Podcast appearances and mentions of nicole cardoza

A magician spins a black top hat to show their audience it's empty. Then, with the wave of a wand and a few magic words, PRESTO: a snow white rabbit pokes its ears over the brim. Compared to sawing a person in half, pulling a rabbit out of a hat is a joyful bit of magic that entertainers have been doing for more than 200 years. But after the applause dies down, one is left wondering: where did the rabbit come from? And where did it go? Today, in honor of the Easter Bunny (who doesn't actually appear in this episode), we're pulling a handful of rabbit stories out of our proverbial hat. But be warned: these are dark tales of disappearing pets, occult eugenicists, and animal sacrifice. The secrets behind some magic tricks are more shocking than others. Featuring Nicole Cardoza, Gwyne Henke, Suzanne Loui, Sally Master, Ana DiMaria, Tanya Singer, and Meg Crane. Produced by Nate Hegyi, Marina Henke, Kate Dario, and Justine Paradis.

"Tone policing is one of many ways that dominant culture 'polices' people of color. It is often used – whether subconsciously or intentionally – to put this person 'back in their place.' It doesn’t just attempt to discredit what the person is saying. It implies that they are not worthy of the time and attention until they play by the rules of the oppressor. And these rules are rooted in sexist and racist ideals of how marginalized people are 'supposed to act' in society today. " - Nicole Cardoza, Anti-Racism Daily, October 22, 2020. Like what you hear?

This week's episode of #WeGotGoals features content from the #Sweatworking Summit - and honestly, it's been challenging to wait to post this until now. During Nicole Cardoza's keynote, the crowd was moved and I was a human goosebump. Connecting with Cardoza and hearing her say, "yes" to speaking at the #Sweatworking Summit helped us to create something that we were truly proud of. Cardoza is the brains behind Anti-Racism Daily, Wellemental, and the author of Mindful Moves. She's also the creator of Reclamation Ventures, which invests in underestimated entrepreneurs in the wellness industry. And she delivered a keynote with a poise that felt superhuman given what she and Texas - where she zoomed in from - had gone through that week. The week of the #Sweatworking Summit was the very same one during which Texas was hit with a winter that led to the death of at least 26 people and the loss of power and safe water for millions in the state. You'll hear her reference that as well as the response to community need in Texas throughout the talk. You'll also hear some of the parallels between what happened in Texas and the state of the wellness industry in her talk. But the central and guiding question for Cardoza's work is this: "What would it look like if we were operating in a system where being well was a right?" And when you think about her career and what she's built, of course that's the question. Equity, access, and information for children to learn yoga and mindfulness, for underestimated BIPOC founders creating wellness businesses, and for all communities to simply be well. The world of wellness she's building is one of abundance. "There is enough for all of us to have access to wellbeing and wellness," she said. "It takes community care for all of us to be well - otherwise it’s an individual practice." Listen to the whole talk in Apple and Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Resources:At the start of her talk, you'll hear Nicole deliver a land acknowledgement.

With the 2020 elections just on the other side of this month, voting is top of mind for a lot of people. There's a lot at stake in this election, and if you're turning to fitness to sweat the stress away, you're probably not the only one. But fitness and voting have even more to do with each other than you'd think. Your access to workout spaces — whether that's a local park with a track or a boutique studio — is fundamentally shaped by voting, says Nicole Cardoza, a yoga instructor and founder of Yoga Foster and the newsletter Anti-Racism Daily. "There are systemic issues perpetuated in the studios we hold dear and in the spaces that we occupy when we're trying to be well," Cardoza says. "So when we want to feel well in studios, it's really about looking at that overarching system of racism and dismantling it. A lot of that, especially in the next few weeks, comes down to the actions we take at our polls." Pretty much everything about your gym or fitness studio is shaped by who's in office in your area, Cardoza explains, pointing in particular to access to public transportation, instructor pay, and basic neighborhood safety where studios are located. T'Nisha Symone, founder of luxury fitness club BLAQUE, tells Bustle that zoning laws have a lot to do with the presence — or lack thereof — of accessible fitness spaces in Black and brown neighborhoods. "State and local governments decide how neighborhoods are constructed and as a result, what kind of fitness and wellness behaviors the people in these communities will have access to," she explains. "Whether or not these resources are available is something that can and should inform our voting behaviors at the local level." Access to fitness resources has to do with both private and public interests. A 2019 analysis conducted by Bloomberg found that franchises like CrossFit, Barry's Boot Camp, and Pure Barre are usually located in neighborhoods that are over 80% white. Of the other 13 fitness franchises included in the analysis, 12 were also located in areas with an average of 70-80% white people. The data also revealed that clubs like Equinox and SoulCycle are often located in gentrifying neighborhoods, drawing in more affluent and white clientele rather than serving the often BIPOC, low-income communities that have been living there. "Wellness is political," says Helen Phelan, a Pilates instructor who specializes in body neutrality and mindfulness. "To serve only one type of person is political. To avoid making a statement or 'getting political' is a privilege and a political statement all in itself." What people learn, say, and even wear in studios is also political. "If you say 'namaste' at the end of your practice or wear Mala beads, you need to be standing up for racial injustice," says Ali Duncan, a yoga instructor and the founder of Urban Sanctuary, the first women-run, Black-owned yoga studio in Denver, Colorado. "So many studios have appropriated a different culture than their own without giving recognition to that culture, nor have they stood up for racial injustices. It has become a trend or the norm to take what you want for the benefit of financial gain and forget, or not even care, to learn where it came from." Voting can open up physical wellness spaces to people from marginalized communities to make fitness culture richer, without appropriation. "Right now, the fitness industry, like all industries, functions based on capital and who has it," Symone explains. "Economic disparities are linked with health disparities. This means that those who suffer the most from preventable health-related illnesses have the least economic means to invest in their own longevity and quality of life." By voting, Symone explains that you can contribute to shaping policies that influence who can safely access fitness spaces. Economically, that might mean reimagining health insurance benefits to include things like gym memberships, or advocating for policies that end redlining or food deserts, which can help improve people's wellness holistically. You might also consider voting for a candidate who's campaigned for broader access to parks, or who's advocated for policies to curb gentrification. But even if someone has economic access to wellness spaces, that doesn't mean fitness activities are safe for everyone to participate in publicly. This is also something voting has an impact on. "Neighborhoods that do have accessible outdoor fitness spaces have the added threat that comes with police brutality and racial profiling," Symone tells Bustle. "Community safety involving police services are organized by state and local governments. These are massive deterrents to regularly engaging in outdoor wellness-based activities for Black people and many people of color." By voting, Symone says that you can impact decisions about community safety on local and national levels, potentially protecting people trying to go for a jog in their neighborhood. "Promoting diversity isn’t enough; we have to address the issues that make diversity necessary," says Emma Middlebrook, the founder of REP Movement, a workout space in Portland, Oregon that emphasizes body affirmation, anti-racism, and queerness. "Bodies are highly politicized. Standards of health and beauty are embedded with racist ideas and the fitness industry thrives on a culture of whiteness and heterosexuality. People with trans bodies, Black bodies, women's bodies, and bodies of size have felt let down, unseen, unheard, and unsafe in more traditional gym settings." Voting helps shape what kinds of gym settings are available to people, creating opportunities to feel safe and welcome in fitness spaces — and your vote can help do just that. Are you ready for Election Day? Start by registering to vote and making a plan for Nov. 3.

It seems as if things are moving so fast right now. With less than a full month until the 2020 elections, we over here at Unlearn And Relearn are keeping up as much as we can. We had a huge development in the Breonna Taylor investigation and because of that we wanted to take this time to break her story down and talk about how we came to know her, what has happened in the last few weeks regarding the investigation, and the inspiration her life has had on all of us fighting for justice. This episode is dedicated to her memory not as way to leave it in the past but as a call to action to push forward and inform more people because this is the work and we have dedicated our lives to be involved. There are good days and not so good days. No matter what, we will keep pushing and fighting, loving, and holding each other up. We also take the time to say the names of our fallen this week, Damian Daniels and Alteria Woods and we highlight awesome activists, Nicole Cardoza and Slauson Girl. Two Black womxn doing amazing work in this social justice space. We say this every week but on a emotionally heavy week like this one, we want to thank you so much for taking the time to give us a listen. As always, thanks for hanging with us as we unlearn the BS and relearn the good stuff.

This episode is special. Not that kind of special but the other kind of special. Yeah, that one. We have more to give our listeners and we want to thank you so much for hanging with us so we have another extra episode for you, because you earned it. In this extra special Friday episode, we cover the topic of Racism in the Wellness Space. Racism has pervaded every aspect of human existence in our current world. You can't turn over a rock without seeing how another industry has been negatively affected by the worst parts or prejudice and discrimination. From fitness to fashion, art and sports, racism is in everything. What made the people of the wellness industry, my industry, think it would be any different? Using the story of Nicole Cardoza, Kathryn Budig, and the Yoga Journal controversy as our jumping off point, we dive deep and explore how implicit bias, well-meaning language, and overt discrimination finds it way underneath the masks of smiles, inclusion, diversity, and Namaste. Again and as always, thanks so much for hanging with us as we unlearn the BS and relearn the good stuff.

Last week my guest Eliana Chinea spoke about some of the issues that arise in the typical yoga studio model - and inside of The Teachers Club we questioned weather the studio model, as we know it, will go extinct. It's true that studio after studio are closing their doors. Many of them were in real financial trouble before the pandemic, and the closures were the last straw. However, I believe that there will always be a demand for a place where people can gather in person, in community. And as past podcast guest Nicole Cardoza says, the studios that survive will have to shift their value proposition. So this week I'm pumped to bring you a conversation I had with Robin Lacambra before covid closed the world. Robin runs Good Body Feel, what I'm calling a socially conscious yoga studio. Robin runs GBF on a dramatically different business model than 99% of the other yoga studios out there. Right now, getting creative, and thinking outside the box are what will help us adapt and reinvent what the yoga industry can become.Robin and I discuss:Why the body is political - and what that meansWhy diversity in leadership is so importantRunning a socially conscious yoga studioThe 4 pillars Robin uses to measure success in her businessRunning a ‘pay what you can’ sliding scale movement studioFIND ROBINRobin’s Personal InstagramGOODBODYFEEL InstagramGOODBODYFEEL WebsiteFIND CORACora’s InstagramCora’s NewsletterThe Teachers ClubFor links & resources mentioned in this episode go to www.corageroux.com/podcastepisodes/episode23Support the show (https://www.corageroux.com/theteachersclub)

Nicole is one of those people that I definitely felt was way too cool to talk to me, especially since we scheduled the interview, Nicole is now the face of Nike's Spring 2020 Yoga campaign. Not to mention her plentiful accolades, multiple not-for-profit businesses and the fact that she is an all around changemaker in wellness - I felt truly lucky to have the opportunity to speak with her. I first learned of Nicoles work, sadly, due to the mess that Yoga Journal made after her cover shoot last June. Since that time, I’ve been watching Nicole spread her message of reclaiming wellness, closing the wellness gap and making wellness accessible to all. She’s taken what could have been a career defining controversy, and parleid it into a launch pad for equity and justice. #impressedABOUT NICOLENicole is a serial entrepreneur passionate about the reclamation of wellness. As the founder and Executive Director of Yoga Foster, a national nonprofit that empowers educators with yoga and mindfulness resources for the classroom, she’s re-invested over $2.5M in resources from the wellness community to increase the health equity of schools across the country.After controversy with Yoga Journal over her cover feature for their August / September 2019 issue, Nicole’s work and mission went viral. From that experience, she launched Reclamation Ventures, a fund that invests in high-potential, underestimated entrepreneurs making wellness more accessible in their communities.She’s a 2017 Forbes 30 Under 30, 2020 Well + Good Changemaker, 2019 Summit Fellow and 2017 Camelback Ventures Fellow. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Well + Good, Mind Body Green, Yoga Journal, SELF Magazine, and Girlboss.In today's show, Nicole and I discuss:What the Wellness Gap isWhy inclusivity is deeper than who you put on your marketing materialsHow to make your business truly inclusive, and bring wellness to allWhy true inclusivity starts with the people behind the business A concrete way to start unpacking our own blind spots, and do the work to create inclusivity from the insideIntention vs. ImpactA definition of IntentionA definition of ImpactThe best analogy of intention vs. impact I’ve ever heardSpiritual bypassing in the yoga community to avoid accountabilityCommunity Care & Healing JusticeBuilding community into every part of your practiceHow the wellness industry operates within capitalism Unpacking what community really meansStarting a social impact organizationDeciding on a not-for-profit or for profit business structureUnderstanding not-for-profitsMission creep - what it is, and how to prevent itFIND NICOLENicole’s WebsiteNicole’s InstagramYoga Foster WebsiteReclamation Ventures WebsiteFIND CORACora's websiteCora's InstagramThe Teaching Yoga Podcast - LIVE in MelbourneThe Teacher's Club WaitlistFind the full show notes, and links to everything we discuss on my website

After having our culture and freedoms stripped from us during slavery, African-Americans have always struggled to define wellness within the context of the American majority. Let’s be honest, the odds have been stacked against us, which contributes to many of the health- and wellness-related issues our community faces.  In this third episode of our series ‘Forward’, we explore ways to promote not just physical, but emotional and mental health in 2020 and beyond. Join us as speaker, entrepreneur and mindfulness expert, Nicole Cardoza, explains how TRUE wellness goes beyond just the amount of exercise we get and what we eat, and teaches us how we can define wellness on our terms.Find more about Reclamation Ventures, funding, and grant opportunities for wellness entrepreneurs: https://www.reclamationventures.co/To order Justin’s newly released book, Stay Woke, visit: http://www.staywokegiveback.com

This week’s show is part 1 of a 2-part series on the wellness industrial complex, and all the ways it manipulates women and makes us poorer. First up, we’re tackling yoga culture in particular, because of how ubiquitous it has become in western society, and just how problematic that is. We talk with Tejal Patel and Jesal Parikh of the Yoga Is Dead podcast about how yoga has been culturally appropriated from its roots in India and from Desi people today, and Tanja draws on her long career teaching yoga to delve into yoga’s problems with economics and inclusivity.

She has been featured in Self, mindbodygreen, GirlBoss, was named on Forbes' 30 Under 30, and was most recently on the August 2019 cover of Yoga Journal (to name a few). She is the founder and executive director of both Yoga Foster (which is a national non-profit that empowers educators with yoga and mindfulness resources in the classroom) and Reclamation Ventures (a grant fund that invests in high-potential, underestimated entrepreneurs making wellness more accessible in their communities). Together, we dig in to what inspired her wellness journey, high-light the social power of her businesses, and talk about the necessary support we can provide to change the game. Plus, enjoy a two minute "Flower/Candle" breathing meditation for personal use or within your classroom, led by Nicole Cardoza herself.  For more information, please read: https://www.nicoleacardoza.com/ @nicoleacardoza, @yogafoster, @reclamationventures --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/home-practice-with-halle/support

And we dig deep in the latest episode of CTZN Podcast. We tackle the wellness gap that separates who gets to be well and who doesn’t, we acknowledge how white supremacy is playing out in wellness, we confront the harm of corporations and institutions that continue to put profits over people. And we reckon with our own complicity and responsibility in participating in a system and culture that upholds inequity and exclusion and what we need to do about it.We’re in a really messy moment in the world—navigating big entrenched systems that are set up to keep some people well and some people out. But as Nicole reminds us, even as things fall apart, new ideas and innovations are emerging that are redefining wellness and what’s possible when we expose the myth of a wellness that is rooted in capitalism and white supremacy and invest in people and programs that take care of everyone.Join CTZNWELL on PatreonFollow CTZNWELL on InstagramSign up for CTZNWELL’s weekly email WELLread and check out our free action guides at ctznwell.org.

Today’s guest is Nicole Cardoza, founder of Yoga Foster. I couldn't be more excited about Nicole's mission to bring more movement into classrooms across the country. Her approach is innovative, too -- Nicole's background in tech inspired her to create a platform that offers yoga curriculum and teacher trainings to classroom teachers. It's a scalable idea and one that empowers classroom teachers to bring mindfulness breaks into their classrooms throughout the day. I love the idea of yoga being incorporated into the school day in a seamless way. Nicole also opens up about her recent experience doing a cover shoot with Yoga Journal and how important it was for her to speak out about a surprise cover survey they did after the fact. I ask her how she handled a situation that was shaming, ignorant, and racist and turned it into an opportunity to help others.Show notes: http://www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode158SHOUT-OUT TO OUR SPONSORSSweaty Betty is a woman-owned activewear clothing company based in the U.K. that has great fabrics with phenomenal fit.
