Lauren believes that happiness is our true nature, and that yoga, gratitude, authenticity, compassion, creativity and community help us to cultivate happiness in our lives on an everyday basis.MY 5 BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:1- Stress is a precursor to mental illness. It underlines a lot of physical and psychological illnesses.Mental illness and mental health challenges are extremely common. In many western countries, 1 in 5 report a diagnosable mental illness in the last 12 months period. Another 1 in 5 people struggle without meeting the diagnosable caracterias. 2- Over half of yoga student report starting yoga for mental health reasons and more than 3/4 report continuing practicing for mental health reasons. 3- Creating a safe container in our classes is the first and most important thing we can do as a teacher to support our students, particularly those struggling with mental illness challenges. Be consistent and predictable, give permission to leave and leave the door unlock, use non-judgmental and inclusive language. Invite instead of insist, ask to notice instead of telling what their experience should be. Reduce likelihood of comparison and competition. Look at your own biases and beliefs. Be mindful of touch. Be fully present.4- You don't need to fix people that are having an emotional response during class. You can be there for them, notice what's happening, but oftentimes, there's nothing you actually need to do. We don't need to rescue them.5- Yoga isn't therapy but is therapeutic. Coming together in community, moving the body, mindfulness, practice to regulate our emotions, mood and the nervous system, exercice, are all things that are therapeutic.QUESTIONS SHE ANSWERED DURING THIS EPISODE:What in your life particularly brought you to want to focus your work on mental health and mental illness?Can you define mental illness?As yoga teachers, what should we know about mental illness?How can yoga teacher support students that come to yoga for mental health reasons? And how do we stay within our scope of practice while doing so?What creates a safe container in class?How can we ask permission to touch in a way that makes it easy and comfortable for people to say no.How can we be more present for our students?What should teachers watch out for to not be triggering, to not add on to trauma, or simply not to be counterproductive to their students needs?What are some therapeutic skills yoga teachers need to learn?Any tips for teachers that might have to deal with a moment of crisis in their class?SUBSCRIBE, RATE & REVIEW!DONATE OR BECOME AN EXCLUSIVE MEMBER TODAY.As always, I really appreciate your support with this podcast.

Hello and welcome to today’s episode of Decoding Purpose.Lisa Messenger is a name familiar to most people. For those of you who have not heard of Australia's magazine maverick, Lisa is the game-changing founder and CEO of the Collective Hub. She is also an international speaker, best-selling author, and an authority on disruption in both the corporate sector and the start-up scene. Most significantly, she is one of the most purpose driven women that I know which is why Lisa has been number one on my podcast wish list for quite some time.In 2013 Lisa launched Collective Hub as a print magazine with no experience, and in an industry that people said is either dead or dying. Collective Hub has since grown into an international multimedia business and lifestyle platform with multiple verticals across print, digital, and events – all of which serve to ignite human potential.I'm sure many of you listening today especially the entrepreneurs out there would have held The Collective Magazine in your hands or one of Lisa’s many books at a point in time, and if you are anything like me you would have cut the collective into pieces after reading it and collaged your office or bedroom walls with your favourite inspirational quotes. Lisa’s purpose is to be the ‘entrepreneur for entrepreneurs’ and that she is in every sense of the word.Before recording this interview, Lisa and I were chatting and I was reflecting on the fact that I had met her many years before she famously launched the collective magazine. We had shared an intimate dinner with mutual friends in around 2008 at Sydney's fox studios.We laughed about how long ago that was, however, upon reflection it was one of those poignant moments of gratitude because like so many others I had witnessed the rise of one of Australia's most prominent female entrepreneurs. I remember sitting with Lisa that night, and it was nearly impossible to fathom the journey she had been on since that night. The evolution of a purpose that we all got to watch in awe off from the stands.A purpose that was deep, daring, beautiful and bold. But also purpose that was heart achingly real, raw and required a level of resilience that would break many of us. Despite that in her evolution she kept it real as the entrepreneurs entrepreneur….even when it hurt. Even when it broke and even when the call of purpose whispered...let's do it again. Let's do it differently.We covered all of this and more so as you can imagine...Lisa and I had a lot of ground to cover. So much so that we decided to turn this episode of Decoding Purpose into two parts as a celebration of Lisa’s brand new book ‘Work from Wherever: How to set yourself free (and still achieve)’ which is available for pre sale today and will be released next week! Check out the show notes for links to the Collective Hub where you can biuy the book.In the first half of my incredibly candid conversation with Lisa, we talked about her personal sense of purpose, and how she has used adversity to crystallise this. We unpacked some of the trends covered in Work from Wherever, and we also talked openly about the iteration and constant evolution of the Collective Hub and the part her magazine and team played in setting herself up for new ventures.Purchase Lisa's new book 'Work From Wherever' at the following link: https://collectivehub.com/

What a fabulous person to kickstart the podcast - the woman who not only epitomises the "seize the yay" life philosophy, but who has dedicated her life to helping others do the same. Yep, our first guest is the entrepreneur for entrepreneurs, Lisa Messenger - CEO of Messenger Group, founder of globally acclaimed Collective Magazine, prolific author, inspiring speaker and all-round legend. When I met her a few years ago, I was completely taken aback by her uncensored, down to earth and crazily passionate nature belying the seriously successful CEO that she is on paper. She hasn't changed one bit and is all the more inspiring for her openness and authenticity. Her latest book, Risk and Resilience, shares in surprising detail the nitty gritty of her rollercoaster closure of the much-loved Collective Magazine and we caught up to chat a bit more about why the biggest loss in her career has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. If there's anything I wanted for Seize the Yay, it's to show some of the less glamorous behind the scenes of finding your "yay" and explore the ups and downs of creating a life you love. Lisa has gotten us off to an amazing start, showing the importance of pivoting, cultivating resilience and finding the silver lining. + Show notes are available here + Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah + Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!
