next steps as you could. And I really hope people are having heard that in your story because it is, it is not easy to do that. Like that's not an easy thing to do. It might have been the easiest thing you did, probably along your journey was proclaiming to YouTube, but I commend, thank you for sharing this because I do think there's a lot of women who have something going on in their bodies that they're either afraid to talk about, don't talk about, think that someone won't love them if they talk about it. But really, like as women, there's so many things that as we talk about them, you know, I am had stomach issues for so long. And when I started talking about them, I found out everyone had stomach issues, and everyone is covering them up and everyone's not dealing with it. Because I want to talk about gas and diarrhea and all that stuff. But like, and I understand when you said like, became a hypochondriac. I it took me a long time to understand that having a gas pain didn't mean I was going to have same stomach issues again ...(Taylor laughs) Actually, no, you just ate too much. Like that's normal. That's a normal digestive process. So I can understand becoming a little bit like on on the on the edge of it. So, okay. You your curiosity took you down this path. One, when you meet with women who are either I don't want to say playing it safe or holding themselves back because I think they're just being what they were told to be. But like, when you're seeing women not step into their amazingness what, what do you tell them? Like what's what do we what do you need to hear? You know, what does that look like?Taylor Carr 11:38  There's so many things you know, because I also come from a very traumatic background, of course, you know, this is the oldest piece and it was, you know, the abuse the drug addiction. I lost a parent at 15 to drug abuse, you know, like the codependency. We were homeless after he died. Like all of these things, I realized played into like the perfectionism, the being really small, playing it safe all of that. And so you know, it's so funny. I my clients always joke that they have like a little quote. they're like, "I spank you" cuz I'm always like, "I spank you." But it's, it's, I always tell them like, like, who is your inner bad girl? And why have we locked her away? Why do we make her be bad? Why do we think that the things that she has to say, the feelings that she feels her desires? Why do we think that she's bad? I asked, I asked my clients, let her out of the closet. Have tea with her, sit with her, find out why she wants what she wants. Because if our bad girl is in the closet, or also like to color the lioness, if she's in the closet, then you're not being all of you. You're not being whole and to be the whole woman you want to be, to create the success you want to be to be multi dimensional. You have to be all of it. You have to be bad, good, sexy, dark, light, like all of it. It's important.Lesley Logan 12:46  Well, it is 100%. And I can totally understand like, you know, compartmentalizing, and going, "oh, well what will people say? What people think if I like..." all that stuff, and you know, you bring up you brought up the trauma. And I want to we've had some guests who work with those who've gone through trauma in different ways as guests. And one of the things that's interesting is that people are starting to actually look at trauma, they're actually starting to like, understand it in a different way. Like there an amazing book, What Happened To You, and like the more I read that I like, want to reread it, though I've just finished it. It's like, somebody was asking my dog, like, what's wrong with you? And I was like, it's actually what happened to him. Like, we should really wonder what happened to him. And like, because people become people pleasers, based on what happened to them, people become perfectionists there because of what happened. And like, all those things happen. And there's all the stuff you talked about, like ancestral trauma, like stuff that went through your parents that came into you. And so it is, it is not for, like random reason that this happened to you. It's because of all of those things that happened. And because you're a human being everyone else has a different times having those same things and they're locking things away, like, Oh, when I did this, this happen, so I won't do that anymore. I won't be that anymore, because then people won't like me or people will leave or people might pass away. So. So I do love that you have the bad girl they have to have tea with ...(Lesley laughs) (Taylor: Yeah), yeah. So okay, so in your journey of doing this, what what have you seen women be able to do once they step into that power? Like what are some of the transformation stories you've seen?Taylor Carr 14:16  I have seen women ask for a raise at work by multiple 1000s of dollars and get it. I have seen women rise into leadership. You know, I was just, you know, just having this conversation with my client earlier, I'd actually love to share it here. She had a very difficult meeting. She's a manager at a tech company. And, and she had a very difficult conversation with a man in his 60s who wanted to challenge her. And she was like, I need to bring the spice and the lion and the fire and the bad girl and all the things. And I was like, listen, you're powerful already. You know, like, we don't have to be bitchy and spicy and all these things like your bad girl is for you. And you can unleash it however you want. But at the same time, like when you are calm in your power, when your nervous system is relaxed your power. You don't have to prove yourself to anyone. And that's the thing that I really want to like drive home is like, you don't have to prove yourself, you're enough as you are, you're powerful, powerful as you are, you've done your training, you've done your work. You know, if you find yourself in a position of getting defensive, then you don't believe that you're actually (Lesley: Yeah) powerful. SoLesley Logan 15:20  That's not even Being It like that's like playing another role. Is actually what that is. Taylor Carr 15:23  Exactly. (Lesley: Exactly), exactly. So that was a really powerful moment for her today. I have seen my one of my clients left her teaching job, and then immediately manifested a trip to Mexico with her dream job where she got paid to, like be a photographer for these beautiful women on this on a business retreat in Mexico. And now she's doing it full time completely. She was booked out through the end of last year ...(Lesley: wow) Let's see any anyone else... I mean, there's so many, I'm like ... okay. Lesley Logan 15:50  Okay, those are, those are amazing ...(Taylor laughs) So for the person who's like, "Wait, how do I manifest"? Like 101 manifestation? What do you got? ...(Lesley laughs)Taylor Carr 16:00  Manifestation 1 0 1. It's all about your frequency, right? It's all about your energy. And and this is where your subconscious mind is really playing. It's really at play. Because we have these programs, our computer, our brain is a computer. And it runs these programs every single day. And we become really, really used to, "Oh like, I look fat. Oh, I don't look good. Oh, there's not enough money. Oh". Like these, these are on repeat. So the first thing that I would have anybody do is just take a look at your thoughts. Because your thoughts, create your feelings, your feelings, create your reality. And make no mistake, you are always creating your reality, which is like amazing, and also super sucks when we're not super in control of our minds. (Lesley: Right) But it always comes down to like, look at your thoughts. And what do you choose to think instead? I can look in the mirror and think like, Oh, my pores are so big. And I wish that my my double chin was smaller or whatever, you know, or I can choose to think like, well, I'm good enough as I am like, I am beautiful as I am, and and focus on something else. It's really where you focus is where expands in your life. So choose differently. And that doesn't mean we won't go through experiences that are hard. That doesn't mean the shadow doesn't exist. It absolutely does. But it's how you choose to rise. It's how you choose that you deserve something. It's how you choose that you belong somewhere.Lesley Logan 17:15  100% I mean, like we because thoughts become like we thought to become facts, but to be careful what we believe because whatever believe like, we're like, that's a that's a fact, right there. It's like actually ...(Taylor laughs) like, you know, so I always like to look for evidence of what I believe to be true. And so like one of the things that I struggled with is like a fear of success. And we're just like a thing that people like watching me for that I'm like, Well, it's because the thing actually when you're when you're raised to think like don't brag because people won't like you. And then also like you don't see people in your family or life like rise to these big things. You actually don't see women create these. Now we do but I didn't grow up with that. So I have to like really retrain like the thought. So I like look for evidence. So when I just heard Beyond Yoga sold for $400 million to Levi's. Like female owned. I'm like way to go lady, I'm like, you know my friend (Taylor laughs) Jamie currently, and I'm like, whoo, $1.1 billion. Love it. Like, I'm like all the ladies like making billions. I'm like, Okay, look at all these women who started from nothing, who didn't have that. Because like, you have to look for the evidence so that you can change your thoughts so that you can change your feelings, you can change your reality and, and it's true. Like if you wake up feeling sick, then what do you say like, Oh, I I don't feel good. I don't feel good. Instead of like, this part of me doesn't feel very well right now. And we start to act like a like we're sick. And then we don't have energy and we don't have we don't have the capacity to make things. But if you're just like, Oh, I'm actually having the sniffles right now this is not feeling really good. I have you can actually change. You can actually still have control over something, you're not how you feel. So I love that because it makes the manifesting even easier, because it's not like, oh, I want this. It's like what are the thoughts that I'm playing in my head? What's the program that's running so that I can have the feeling so that I can actually take the actions from those feelings that make the thing I want to have happen. Love that. Okay, (Taylor: Yes) So, um, you said something earlier, I want to go back to and it's not coming to my head right away. So we'll come back to that. But you know, Taylor, I think for a lot of people, they get stuck in the, "Well that's so nice for them. I'm really busy. I've got a lot going on. I've got all these bills to pay. I've got you know". Da da da. For the very busy person for the person who's overwhelmed and this sounds lovely but this sounds like a dream world. What is the five minute version of it? Like is there a small like it can they dip their toe in? Is there a way that like, you know, like, you know, you can knock the door of the first domino forward for them like what does that look like?Taylor Carr 19:35  For you know, I think that for those types of people it's it's pleasure in the small things you know, so if you're walking to your car, and you're like running late or whatever, can you take a moment to like look around and see the cloud formations in the sky and get really present have like, that is really beautiful, or you know, smell a flower that's you know, a common saying stop and smell the roses. Right? Or like a butterfly flies by and that becomes something sacred because the truth is, is that we are in a busy world and things are chaotic. And you know, and there's a pandemic, and there's all the things and it's a lot and all the politics. But if you can just take a moment to remember why life is beautiful every day. That really could be enough.Lesley Logan 20:13  Oh, love that. That is yes, because I, yes. I really can't wait for like the sun to start rising earlier because my favorite thing to do on a walk is to watch the sun come up. No matter how low it is. I just love to see the colors. And right now I've been I've been doing my walks. I'm like, the sun is not up until I go on the peloton. This is not fun for me ...(Taylor laughs) Like I don't want to notice the sun on my peloton. I want to notice this when I'm outside. Anyways, this is my own thing that I have to work on. Okay, I know I remember when I was. Clinical hypnosis for the person who is still believing that hypnosis is you know, the quacking like a dog and all the stuff that we've all been seeing on whatever. We raised for raise without on like the Maury Povich show. What a clinical hypnosis and like, how do you know that you need it? What What Why would you seek it out?Taylor Carr 21:00  Yeah, so so stage hypnosis is just completely different. It's like a performance act. And it's amazing. And it's not the same process at all, it's completely different. So what I do the clinical hypnotherapy piece of this, it really is like you're going into the deepest meditation of your life, your whole body becomes very, very calm. So this is great for people who are like anxious, or they're really struggling to like slow down, your body gets extremely calm your brains, which is into alpha, and then to theta wave length, which is like that, that wavelength right before you're asleep, right. And when you're in that wavelength, and you're so relaxed, and so peaceful, and you feel really safe, your subconscious mind is able to come forward and really absorb in a new way. The line between the conscious and the subconscious dissolves. So what I do when I get them into the state, which takes roughly 20 minutes of like different visualizations and practices. I then regurgitate the words back to their subconscious mind that they've told me they want to feel. So most of the time I see the fear of success. I see like, there's never enough money. I see, you know, like, I'm not lovable, or I'm not worthy. Like the amount of imposter syndrome in women, like every single woman has it. Right? So it's that like, you, you tell me what you want to feel? And then I hope you feel it on autopilot?Lesley Logan 22:20  Well, because the subconscious, like people for like, subconscious, so malleable, you can tell the subconscious anything. But the problem is, is we just, we just thought the subconscious tells us what we've told it before.Taylor Carr 22:30  Yeah, and it totally is running the show. You know, it's it's doing everything, every single time that you think a thought that's like, Oh, I'm not good enough to do this. It's because you learned it somewhere else in, maybe in your childhood or in your teen years. And it got stuck in there. And you really believe it now because it's been playing so much. So that's why it does take more I mean, you can get results after one session, but I always say like three to six, because three to six times of me telling your subconscious mind how deeply worthy and beautiful and magnetic and radiant you are. You're going to walk into any room feeling that way and you're not even going to have to try.Lesley Logan 23:02  Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, that I'm that maybe I need that ...(Lesley laughs) I, so Okay. Pardon me. So you're working. So I'm doing so many, many amazing things. I want to know like, what are you actually working on being right now? Like, what are you stepping into right now? Can you share?Taylor Carr 23:22  Yeah, I'm so excited. I did you know, I'm currently sick entering this New Year sick, which I totally manifested. Because my word for this year was health. And so my body was like, let's get it out of the way. Now. I was like, "Thanks, body" ...(Taylor laughs) But what I'm working on Being is um, oh how do I share this? I haven't shared this yet, actually ...(Lesley laughs) This year for me is less about money in numbers, and it's more about impact and influence. So my work right now is really embodying the celebrity archetype, which is something that I embodied at the beginning of last year when my business went from $0 to eight and $9,000 months within the span of just a few weeks. The Celebrity archetype is one of my five feminine manifestation archetypes. And it's really about being the woman who is unapologetic about exactly what she wants and going to get it. And it's the woman who's not afraid to be spiritual and you know, connected to the universe and all of these things, bouncing my chakras, but also kind of being a bad bitch and wanting to wear sequins and glitter and drink champagne and be all of it at the same time and still allow that to be sacred. (Lesley: Yeah) And you know, I want to have the type of business that I want. I want to have the type of money that I want. I want to have the nice things that I want and not shaming myself for it. So this year is all about stepping into my celebrity. Stepping into that energy of like, I do more podcasts, I, I get on stages, I do keynote speaking, I get in magazines and articles. Less selling on Instagram, less of that hustle and more of being the woman I want to be and having massive impact.Lesley Logan 25:05  That's really cool. So I do want to type I don't let me forget I want to the other archetypes are because I think of like, "Wait, what are there five? Let me know. But so, so what you're doing it what you're saying, I don't wanna put words in your mouth, but like right now that you're like, actually to, you're actually making sure that you're being those things like each day, you're trying to do one of those things so you can continue to make your reality that Celebrity archetype. Is that what you're doing? Yeah,Taylor Carr 25:29  It's being her now. I have this, this this little story that I tell. And I talked about how like, I was always chasing my future self. I was always like, trying to catch up to her. And the way that I see her in my head, is this woman is glowing, radiant woman in a room filled with people wearing black and she's wearing red. I'm like the woman in the red dress. How do I become the woman in the red dress? And, and, and one day, I was like, "Oh, I just put the red dress on." So every day I'm putting the red dress on (Lesley: and playing a song lady in red...) ...(Lesley laughs)Lesley Logan 25:54  I'm old ...(Lesley laughs) (Taylor: I don't know we might be close to the same age.) That's, I love that. I love that. Thank you for sharing that I was just today in this moment, I was like, I'm just gonna ask people how they're what they're Being right now. (Taylor: Yeah) Just like I just like, yeah, why are we not doing that? Like duh Les. That's like what this podcast is up. So other archetypes so that in case you were like, "Oh, that celebrity one sounds really great." But like maybe what are the other ones?Taylor Carr 26:27  Yeah, so they are made up of the Romantic, the Chemist, the Lioness, the Seductress and the Celebrity.Lesley Logan 26:35  Okay. Very cool. So the one that stood out to me, what's the Chemist? This one sounds really cool.Taylor Carr 26:42  The Chemist, Yeah. So the Chemist archetype is actually the number one archetype that people get when they take my quiz. But the Chemist archetype is is the woman who like they know, manifestation is real. They know the whoo is real, but like, they really need that tangible scientific evidence. They're more into like, listening to Dr. Joe Dispenza. And listening to like quantum science and like, really trying to understand the why that this is happening versus the magic is happening. And that's wonderful. It's like, no, I need the concrete evidence, but I know it's real. But show me the evidence ...(Lesley laughs)Lesley Logan 27:14  So Joe Dispenza is on my audible right now and ...(Lesley laughs) (Taylor: he's all the way to Chemist) like, I'm like, I'm like, love this guy. Love it. He's saying everything I believe, perfect. I just need a I definitely like, like, just give me that. Like, there's a little bit of evidence because, (Taylor: Yeah) because I think like, sometimes I'm like, I'm like, Oh, I know this stuff. And then I find the book that actually validates that I'm like, Oh, well, perfect. Now there's actually sign. So sometimes I just like to have the science because I'm like, I don't want to be the savant. I want to (Lesley: laughs) want to really when someone tells him I just read Joe Dispenza. He's like, really awesome. Okay, so the Seductress and the Lioness. Quick, what are those?Taylor Carr 27:50  The Lioness is like the She E O, she is like loving, fierce, that ferocious energy. She's all the way a leader. She's all about compassionate, empathetic, feminine leadership. So that's like, everything is done with love, no matter how ferocious it is. It always comes back to love. She loves nice things. She has the designer handbag, she likes the private jets.Lesley Logan 28:09  I'm the lion. I want to be, well I am the Lioness. And I want me to be the Lioness because we're saving for the... I am because I'll just tell you, why. Not that you don't know this about me already. Y'all. We don't have a car because I keep telling my husband not until I can have the electric G Wagen that they're gonna come out with. (Taylor: wooh!) we're just gonna have that and I'm having fun party. And everyone's like, you don't even like to drive. I'm like, I'll like driving that. I will love driving that so there coming a electric version. I want the G Wagen. I like to sit up tall and yes, I will have my Selena, my Louis Vuitton, with my with my sandals and my ripped jeans ...(Lesley laughs) (Taylor: Yes! Lioness vibes all the way) Okay, so I think I think that that's the one that I have to step into for this year. So thank you so much. I'm gonna have to look her up. You must have her on your website. Yeah. (Taylor: Yeah, the quiz is on there). Perfect. So then the Seductress and there was one other. What are those?Taylor Carr 28:58  Okay, so the Seductress is what we call the highest level archetype. And it's funny because you wouldn't think that but you kind of have to go through all the archetypes to be comfortable in your Seductress. I believe that the Seductress is the closest to God. I believe that her body her sexuality, her experience, she leads with it. She manifests with it. She has the universe really like craving to provide for her and and this is the type of this is the type of woman who just she radiates confidence. She is all of it. She is orgasmic and proud. She is sexy and proud. She's connected to God, she's connected to her body. And she she really is she really is special. She's difficult to get to she takes the most work to heal, and that's why we call her the highest level. The Romantic is the other one and a lot of people go, "I got the romantic (cries) I don't like like I don't want to do love stuff right now. I just want money." But I always challenge them because I believe that love is actually the center of money. I believe that love is the center of all things in the feminine experience. So for the woman who's able to soften and see that love is a beautiful thing. And she would rather you know, take a beautiful stroll down, you know, the the block during sunset, like, drink her, you know her coffee and it's slow and it's beautiful and she loves the berries at the farmers market. That's really the romantic, she's very present. She's very soft.Lesley Logan 30:19  Very good. Thank you for walking through all of those, I think (Taylor: Yeah) you're stepping into the Celebrity archetype. This year, I'm going to step into the Lioness because that's really, um, it's already calling to me, and I just need to (Taylor: Yes) take the next step. So we're going to be that this year. Okay, so this has been really fun. Um, I think a lot of people are like, hold on, there's more. There's more. Alright, Taylor, where can people like find you work with you get to know like, they're like, Okay, "hold on, I gotta step into the Seductress archetype." Where, where can they go to learn more about this?Taylor Carr 30:48  Yeah, so my website is upgradewithtaylor.com and you can find the quiz on the website. And actually, that is held with me and my colleague, Sarah D'Angelo. So you'll see some emails come in from both of us. And there'll be like a breakdown of all the archetypes and what you got. And it'll be super fun. It's a really fun experience. On Instagram, I'm at Tayfemme. And, and then on Facebook, I have a private group free group, it's called the Activated Woman Collective. And we have lots of beautiful like trainings and challenges and devotions. And it's a really beautiful place.Lesley Logan 31:21  Cool, love that free group. All those will be in the show notes below. So at Tayfemme on Instagram, okay, so Bold, Executable, Intrinsic, Targeted steps people can take to Be It Till they See It. Taylor Carr 31:34  Whooo... you know, I think the biggest thing is leaving fear at the door and just doing it anyway because the truth is, is that you're never going to be ready. If you wait to be ready, you will be waiting your entire life, but when you put the red dress on and you go ferociously and powerfully in the direction of your dreams, you cannot miss. You will not lose and there will be times that are hard, and you have to be courageous enough to get through them and you are. And that's the piece I really want to drive home too, is like you are. You are strong enough, you are courageous enough, you really can't get through it. And on the other side, it's really magical and I really really want you to get there.Lesley Logan 32:13  Taylor, thank you so much. I mean I when you say that you have so much conviction and because you say from a place of experience and and you are living it as well and so I do think a lot of people can say just didn't do it despite a fear but like you have actually done that with the with the things you've overcome in your life. So thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for for taking us on this journey. Like I am like filling my fem, I'm filling all my stuff. This lioness is like ready to rock. Watch this. (Taylor: Yeah) She E O over. ...(Taylor laughs) Everyone do me a huge favor and Taylor, tag at tayfemm and the Be It pod with what your takeaways were, what your favorite part of this podcast was? How are you going to use these things in your life? We want to know. I know that we will definitely be cheering you on from the sidelines. And also, it's how more people hear this message. And when all think about it, if all the women surrounding you were doing these things, wouldn't it be so much freakin easier to do these things. So we have to change the collective that we're in because otherwise we're like surrounded by the people with the old messaging. So this is how you change your friends minds so you can change your mind and Be It Till You See It.Taylor Carr 33:24  Thank you so much, my queen.Lesley Logan 33:28  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It podcast.

Landlords and renters have been challenged in multiple ways due to the eviction moratorium. The new order put in place a few days ago temporarily halts evictions in counties with COVID-19 cases and should cover areas where 90% of the U.S. population lives. Even though this was enacted The Franklin County Municipal Court will not comply with the recent moratorium order issued by the CDC. Levi Strauss & Co. is venturing into activewear by buying Beyond Yoga in a cash deal expected to close in the fourth quarter. Target is rolling out a new education program that will cover the cost of associate and undergraduate degrees at select schools. It also will help pay for graduate school costs. https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/planning (#planning) https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/imc (#IMC)

In The Room with Katie Warner Johnson This week on The Room Podcast, we are excited to share our conversation with Katie Warner Johnson, Founder and CEO of Carbon38. Carbon38 is one of the leading activewear e-commerce platforms, carrying brands like Beyond Yoga, Isabel Marant, Adidas by Stella McCartney and their own line. Katie's journey to disrupting the activewear industry started early on as a professional dancer from childhood and later, a Physique 57 fitness instructor. After years of being immersed in the health and fitness world, Katie realized that the sports bras and leggings that were being sold were just not meeting the needs of women. She decided to move to Los Angeles and build a business that provided fashion-forward activewear designed by women, for women. In this episode, Katie talks about the relationship between being a performer and an entrepreneur, serving the needs of her customer, The Boss, empowering women with women-led brands, and the future of activewear. Season 4 is sponsored by our friends at Silicon Valley Bank and Cooley.

Are you more likely to follow your intuition or the numbers when it comes to big business decisions? I think intuition is a superpower for women entrepreneurs. It certainly is for the founder of Beyond Yoga, Jodi Guber Brufksy. As a yoga instructor and life coach, she kept searching for stylish and flattering workout wear to complement not only her teaching and practice, but her life beyond the yoga mat. When she couldn't find what she wanted, she created it herself. That's the short version of how Beyond Yoga was born.  Jodi shares how she learned to hear and follow her intuition, her journey through the growing pains of an apparel brand, and how she's set her brand apart in a crowded space through storytelling.

When Jodi Guber Brufsky was a yoga instructor and life coach in 2005, she searched for, but couldn't find, stylish and flattering workout wear to complement not only her teaching and practice, but her life beyond the yoga mat. “I wanted to create workout and lifestyle clothes that were easy to wear and that I could feel confident in.” she says. The next year, she launched Beyond Yoga, a line of sophisticated basics that celebrate and inspire women in their workouts and in their lives.Jodi grew up in Hollywood, daughter of legendary producer Peter Guber and yogi philanthropist Tara Lynda Guber, in the world of celebrity. She constantly felt pressure to look a certain way, and mastered the art of flattering her body at any size, whether in the spotlight or for herself. Jodi began a successful career as a talent agent at ICM and William Morris, and later co-founded a full service event and public relations company, Beyond PR. But she continually struggled with her body image. Yoga ultimately led Jodi to her purpose. “Yoga changed my outlook on life, I became more focused on intention and integrity. This drew me to launch Beyond Yoga so I could inspire other women to feel as empowered as I do.”As Founder, Chairwoman and Chief Creative Officer of Beyond Yoga, Jodi shapes the vision and direction of Beyond Yoga. Through this platform, Jodi encourages women on their own journeys of self-acceptance with powerful messaging like the Be Body Proud campaign. Beyond Yoga is a true supporter of a woman's path to body confidence. You can also get great inspiration on the blog www.iambeyond.comYou can be inspired with and by Jodi on her official instagram @jodiguberbrufsky - it is a passion of hers to remind women (and herself while she is at it) the importance of self-love and self worth on this channel as well as some beauty and fashion tips along the way. #livebeyondIG: @beyondyogaWebsite: beyondyoga.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Several years into her law practice, Aman Costigan came to the realization that she didn't want lose all the parts of her identity as a person in order to be a good lawyer. In fact, when she followed the teachings of her yoga practice, she found freedom to start showing up authentically. Part of showing up authentically was sharing her love of yoga with other lawyers. As a partner at a law firm in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Aman practices as independent counsel for tribunals deciding professional disciplinary actions. Her job can certainly be stressful.

Life is knowledge. How you approach knowledge decided what you make out of life. And so far, you have learned only two ways of approaching life, either through science or religion. Patanjali is showing you the third way of approaching, i.e., of awareness. It contains science, but it is not confined to science; it contains religion but not confined by it.   ====== Join me in a 30 min meditation session every day at 7 AM CET on my website: www.dhyanse.com/live   Each session is unique, starts with a 15 min discourse, followed by 15 min Guided Meditation.   ======   WHO AM I:   I am Dhyanse, a Meditation Master with a contemporary approach to Yoga, Zen and Tantra.

On this week's episode of The curiouser & curiouser Podcast, I'm sharing a conversation I had with Beyond Yoga‘s Design Director, Natalia Giacomelli. If you aren't familiar with the activewear brand Beyond Yoga, you need some of this clothing in your life!

Have you ever thought about exploring the world of online teaching and offerings? Or perhaps you already have some online offerings but they haven't quite got the traction you are looking for? In this episode I speak with Eileen McGurty, a yoga teacher who discovered the power of online courses and now guides others to create their own online offerings. We talk about the benefits of having online courses vs. in person workshops, how to think beyond streaming yoga classes, what backward design is and how to apply that with your online course, why you should record your next LIVE workshop, why less information may be better for an online course, how to price and value your course and so much more. I highly recommend this episode for any yoga teacher or wellness professional out there no matter where you are in your career. You can learn more about Eileen at: http://greatonlineteaching.com/ Also be sure to grab the free handout to go with this episode to help you integrate and implement this wisdom into your yoga career.

Emil Wendel ist ein Zeitgeist der 68-Bewegung und einer jener, die es damals Richtung Osten zog. Er ist gebürtiger Schweizer und lebt seit den Siebziger Jahren in Asien. Er studierte Sanskrit in Indien und chinesische Philosophie und Taoismus in Südostasien. „Yoga ist nicht nur physische Körperübung“, meint Emil Wendel und unterrichtet über die klassischen Yogakörperübungen hinaus, auf der Suche nach einem subtileren Teil von Yoga. Emil Wendel ist seit vielen Jahren Yoga-Lehrer und unterrichtet indische Philosophie im Rahmen vieler Yoga Teacher Trainings auf der ganzen Welt. Er praktiziert Hatha Yoga und hatte viele verschiedene Lehrer aus verschiedenen Yoga-Richtungen. Mit seinem Art des unterrichtens möchte er „beyond the asana“ (über die Körperübung hinaus) gehen. Im Gespräch mit Talkreich philosophiert er über die Wirkung von Reisen nach Asien und nimmt dabei feinsäuberlich die chinesiche und indische Geschichte unter die Lupe. Er erläutert uns die Unterschiede des Taoismus und der indischen Philosophie und bringt auch Klarheit in den Dschungel der Yogawelt und dessen Bezeichnungen. Vor allem aber nimmt er Stellung; warum für ihn das disziplinierte Praktizieren der einzige Weg zur Freiheit ist.

One word for Jodi is - Dedicated! Meeting up with Jodi Guber was fun. I was able to shop her line Beyond Yoga, find cute pants (that are in the pic of us doing crescent pose but you can barely see them.. check her site for sweet goodies) and talk about Gratitude, who we are on and off the mat, and what this moment offers us. We even have an interruption from her fiance (giving us 10min warning) which brings life and reality right there in an urban yogini's lifestyle.
