Are you suffering from the belief that marketing is slimy? Listen in to learn how to shift your mindset around the key to your success as a wellness professional.   What you'll get out of tuning in: Why it's important to uproot your “brules” around money. How to shift your beliefs about marketing. How to change your behavior around marketing.   Links Mentioned in Episode:   The 10X Rule Ben Hardy Show Highlights: Cate talks about how she built up a local clientele after moving from San Francisco to rural Idaho and Wyoming.  Timestamps:  0:25-2:17 - Introduction. 2:18-12:57 - Overcoming poverty mentality. 12:58-19:32 - Shifting your mindset: marketing as service.  19:33-24:43 - Changing your behavior: how to reach the people who need your service. 25:44-31:15 - Becoming obsessed with success: 10X your actions until you have the perfect formula. Favorite Quotes: “Marketing is a service.” --- Cate Stillman “You have to build a structure for your mind, and you do that by taking different action.” --- Cate Stillman “There's nothing weird, or slimy, or not helping people about marketing. It's a fear of either being seen, being out there, standing in the conviction of ‘I know something that can help someone.'” --- Cate Stillman  “Doing things differently usually brings up discomfort in people, just like, I mean, holding a two-minute handstand brings up discomfort unless you're holding a two-minute handstand every night. They're no different. It's all tapas, right? So why is marketing, why is that not the funnest thing for you to do? Like, you wake up and get out of bed, and say, ‘I get to help people for free.'” --- Cate Stillman   Guest BIO: Lea Horvatic is a Yoga Health Coach with 30 years experience in Naturopathy, Nutrition and Vibrational medicine. She started doing yoga at the age of 9, and began to share it with others 10 years aqo. Lea's co-founded Sutra Journal, an online magazine on Tantric Philosophy and Arts in 2015, and collaborated with projects at MIT Pune, India and Exeter, UK as part of the The Centre For Biofield Sciences & Biofield Research in 2000. Lea's healing journey began when she was 20, and moved to London following the years of domestic abuse, teen debauchery and strife. In spite of not knowing anyone in the UK, nor having any money, or even an idea how she will deal with all the logistics, she had ONE motivating reason - to find out how to reconnect with her life's path and serve and be happy. The journey was challenging and inspiring, and continues to be so. At the age of 22 she was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and this pushed her deeper into study of ways of altering the body's frequency to access healing and health on all levels. Surfer of life, experimenter and a hedonist, she always loves a good laugh.      

What do you desire? Unearth buried dreams in the New Years Dharma Workshop with Cate and awaken where you want to go next!   What you’ll get out of tuning in: Identify your desires, frustrations, recurring issues. How to own who you’ve been in the past. Unearth how you want to feel, what you want to know and who you want to hang out with.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Order Cate Stillman's new book "Master of You" Have a conversation   Show Highlights: Cate gets ruthlessly honest about what she believes. Cate explains the image of the spiral, where the future is bigger, brighter and more aligned.  Cate shares her ambition for the year ahead to double her income and work 30 hours a week.   Timestamps:  9:20 The reason Western women might feel disconnected from their intuition and raised to mistrust their inner guidance. 28:16 What are your recurring issues? Reflect on where you’re out of integrity around your to-do list, money, relationships, home environment, at work or daily habits. 30:02 Tapasya and the hard work of practice to accomplish growth. 44:14 Why Cate believes you are your best investment.   Favorite Quotes:  “I believe dharma or purpose unfolds in chapters, in waves, and in sets. And this to me is really super important because if we’ve come to dharma from a perspective of you have to have 1 BIG THING to do here in your life, it can be quite overwhelming. It can make the process of understanding your next aligned actions seem scary, big and that you can get it wrong. It can seem like it’s too hard to handle, too big to manage.” - Cate Stillman “There’s the pulsation of action, and there’s the pulsation of reflection.” - Cate Stillman  “What do you want? And what are you frustrated by? Think of these elements of life; your home, your body, your ambition, your time and your experience of flow. When we’re in integrity in all aspects of our life we experience flow.” Cate Stillman “You can even take a deathbed perspective. What would an accomplished life be for you? And I would even go a bit beyond your wildest dreams. If we go back to the buried dreams, what would unfettered you accomplish in this lifetime? And of that, what seems the most up in this next chapter, in this next set of waves. What are you here to do, when your light is fully shining, when you’ve chosen to support yourself with the right people to get it done. I believe your potential matters. I believe what you want to accomplish matters. In the grandest version, and also in the next version.” Cate Stillman “In order to accomplish what you said you want to accomplish, what do you need to know? And this is the time to not be cocky. This is the time to not assume you already know how to do what you need to do to accomplish what you want to accomplish. It’s the time to deeply start questioning ‘do I really have what it takes to do what I want to accomplish?’ And if not, what do I probably need to know in order to do that. And again there’s no shame, no guilt, there’s none of that. It’s just honesty.” - Cate Stillman “There’s a belief in yoga that you are completely free. It’s the highest belief of yoga. That who you are is unbound. When we live in that way, like, I could have as much time as I want, I could have as much money as I want, I could have as much bliss as I want. As much joy, as much ease, as much impact. When we’re attuned to that we’re attuned to who we are at our essence.” - Cate Stillman

In today’s podcast, Rachel Peters and I reflect upon our past experiences at Yogahealer Live Events, and why we feel so refreshed after each and every time. We unravel the feeling of identity evolution and what it means to be a leader by just showing up at the retreats. Just one day at a Live Event has been life changing for so many, so tune in to discover why so many people leave the retreats with an entirely newfound perspective on their lives, and the lives of others.   What you’ll get out of tuning in: A deeper look at the benefits of going out of the daily routine of life to experience life through a new lens at the event. What it means to become a leader through engaging in this life-changing event. An understanding of how we can evolve our community at home through experiencing this retreat. Rachel Peters describes that the live Yogahealer events assist her in getting out of her daily routine and comfortability. She fees enabled to step out of her habits and routine and take a few days to look at herself, her life, her business, and her family from a whole new perspective. Cate explains that the activities at the retreat are very liberating but structured at the same time. Where people are paired into small groups to do specific types of activities that have their own structure and form. What people often discover is how to get out of their own way in life! It’s an amazing opportunity for growth with people who are going through similar struggles in life. It's a place where we can be vulnerable and dig deep down to understand the hurdles we’re facing in our personal and professional life.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Rachel’s website Be a coach Have a conversation Discover more about Body Thrive  Yogahealer VIP Live Events Yogahealer Live Experience   Show Highlights: 1:48-3:07- Rachel gives her take on the values and lessons that she personally gains from each experience at Yogahealer live events. 3:25- The participants that attend the Yogahealer live events get to step into a role of leadership for the Iives of many others, for simply knowing the information they do, and having the valuable experience of the retreat. 4:00- The people at the retreat get to participate in many perception-altering activities that leave them looking at their life, their work, and the lives of others in a completely new way. 7:22- One older individual who is showing up as a leader for her family and explains how the attendees are becoming leaders be just being there. They become leaders for their families, communities, yoga studios, and many others because of the knowledge and experienced they’ve gained access to at the retreat. 8:46- Rachel feels as though the retreat has always been a worthy investment for her progression in life. It is so important to invest in your own health education   Favorite Quotes: “What’s cool to see in even people living with Ayurveda, or in Body Thrive, who aren’t in our wellness pro career track, how much the self leadership, family leadership, and community leadership component is getting developed because of these live experiences.” - Cate Stillman “There’s all this identity evolution. What happens is we start to realize that were leaders. There’s just this authenticity, vulnerability, adaptability, resilience— all the signs of being rooted.” - Cate Stillman “You are your own best investment.” - Cate Stillman   Guest BIO: Since 2001 Rachel has been supporting others through body, mind and heart-based yoga classes, trainings, mentoring and workshops.

These simultaneously launched her into a clear vision and daily approach of what she needed to do in order to thrive in the modern world. She now offers Ayurvedic Living immersions to help you to get light in your body, clear in your mind, and thrive in your life. Connect with Rachel on her website.

On today’s show, Rod Stryker and I continue our conversation on the deeply healing and transformative practice of Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra essentially translates to the ‘end of all thoughts’ because it is a process in which we learn to let go, to relax and restore, to diffuse our awareness, and to just BE. We’ve created a world where we are always doing something; with our Iphones and tablets constantly by our sides and work or life stressors always on our minds, we are continually thinking, working, or moving. We are hardly ever still, and we are never bored anymore! With a lack of daydreaming or boredom, we are unable to fully process and digest our emotions or experiences, and in turn we unable to know our true selves. If we don’t allow ourselves the time and space to dissolve, to daydream and to relax, even the simplest of tasks will become very difficult for us to accomplish. Life isn’t about learning to cope, to mitigate, or to be only partly insane….it’s about Thriving. Listen in and learn how to live a life of Thrive with this timeless practice of Yoga Nidra.     What you’ll get out of tuning in: Why are Deep Rejuvenation, boredom and daydreaming so important? How do we avoid going to sleep while we’re awake? What is America’s number one health crisis and why is this cause for serious concern?   Links Mentioned in Episode: Rod’s website Rod’s facebook page Yoga Nidra Meditation app- Sanctuary with Rod Stryker Stealing Fire by Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal Yoga Health Coaching Have a conversation   Show Highlights: 1:08- Rod talks about the final of the 4 stages of Yoga Nidra. Spirituality, as well as the 4 fundamental stages of Nidra. 6:00- What does a lack of daydreaming and boredom do to us physiologically? If we don’t get bored, we don’t process who we are in time and space. Who am I? What do I stand for? What do I want to do on this planet in this life? In our fast-paced, technological world, we do not allow space for boredom and we are therefore unable to answer these important questions. 13:30- The state of expanded awareness that comes from Yoga Nidra, ie. Flow state, biohacking, and maximizing cognitive function. How do we avoid habitual thinking and how to we avoid going to sleep while we’re awake? 20:50- We can no longer afford to not be passionate about finding what is true, what is real, and what is truly important. Learn to tune into yourself with Yoga Nidra, to learn to not push against what the body and mind desires, to drop into yourself and allow. Insomnia is currently the biggest health crisis. If you continue to push your nervous system too much for too long, there will be repercussions.   Favorite Quotes: “It’s about allowing these awareness breaks, instead of coffee breaks.” -Cate Stillman   “You are the presence that exists in your own heart.” -Rod Stryker “We need times with no-thing.” -Cate Stillman “You’ve got to root to rise, you’ve got to get down to get up.” -Cate Stillman “Our problems have now gotten bigger. There is a bigger price to pay for the misalignment with the authentic self.” -Rod Stryker   Guest BIO: Yogarupa Rod Stryker is a world-renowned yoga and meditation teacher, guiding and sharing his wisdom for 40 years.

If you’ve been following along with Season One of this podcast, or even if you just saw the name “Fearless Self-Love Podcast,” it’s pretty clear that we focus on topics of self-love and self-care. But it’s important to acknowledge that we’re all at different points in our self-love journeys, and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out where to start. I’m excited for you to join me in my conversation with Cate Stillman, Yoga Health Coach, as we wrap up Season One by discussing what comes first - the habits or the self-love - and how to move forward no matter where we are in our journey.

Tapping modern culture into ancient traditions is what Yogahealer has always been about and continues to become next!

In this Changemaker Challenge Career Clarity Session, Cate chats with Yoga Health Coach Dana Skoglund about how building a signature system or leveraging an existing signature system can propel your wellness career to the next level. Building a signature system involves codifying your life's work coupled with what you've learned from others into a system that is succinct and easy to integrate. Dana has successfully used and expanded upon Cate's Yoga Health Coaching System to create her own signature systems. Leveraging an existing system requires a growth mindset – the ability to learn from and benefit from someone else's work. Is your native genius to build and create your own system, or would you benefit more from leveraging your own system? Listen in as Cate and Dana discuss how Wealth Dynamics can help you determine your best course of action. Once you've decided which course of action is right for you, using tools to develop and refine your system, allows you to see its strengths and weaknesses. Creating and emphasizing codified language around your system makes it easier for clients and course members to identify and understand key components of your system. Finally, the success of your system is dependent on your ability to constantly refine and upgrade the user experience.   What you'll get out of tuning in:   How committing to a growth mindset allows you to see the value and wisdom in systems that are unfamiliar to you.     How learning, using, and teaching someone else's system can propel your career to the next level.     How using tools can help you see the strengths and weaknesses in your own signature system.     Links: Body Thrive Yoga Health Coaching  Changemaker Challenge  Bowspring Yoga Wealth Dynamics Dubsado Mindset by Carol Dweck Draw Backwards Tint  Show Highlights: 1:00 - A system codifieds your life's work coupled with what you've learned from others into a system that is succinct and easy to integrate. 1:40 - The ability to learn from and benefit from someone else's system requires a beginner's mind, a growth mindset. 12:40 - Is your native genius to build and create your own system, or would you benefit more from leveraging your own system? 18:00 - Using tools to develop and refine systems, allows you to see the strengths and weaknesses in your signature system. 22:19 - Creating and emphasizing codified language around your system makes it easier for clients and course members to identify and understand key components of your system.   Your Favorite Quotes The more we already know something, the harder we make to really be able to receive someone else's zone of excellence and zone of genius and their incredible insight. --- Cate Stillman When you're learning a system that you're not familiar with, it's uncomfortable in the beginning. --- Dana Skoglund I find that knowing your system [Yoga Health Coaching], and having gone through that system and seeing what works about that system, allows me then to expand on it and create my own systems. --- Dana Skoglund What are you learning right now that you need to just turn around and teach? And by that I mean today or tomorrow or within the next 24 hours? Because if you put a delay on it, it just means that you're not going to be integrating what you're trying to learn. --- Cate Stillman You have to be always seeing what's the next way I can make this better and how can we improve on the old system. --- Dana Skoglund

Hello everyone! Today's podcast is another episode from the Changemaker Challenge with Grace and Cate, who discuss moving from stress to ease in marketing your business. Some of the big questions Cate and Grace tackle focus on where to invest your time and money: from blogs, to podcasts, to writing a book, to opening a brick and mortar location, there are many options for you to grow your business and reach a wider audience. What will be the best investment of your time and money, and how can you achieve the results you want to achieve? Tune in to learn how to ditch the slimy sales tactics and instead market your business through nurturance and ease.   What you'll get out of tuning in: How to move from stress to ease when marketing your business What step you should take before marketing that your business might be missing How to use feminine instead of masculine marketing   Links: Yoga Health Coaching  Yoga Health Coaching Changemaker Challenge Have a Conversation with Grace   Show Highlights: 5:00 - How are you going to get people to their end results? Once you have a process planned out for your clients, only then can you start marketing your product. 8:00 - Acutely listen to the people in your life: often, they are asking you for help, and you just have to pay attention. Then you can have a conversation with them to see if what you're offering can help. 11:30 - By nurturing your potential clients before they start your courses, they will get to their results more efficiently and easefully. And even if they never join your paid offerings, you will have positively impacted their lives. 20:00 - Many people are worried about giving away their best offerings for free. But most of the time, people can't get to the results on their own, and they need someone to help them get there: this is where you come in. 22:00 - You don't have to buy into masculine marketing! Instead of a competitive approach, you can have one that is collaborative and easeful. Who is already trying to get connected? Nurture those relationships, and see how your business grows.   Favorite Quotes: "Once they know where you're standing, and they can see you…, what happens next?" - Cate Stillman "You've got to attract the people you actually want." - Cate Stillman "Marketing: you get to give it away." - Cate Stillman "I'm tired of the old way of doing marketing… It's kind of time- and soul-sucking." - Grace Edison "It's shifting the way we see marketing into sharing, into nurturance." - Grace Edison "Taking care of people before they pay you: that's marketing." - Cate Stillman

Often, we tell ourselves that it takes a certain type of person to achieve the things we want in life, and that we just don't have what it takes. We come up with all kinds of reasons that we can't do what we want, or be who we want to be. We get stuck in old mental patterns, or sanskaras, and believe that this is just the way life is.   In today's episode, Cate and Grace talk about all the ways we disqualify ourselves, and how we can break out of these limiting beliefs and outdated patterns to design the person we want to be, the business we want to create, and the life we want to live. You don't have to be a certain kind of person to do the things you want to do. You don't have to wait for someone else to give you permission or encouragement. You can have it all, but you have to decide you want it, and change the way you think to get it.   So tune in to find out how you might be limiting yourself, and how you can change to unlock the person you want to become next. What you'll get out of tuning in: Why you are never too old (or too young) to make a change What you've written off, and why you should reconsider How to break free from your sanskaras and design the life you want Links: Jill Runnion Website Plan your 2018 Webinar   Show Highlights: 0:30 - You are never too old to make change! In fact, it might actually be easier to learn new things because of the years of wisdom you have to learn from. 7:20 - Sanskaras are like ruts or grooves in neural pathways: they are unconscious replays of the same mental pattern. By shifting those thoughts, you're already breaking out of those grooves, you're already making progress. 11:30 - Get into a group that's propelling growth, and that can be your support system for your own personal evolution. 13:30 - Don't wait for someone else to tell you to do something. Whatever you want to do, whoever you want to become next, you can do right now, without someone else's permission. 15:30 - The more complex you become physically, mentally, and emotionally, the simpler your lifestyle becomes, and the more you can experience bliss and joy.   Your Favorite Quotes: "How do you design for what you want, instead of just the replay?" - Cate Stillman "You know a lot of these things about yourself, but sometimes they almost become blind spots, and it takes somebody else to come and say [it]." - Grace Edison "There's a practice of becoming who we want to be. It's just a practice." - Grace Edison "I remind myself that I have so much more to learn, and that's exciting. It doesn't disqualify me. It doesn't mean I can't do it." - Grace Edison "Stop waiting for someone else to tell you how great you are before you do what you really want to do." - Cate Stillman

Hello, it's Cate Stillman with yogahealthcoaching.com and yogahealer.com, and I've been asked to finish the series on overweight-ness in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. So you may have heard the episode on overweight Vatas, or the episode on overweight Pittas, and not the episode on overweight Kaphas, because I hadn't created it until right this moment. Often, when someone is overweight, they assume they are Kapha. As an Ayurvedic practitioner, we think, "Hmmm, maybe. But maybe not." And yet sometimes, the person that we're talking to is indeed an overweight Kapha, that their prakruthi, their constitution, is Kapha, and that the nature of their imbalance, or vikruthi, is also Kapha. And that's unusual. It's unusual enough that I created the overweight Vata and the overweight Pitta episodes: That's where you have an overweight Vata person – their prakruthi is Vata – and their imbalance also might be Vata-provoking Kapha. Or it might be an overweight Pitta, and the imbalance might be a Vata or a Pitta imbalance-provoking Kapha, or a Kapha imbalance. But the thing is, Kapha imbalances are pretty unusual in this day and age. Tune in to find out why, and to find out whether or not your extra pounds are really the cause of Kapha. What you'll get out of tuning in: How to tell if your extra weight is really a kapha imbalance When and how much kaphas should eat in a day Where to leverage kapha strengths to your advantage   Links: Overweight Vata Podcast  Overweight Pitta Podcast Show Highlights: 1:15 - Kapha imbalance is actually rare in this day and age! While this may seem strange because we have such a sedentary and heavy-diet culture, the vibration and pace of life is really quite hectic. 5:40 - Kaphas are strong, stable, faithful, trustworthy, and dependable. They naturally accumulate people, friends, money, and bodily tissue. In order to befriend your kapha constitution, you have to get in touch with this accumulation tendency. 11:00 - As a kapha, you can afford give away. As you realize how much you can give away physically, you become lighter, brighter, more inspired, and more mobile, and you realize how much service you can be to humanity. 12:30 - Kaphas really only need to eat 1-2 meals a day, which may sound terrible! But if you look at it from an energetic standpoint, you'll realize that you'll save so much time that you otherwise would have spent buying, preparing, and eating food. 17:00 - A Kapha's deepest bliss is nurturing the people, the causes, and the projects they care most about. Learn to leverage those gifts through service and connection, rather than carrying that generosity in your physiology. Favorite Quotes: "For a Kapha to befriend their constitution, it often means getting really in touch with their accumulation tendency." - Cate Stillman "We're meant to be relaxed, and attuned, and sophisticated in understanding the nature of who we are, in understanding our strengths and our weaknesses." - Cate Stillman "You can stay strong and stable, and give away. As you do that, you become lighter and brighter, more inspired, and more mobile." - Cate Stillman "Awaken this power of your own natural abundance." - Cate Stillman "In giving away, you feel more and more fulfilled." - Cate Stillman  

Welcome Anna Welle as our newest Yoga Health Coaching Coach of the Month! Anna comes from an Ayurvedic background: she studied with the Kerala Academy to become an Ayurvedic Practitioner, and through her education had the opportunity to intern at an Ayurvedic hospital in Kerala, India, as well as Ayurvedagram in Bangalore, India focusing on panchakarma therapies. While her education led her deep into the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, she found that she wasn't prepared to actually create a business as an Ayurvedic practitioner until she went through her Yoga Health Coaching certification. Tune in to learn about how Anna gained practical skills and knowledge to help people create deep and lasting change in their lives through the tools provided in Yoga Health Coaching, and how anyone can use these tools on their path of personal evolution.   What you'll get out of tuning in: How to use small, incremental improvements as a technique for behavioral change Why group behavior change is more effective than striving to change on your own What you need to know about dinacharya and its effects on health   Show Highlights: 2:00 - Often, holistic health programs provide a wide array of knowledge about healing traditions and pathophysiology, but don't teach the practical application of business for after a certification is acquired. Yoga Health Coaching fills that gap by teaching practical business and coaching skills to future wellness entrepreneurs. 5:00 - Dinacharya, or Ayurvedic habits, as well as the behavioral science components of Yoga Health Coaching, are key to helping people change foundational habits to reach their desired results. This is often under-utilized or ignored in Ayurvedic pathogenesis schooling, but they are often the most powerful way of healing. 13:15 - Kaizen, or small and continual improvement, is a powerful behavioral technique for change. The Kaizen approach helps minimize the daunting task of behavioral evolution, and makes it much more manageable: it helps a person step forward in hope, instead of shrinking back in fear. 17:20 - Clients thrive much more in a group than one-on-one with a practitioner. The group of people moving toward Thrive creates a momentum that couldn't happen without that network of support and collaboration. 19:30 - A group striving toward the same goal not only provides support, but it also provides opportunity for leadership. This helps people look up to someone for encouragement, but also creates much more self-reflection and therefore evolution acceleration for the leaders themselves.   Your Favorite Quotes "First and foremost, you have to have that foundation." - Anna Welle "How many Ayurvedic practitioners are not actually in line with these most basic habits of dinacharya, and therefore can't even spot the big, critical habits that are out of sync in their client?" - Cate Stillman "There's something really elegant about being able to… identify their keystone habit, which is a behavioral science component of Yoga Health Coaching that we really don't see in Ayurveda school." - Cate Stillman "You don't realize how important it is until you start learning about it and doing it." - Anna Welle "You're not sitting back in fear: you're stepping forward in hope." - Cate Stillman "It's too hard, going at it by yourself… you need the support, you need the group, you need the conversation, you need the other people who are going through the challenges of making those little changes." - Anna Welle   BIO:   Anna is an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Yoga Health Coach, Reiki Therapist, and Initiate as a Priestess of the Moon. She loves working with young women who are committed to personal growth and better health, with an interest in Ayurveda and understanding how to nuance and customize their own self care.   Connect with Anna on her Facebook and Website.

Tune in and learn how to: Use your own story of finding Thrive to help others make the shift in their lives Help your clients fall into their own rhythm by adopting the lifestyle habits Leverage financial sacrifice to help people really commit to upleveling their habits through your course Reflect back what people tell you in their own words to help them realize the gravity of what they're saying Ask AWE (And What Else) to encourage people to share more     In this episode I rap with Lynn Taylor about: Tips on strategic onboarding and how it can help you: Learn which students are ready to commit to finding their Thrive through your course Prepare your potential clients for the coming course Trade on your results rather than on your time Find your tribe!   Show Highlights: 7:35 – Instead of looking at specific illnesses and diseases as separate, we should investigate the similarities between them in order to paint a picture of how people are breaking down, and figure out what we can do to repair them. 10:10 – As a Yoga Health Coach, sharing your story with your clients can help them relate to you and realize that they need to make a shift in their lives. 21:10 – You don't have to know the ins and outs of every disease your clients may have. All you have to know is how to help them fall into their own rhythm, and the rest will take care of itself. 25:30 – Don't give away your talents for free! Your experience is worthy of capital, AND it's actually beneficial for your students to sacrifice something in order to make a commitment to your course. 28:20 – You don't have to fix everything about a person's life within a single strategy session. Pause and get the full picture of a person, take in the gravity of what they've told you, and then reflect everything back to them. Only then should you proceed with overhauling their health and lifestyle issues. 31:50 – Onboarding participants to your course should be a strategic process: only take on individuals who are truly ready to dive in and give it their all. If they aren't ready, they won't gain anything from the course, and they'll just take away from the course for everyone else participating. If they are ready, it's a Win-Win-Win: A win for the person joining because they'll learn much more from the course A win for the rest of the students in the course because that person is actively and productively participating A win for you because it allows you to go deeper with all of your students, and be financially compensated along the way.

She first moved to Los Angeles to become a television executive, and found herself struggling with chronic health issues that began in the early eighties and recurred on and off until she joined Yogahealer's Living Ayurveda Course. The habits she practiced throughout her life had taken their toll on her body, mind, and spirit, but she found that when she upleveled her habits with LAC, her chronic disease symptoms took care of themselves. After witnessing the transformation this course had on her own life, Lynn became a Certified Yoga Health Coach. She now inspires people to live a more vibrant life by sharing her story and helping them realize their potential and find their Thrive.

    Gin was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune disease which causes the immune system to attack the thyroid, four years ago. Since then, she has set forth on a journey to learn exactly what works for her body, not only to eliminate symptoms, but to actually thrive. She shares how the habits of Body Thrive have helped her get in touch with her body, ensuring that she gets exactly what she needs while staying away from the things which will push her out of balance and toward inflammation.   She has found through group learning that though other people may appear to get away with bad habits without signs of deterioration, these habits end up causing problems in the body and mind down the road.

Her testimony can be used not only for people struggling with an autoimmune disease, but anyone who wants to truly thrive in body and mind.   What you'll get out of tuning in: Why it's important for all people to get in touch with their bodies' needs How to understand what your body needs How group work can help orient you toward connectedness and thrive   Links Mentioned in Your Episode: Pure Life NC Body Goals Session   Show Highlights: 0:50 Gin describes how the habits of Body Thrive help her day-to-day energy levels and immune function 4:30 Gin and Cate discuss the law of Karma and how everyone is ultimately affected by their habits 7:40 Gin and Cate talk about getting in touch with the self and aligning energy, time, and relationships 11:45 Gin recounts how a group dynamic helped her to recognize that she wasn't alone, and that everyone should practice good life habits in order to thrive   Your Favorite Quotes "No one is getting away with anything!
