Podcasts about pleasance silicki

Wowza! Talk about cutting through the BS and and diving into the messy truth of spirituality on Earth (or at least in North America)! When I met Pleasance Silicki at her Lil ‘Omm yoga studio in 2013, how was I to know that she'd rock my world so deeply — each and every time we met! Pleasance went from being my yoga teacher, to business collaborator, to dear friend and now to fellow Priestess. And I'm so excited to share my reconnection with her — 9 years later — with you. In this episode, Pleasance he talks about her endless search for place in the world, the healing power of moon walks and cyclical living, honoring our bodies as temples of the soul, the importance of death ritual, sourcing wisdom from within. We speak to our taught resistance to ease and the rise of pleasure-validation, masculine structures that hold feminine flow. And of course, the way all of this supports us individually and collectively to be the activists that trailblaze the life-design and social-design needed to create a more inclusive and just world for ALL. Get ready to be blown away by this courageous multi-passionate, incredibly wise teacher and fire walker!

Pleasance Silicki is all heart and soul.  She is formally trained in Ayurvedic medicine, a teacher of yoga and uses those principles to build a life she loves every single day.  She was a former school principal and then owned her own yoga studio for years. Now, she helps women build lives they love, using the foundational teachings of Ayurvedic medicine.  She’s a dedicated mom, wife and changemaker.   I asked Pleasance to come on the show today because she came into the Biz Women Rock Academy earlier this year and talked about how knowing our cycles - our menstrual cycles, the lunar cycles - and our natural ways of being because of these cycles can have MASSIVE impacts on not only how we approach out business, but the results we’re getting.     The Master Class continues to be one of the most popular of the Academy, so I brought her here to you to dive deeper into that conversation.     Warning: if you already are contemplating skipping this episode because you’re thinking it’s a little too “soft,” I promise you, there are VERY REAL and PRACTICAL applications to the concepts we discuss.  And it will make complete sense the moment Pleasance starts giving you examples of how tuning into ourselves shows up as helpful or hurtful in our businesses!   We discuss…   How paying attention to your energy levels during the month will help you plan your days, your weeks and your months for maximum productivity! The 3 doshas - energies that circulate through your body and govern physiological activities - and how knowing them will help you plan for and maneuver through every changing seasons in your life. A phenomenal question Pleasance is always asking herself when she’s contemplating big and small decisions - is this serving 80 year old Pleasance? This is an incredible conversation you don’t want to miss!     You can find out more about Pleasance here → https://lilomm.com/ *** INTRO AD - MEDITATION FOR WOMEN #2   You may have noticed that so many of the women I’ve been bringing onto the show lately are talking about their challenges, changing seasons, transitions or self-doubts.  And really identifying how they got - and continue to get - through it all.     Meditation continues to be a tool that so many of them identify as one of the foundational ways they stay tuned into who they are, what’s important to them and how to continue doing the best right thing for them.     Whether you’ve been meditating for years or are a relative newbie, check out the guided meditations on the Meditation for Women podcast.  These are meditations I’ve created just...for...you!   I would love for you to take a listen and use it as your own personal library of guided meditations for the exact message you need to hear during all your seasons and transitions and moments of life!   Click HERE to check out Meditation for Women → https://goo.gl/m5YsKx ***   Today’s show is brought to you by Active Campaign, the only email marketing system you’ll ever need.  After 9 years with the same email marketing provider, I was desperately searching for one that was simple, easy to manage and affordable.  Active Campaign easily stood out above the rest and I’ve been ridiculously happy with them ever since I made the switch!

Pleasance Silicki has had 2 major career transitions. But as you’ll see from the interview today, each career she’s had has put her on the path to the next thing. So what was her journey? Well, Pleasance received her Masters in Education from the University of Pennsylvania and worked as a teacher, and then a principal, of urban elementary schools. After already feeling burned out from the job, a school shooting prompted Pleasance to leave her position.   She went on to follow her passion for yoga and opened up numerous yoga studios around the DC area. After running those studios successfully for a number of years, circumstances outside of her control led her to close them down.   Pleasance is now an author, teacher, speaker, podcaster, mentor, creator, and magic-maker. She is the founder of Thrive, an online self-care class and community. She also facilitates Stress Management and Self-Care workshops and retreats to a variety of groups and does one-on-one private mentorships based on Ayurvedic, Buddhist, and positive psychology teachings. Pleasance is also the author of Delight: 8 Principles for Living with Joy And Ease and the host of the Soulful SelfCare Sessions Podcast.   I got to talk to Pleasance about how each stage in her life and each step on her journey led her to the next thing, the lessons she’s learned from pivoting numerous times, and how she approaches her career today.   Here is what we chat about in this episode: Why she wanted to become a elementary school teacher How she became a principal at a Charter School How a school shooting changed the course of her career How she got a dream job at Lululemon Why it is so important to take baby steps and not worry about the end goal How she ended up opening numerous yoga studios around DC The lessons she learned from having to close down those studios How she has evolved her career into consulting, mentorship, and teaching the spiritual practices founded on Ayurveda, Buddhism, yoga, and positive psychology.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Body of Work, by Pamela Slim Delight: 8 Principles for Living with Joy And Ease, Pleasance Silicki Book Recommendations   Where to find Pleasance: Soulful Selfcare Sessions pleasance@lilomm.com www.instagram.com/lilommyoga Follow along for more: www.lessonsfromaquitter.com Facebook Instagram Twitter

No less impactful, what she did was visualize through prayer and meditation how future readers would thank her for writing it.  From 10 possible book topics, Megan picked the subject of her book with the help of The Author Incubator as it was the most impactful in terms of making a difference, given her experience, connections and passions.  Read more and download the transcript: Megan Jo Wilson on The Author Incubator

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the demands and pressures of your life? Do you struggle to find a healthy way through the daily ups and downs? Do you wish for a fairy godmother to wave her magic wand and take care of everything on your to-do list so you can catch your breath? (I’m raising my hand over here on that last one!) Most of us want lives filled with joy and ease but our choices often set us up for something very different. Even if we’re making the best choices we can, the pressures of modern life are hard to juggle.  It’s helpful to have a path to follow, a structure or practice that helps guide us toward a more ease-filled life. Today we’re talking about applying the ancient wisdom of yoga principles to busy lives in practical ways. Yoga is MUCH, MUCH more than just a body-stretching path to fitness! My guest this week is Pleasance Silicki, a teacher, coach, magic-maker and community builder. She’s the author of the e-book Delight: Eight Principles for Living with Joy and Ease, and co-founder of the National Kids Yoga Conference. She also founded Lil Omm Yoga, a former yoga studio in Washington, DC, now an online community. Today we are talking about slowing down, simplifying, and giving ourselves permission to be ENOUGH.  You can read the full show notes and access all the links and resources at www.alanasheeren.com

It makes lots of sense that she'd be the author of a book on living with joy and ease. She seemed destined to write it as she revealed that she had jumped into it and that the book seemingly write itself. "Delight became its own tool to truly help people and support them in an easily digestible way," she said.  Pleasance admitted her love for sharing Delight and feeling proud of knowing how she's able to help more people than she ever did before, so it's kind of a natural thing for her.  Read more and download the transcript: Pleasance Silicki on The Author Incubator
