Podcasts about practices

Sean Yang, founder of Practices.fyi, joins the podcast to talk about the business numbers therapists often ignore and why tracking the right metrics can change everything. The conversation covers the difference between reacting to problems versus actually understanding your practice, which data points matter most for growth, and how better visibility leads to better decisions. Sean also shares how therapists can use AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to analyze data, streamline tasks, and improve systems while still protecting client privacy and staying HIPAA compliant. A practical conversation for practice owners who want to stop guessing and start running their business with more clarity and confidence.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Many studies focus on how Russia doesn't work and why. There's a laundry list of reasons. Corruption. Autocracy. Imperialism. Exceptionalism. But, how, then, does Russia work? Because there are people, a state, and society. What greases the wheels? Alena Ledeneva has made this question the focus of her career. For her, it's the informal networks and practices that allow the system, with all its deficiencies, to function. Her new book, Russian Pendulum, is a synthesis of her three books on informality. But instead of focusing on post-Soviet Russia, she examines the long duree of informality through the concept of paradox. For example, the Soviet paradox, “Shops are empty, but fridges are full.” Ledeneva says that this paradox contains a hidden informal relation that ameliorates shortage. She also takes a novel approach to this subject using sculpture and music to represent the paradoxes and practices of Russian everyday life. We at the Eurasian Knot wanted to know more. So we put the question to Ledeneva–How does Russia work? And what does that say about Russia's historical development over the last few centuries? Russian Pendulum has a soundtrack: “The System Made Me Do It,” available on Spotify and elsewhere. Guest:Alena Ledeneva is Professor of Politics and Society at the University College London and a founder of the Global Informality Project. She's the author of the trilogy: Russia's Economy of Favours (1998), How Russia Really Works (2006), Can Russia Modernize? (2013), Her new book is The Russian Pendulum: Paradoxes, Practices and Patterns published by UCL Press. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thinking about going solo but stuck in anxiety and overplanning? In this episode, two lawyers who successfully left prosecution and big law share the real math, mindset, and first 90‑day moves that make or break a new solo practice.   In this episode, Steve Fretzin, Jordan Ostroff, & Jeremy Baker discuss: Deciding when and why to go solo Leaving a firm the right way and preserving relationships Planning for cash flow, costs, and the first 90 days Using AI and lean tech instead of heavy overhead Common mistakes with hiring, planning, and business development   Key Takeaways: The decision to launch a solo practice often comes from a clear moment of misalignment, realizing the “next promotion” or status quo is not the life or career you actually want. A realistic financial and marketing plan, what you'll spend, how you'll earn, and where new files will come from, is more important than a perfect logo, office, or tech stack. Maintaining integrity and open communication when you leave a firm protects your reputation, preserves referrals, and can turn former colleagues into long-term allies. Early-stage solos should prioritize cash flow and relationships over tinkering with systems; networking your existing contacts usually beats waiting on websites and ads to work. AI tools can dramatically reduce startup costs and speed up execution, but they are a supplement to, not a substitute for, consistent outreach and business development.   "What I did wrong in year one was I didn't hire people, and what I did wrong in year two is I hired people the wrong way." —  Jeremy Baker   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.

In this episode, host Don Adeesha sits down with Naren Arulrajah, CEO of Ekwa Marketing, to confront the biggest shift in local healthcare marketing in a decade. AI is now answering patient questions directly on the search page, the click is disappearing, and the old SEO playbook of rank-click-book is officially dead for aesthetic practice owners. Naren breaks down the financial reality of zero-click search, why Google Ads cost 5 to 10 times more than organic traffic, and why only the top 3-5% of practices get free traffic in any given market. He explains AI Overviews, AI Mode, and CRUX, while warning that AI-written healthcare content will get your site blacklisted from Google rankings entirely. The episode closes with Naren's framework for owning your patient pipeline: rank for 100+ keywords on page one, build E-E-A-T through credentialed provider bios, capture paragraph love-letter reviews at peak patient happiness, and demand proof, not promises, from your marketing firm. The practices that move into the top tier now will be the ones standing when the market sorts itself out.

Ravens beat reporter for The Baltimore Sun Brian Wacker joined the show to discuss his takeaways from Jesse Minter's first OTA's as head coach of the Ravens.

What everyday habits are most important for Christian formation? We all know that our habits form us, for better or for worse. But it can be overwhelming to confront our bad habits and consider the good habits we should be building. In this episode, Dusty White and Bob Thune commend three simple, basic practices for Christian formation: meditation on Scripture, self-denial, and embodied community. In an age dominated by distraction, consumerism, and digital immersion, these three practices are essential to counter-cultural discipleship — and to a slower, deeper, more relational way of following Jesus.

AI is reshaping the security operations center (SOC), shifting it from a manual, reactive function into a faster, intelligence-driven environment. For organizations dealing with alert fatigue and limited analyst capacity, AI is becoming a practical tool for improving how threats are identified and managed.In this UC Today discussion, Kristian McCann speaks with Morgan Adamsky, Principal at PwC, to explore how enterprises are operationalizing AI in the SOC. Adamsky brings a pragmatic perspective, focusing on how AI can be deployed responsibly. Her insights center on aligning technology with people and process, ensuring AI enhances rather than complicates decision-making in high-pressure environments.From Hype to Operational RealityTraditionally, analysts have had to manually review large volumes of data, often taking significant time to identify real threats. AI is changing that by rapidly surfacing anomalies and prioritizing potential risks, helping teams respond faster.Adoption, however, varies widely. Many organizations are still taking a “bolt-on” approach, adding AI into existing workflows. More advanced organizations are rethinking the SOC entirely, treating AI as a “force multiplier” and designing operations around it from the outset.This gap highlights different levels of maturity. While some are experimenting, others are investing in deeper transformation, a move Adamsky suggests will deliver greater long-term value, particularly as attackers also leverage AI to accelerate their efforts.Challenges remain. Organizations must integrate AI across the full security lifecycle, ensure outputs can be trusted, and train teams to use it effectively. As Adamsky notes, the human factor is still a key hurdle in scaling adoption.Building a Smarter, Safer SOCTo manage these challenges, organizations are introducing clearer boundaries between AI and human decision-making. AI can handle tasks like initial triage, but critical actions such as containment or shutting down systems typically require human validation.This human-in-the-loop approach helps maintain trust while still benefiting from automation. It ensures that AI supports, rather than replaces, human judgment in high-stakes scenarios.Adamsky also outlines what effective implementation looks like. This includes combining threat intelligence, vulnerability data, and network activity into a unified view. AI then helps identify patterns and surface meaningful insights, enabling more informed decisions.She also points to three priorities: faster vulnerability management, stronger third-party risk oversight, and preparing for breaches. The latter reflects a growing recognition that incidents are increasingly likely, making readiness essential.From Experimentation to TransformationThe discussion makes clear that incremental adoption is not enough. While bolt-on AI can deliver short-term gains, long-term success requires rethinking the SOC as a whole, with AI embedded across workflows.At the same time, core cybersecurity fundamentals still matter. Practices like patching, testing, and incident planning remain critical, but must now operate at greater speed to keep up with AI-driven threats.For security leaders, the focus should be on both technology and people. That means investing in tools while also upskilling teams and adapting processes to fully leverage AI.Ultimately, organizations that treat AI as foundational rather than optional will be better positioned to keep pace in an increasingly automated threat landscape.

Most med spas focus heavily on the procedure itself, but patient experience is shaped just as much by what happens before and after treatment. In this episode, I sit down with Lars Hegelson, founder of Easy Aftercare, to discuss how poor aftercare communication creates operational strain, financial risk, and preventable patient issues—and why practices that modernize patient education are creating a measurable advantage.  We unpack how accessible, personalized aftercare systems can reduce cancellations, improve compliance, strengthen patient trust, and support the long-term value of the business.  The Operational Risks Hidden Inside Weak Aftercare Systems  One of the biggest operational gaps in healthcare is assuming patients will remember important instructions after receiving a procedure, especially when they're overwhelmed, anxious, or distracted. When aftercare systems are inconsistent, practices end up dealing with preventable complications, repetitive staff communication, after-hours calls, and patients searching online for answers instead of returning to their provider. That creates unnecessary risk for both the patient and the practice.  As patient expectations continue evolving, generic paper handouts and one-time verbal explanations simply aren't enough anymore.  What Better Aftercare Systems Improve Inside the Business  Operational improvement comes from delivering information more effectively—not necessarily more information.  • Timed text-based communication reduces information overload • Video and audio instructions improve retention and accessibility • Caregivers can receive the same aftercare guidance as patients • ADA-compliant and multilingual education improves patient trust • Compliance tracking creates documentation that supports legal protection • Better procedure preparation can reduce cancellations and reschedules  The practices solving these communication problems are creating smoother operations without adding unnecessary complexity for their teams.  Why Communication Has a Direct Financial Impact  Patient education is often treated like a support function, but financially, it affects much more than patient satisfaction. Every preventable cancellation, unnecessary complication, after-hours issue, or malpractice concern creates operational and financial pressure inside the business. Practices that proactively guide patients through preparation, recovery, and follow-up care tend to operate more efficiently while reducing avoidable risk.   There's also an enterprise value component here. Businesses with stronger systems, lower operational friction, and more consistent patient experiences are easier to scale and easier to trust.  As Your Practice Expands, Communication Systems Matter More  Scalable patient education matters.  As med spas grow, consistency becomes harder to maintain. More providers, more locations, and more patients create more opportunities for communication breakdowns if systems aren't standardized. Clear aftercare workflows, accessible instructions, and proactive communication systems help maintain the patient experience as volume increases. The practices that scale best u build systems that consistently support patients before, during, and after treatment.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.   Fractional CFO Services and Executive Financial Review: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/  Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein  Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepWhatYouEarn  Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1580071347  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/  The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not individualized financial advice.

If you've ever felt stuck between "work harder" and "systemize more," and suspected neither one is the answer, this episode is for you. Most practice owners inherited an operating system they never chose, and it's quietly producing the exact results they're trying to escape. Inside, Dr. Dave unpacks where it came from, the shadow it casts over modern dental practices, and what a profoundly more profitable alternative actually looks like.Listen now. Your operating system has been waiting for an upgrade.

We explore how healthcare leaders can move beyond data overload to uncover meaningful insights that improve decision-making, efficiency, compliance, and ultimately patient care. We walk through security concerns, "human in the loop" versus fully autonomous models, and lastly, we take a look ahead at the next 3-5 years.Saurabh can be contacted via email at: sg@cormetrix.com or via LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gupta-md/ and the CorMetrix website is here: https://cormetrix.com/Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Maya Tiwari reflects on a recent journey through South India, using the experience to discuss humanity's shift away from a restrictive "3D Matrix" toward a higher "5D frequency." She describes a massive cosmic upgrade to the human operating system, facilitated by galactic forces, which allows humanity to shed dualistic thinking, reclaim its sacred design, and step into a unified, enlightened state of consciousness.Key Talking Points & Themes1. Breaking Free from the Matrix and DualismThe "Matrix Weave": Tiwari describes the current societal system as an iron-clad matrix of darkness, rules, and divisionism that keeps the human mind ensnared.The Illusion of Separation: She opens up about her own recent internal struggles, realizing how dualistic thinking ("us vs. them") and the hidden ego can stunt our natural creative gifts, causing disease, decline, and despair.Surviving on "Smithereens": Despite these distortions, humanity has miraculously retained its sanity and created beauty, art, and joy from mere fragments of our original sacred design.2. Cosmic Recalibration via the Central SunSolar Transmissions: The Central Sun is rapidly increasing its solar output, sending heightened energetic frequencies, electromagnetic patterns, and adaptive radiation to Earth.Nervous System Upgrade: This influx of energy is actively altering human biology and emotion, forcing the nervous system to recalibrate, the heart portal to open, and the mind to unlearn false information.3. The Galactic Alliance and the 5D Operating SystemA Universal Effort: Highly advanced, enlightened universal forces—including the Galactic Federation of Light, Arcturians, Pleiadians, Andromedians, Sirians, and Lymans—have aligned to orchestrate this transition.Carbon to Light: At great peril to themselves, these forces are delivering a tech-vibrational upgrade to humanity's internal operating system, transitioning humans from carbon-based matrix prisoners to liberated, 5D Light Beings.4. Reclaiming the Role of the "Sorcerer"Tiwari urges individuals to move beyond being mere scholars of life and instead become sorcerers and magicians.For the first time in 26,000 years, humans are "frequency-armed" and capable of consciously weaving their own magical tapestries of grace, beauty, and compassion.Action Items & Practices for AscensionTiwari notes that this spiritual birthing process is "messy and gory," requiring deep commitment rather than tedium. To successfully anchor this new luminous operating system, she recommends the following daily practices:Vacuum the Mind: Actively clear away 3D mental clutter and detritus.The Violet Flame: Visualize a violet flame cleansing the container of the mind.Mindful Breathing: Maintain conscious awareness of your breath throughout the day.Share Vulnerability: Reach out to those who are lost and share personal struggles and clearing methods to help them feel less isolated.Simplify Meals: Align dietary choices with high-frequency light by practicing compassion and abstaining from eating animals.Contemplate and Bow: Create dedicated daily space for meditation, contemplation, and honoring the Divine Light.Final Takeaway: “We are the magician, the magic and the magical tapestry all woven into the One... Let us invite and embody this higher frequency and together strive to be the light to those struggling to find their way in darkness.”Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self-  tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.comMothermaya@gmail.comGet Maya's New Book: I Am  Shakti:https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shaktiAmazon.comBookshop.org

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Dr. Sherri Greene. The two talk about the evolution of Dr. Sherri Greene's career from traditional podiatric surgery to pioneering a practice that fuses Eastern and Western medicine, the unique challenges women leaders face in maintaining energy and health, and practical steps anyone can take for true restorative wellness. In this episode, we discuss: How confusing and overwhelming the current health and nutrition landscape can be, especially given conflicting information from both experts and social media. What practical steps women can take to maintain energy and wellness as leaders, including the importance of hydration, balanced nutrition (especially fruit and leafy greens), and listening to one's own body. When Dr. Sherri Greene made her significant career pivot, from a gradual early shift to a major transformation around 2016. Why many women leaders struggle with constant fatigue, health shifts due to menopause, and the challenge of balancing personal well-being with multiple responsibilities. How following your inner calling, even if it's different from the norm, can be essential for fulfillment and making an impact, especially for women leaders. Dr. Sherri Joy Greene is a podiatric physician, surgeon, and restorative medicine specialist who has spent over 33 years helping people find answers that conventional medicine couldn't provide. What began as a classically trained surgical career evolved into something far more expansive — a practice built on uncovering the root causes behind chronic pain, mystery illness, autoimmune conditions, and the kind of exhaustion that high-achieving people learn to hide. Her journey hasn't been only clinical. Like many of the patients she now serves, Dr. Greene faced her own health challenges — and those years of searching, discovering, and ultimately healing became the foundation of everything she does today. She understands what it means to keep showing up professionally while quietly struggling, and that lived experience infuses her work with a depth of compassion that goes far beyond the medical. Drawing on training in functional nutrition, functional medicine, craniosacral therapy, Reiki, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and energy medicine — woven together with decades of clinical science — she helps people navigate the overwhelming, often conflicting landscape of health information to find a path that actually works for them. Dr. Greene is the co-founder of Ask the Docs, an educational platform supporting both practitioners and patients in bridging conventional and integrative approaches to healing. She is passionate about empowering people — especially driven, accomplished women — to stop white-knuckling their way through their days and start building a life rooted in genuine, sustainable health. Her message is simple: you are not broken, you are not alone, and healing is possible. Social Media Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sherri-greene-9114381ab/    

In this episode, Paul Krauss MA LPC interviews counselor and Chi Kung instructor Doug Hilton about his book The Tao of Addiction and Recovery: Chi Kung Practices for Restoring the Energy Flow in Mind and Body, focusing on how Taoist philosophy and Chi Kung practices supported addiction recovery alongside conventional treatment. In the conversation, Hilton draws on more than thirty years of counseling experience in trauma, addictions, and family systems to explain how Chi Kung and Taoist concepts like "Emotional Recycling" has helped people understand how addictions developed, heal underlying trauma, and prevent relapse.  Hilton is Registered Clinical Counsellor in Canada and a certified Universal Healing Tao instructor who had integrated Chi Kung into his psychotherapy work for more than two decades, working with trauma, addictions, couples, and families.  His new book: The Tao of Addiction and Recovery (Destiny Books, November 2025), offers simple concepts and Chi Kung exercises, framed as a Taoist guide to recovering from addiction and returning to a state of wholeness.

In this first episode of The Divine Mother Series, I explore the archetype of the Divine Mother through the power of Earth, place, and sacred sites. I weave in reflections from my recent travels to Italy, encounters with sacred images of the Goddess, and contemplations on hunger, craving, and earth grief in a rapidly changing world. I weave together the symbolism of Mary Magdalene, the Black Madonna, pilgrimage traditions, and personal spiritual practices that help me reconnect with the sacred feminine and remember what has been lost and what still lives within us.

As a follower of Jesus, as one who aims to know, love, and become like Jesus, we must take on the position of Jesus, servant to all. And this position, of servant to His Father and to all was not a position of begrudging duty, but of joyful delight!

Sometimes you're in a room full of people you love — and all you can hear is the wind. May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This episode is a solo one — no guest, no debate, no conversation across political or religious difference. Just Corey, a piece he wrote in the middle of some darkness, and the motorcycle he never really got off. "A Thousand Miles Away" is an essay about Bipolar disorder, about the particular loneliness of being a million miles from the world even when your body is present in it, and about the cultural and religious messages that told him to keep his mouth shut about all of it. It's also about what has helped — meditation, neuroplasticity, and the odd grace of still being on the road. The full essay is on Corey's Substack. If it lands for you — or for someone you love — he'd be glad to hear from you.

Being a thousand miles away while your body moves through an ordinary day — brushing teeth, running meetings, cleaning the kitchen — is a specific, describable experience. Naming it matters. "What do you have to be depressed about?" is the wrong question. Suffering doesn't have an income threshold. The cultural reflex of tallying someone's blessings in response to their pain doesn't help. It silences. Religious communities can do real harm here. The diagnosis of "a sin issue, not a depression issue" is a failure of pastoral care with real consequences. Faith and mental health are not competing explanations. Practices matter. Meditation, neuroplasticity, building new neural pathways — these aren't cures, but they shift the ratio. More good seasons than bad is worth something. Shared memory runs deep. The weight of inherited trauma — pogroms, displacement, the unspoken cost of survival — shapes how families receive (or refuse to receive) a descendant's pain. That inheritance is real, even when it's used against you. Thanks to our Sponsors and Partners Thanks to Pew Research Center (pewresearch.org) for our ongoing partnership.

When PPO write-offs climb, adding more patients can increase stress while decreasing profitability. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Miranda Beeson, ACT's Director of Education, to unpack “the PPO trap” and explain why more patients can mean less money. You'll learn how to spot the effort gap, gather the right data before making insurance decisions, and shift the insurance mindset and language so your team can confidently support a more profitable model—whether that means going fully fee-for-service or reducing PPO exposure strategically. Listen to Episode 1047of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:More patients can increase production but still reduce profit when write-offs and effort gap widen.Practices should make PPO decisions with data—not emotion—by analyzing write-offs, plan mix, production, and procedure impact.Going fee-for-service must match your business model and requires leadership, team alignment, and consistent communication.If you're not ready to go fully out-of-network, you can improve profitability by tracking write-offs per plan and participating selectively.Capacity matters: if you have holes in the schedule, it may not be the right time to drop plans aggressively.Teams must shift language from “coverage” to “benefits” and keep clinical recommendations separate from insurance limitations.Front office and team buy-in are critical, because inconsistent messaging and fear-based language will sabotage the transition.Snippets:00:00 More patients doesn't automatically mean more profit—and why the effort gap matters.04:59 How write-offs have grown after COVID, including practices seeing 30–55%+.10:18 Why going fee-for-service isn't just an insurance decision—it's a business model and leadership decision.14:22 The key data to review before dropping a plan (patients, production, write-offs, procedures, attrition tolerance).18:40 How to participate strategically: track write-offs per plan, evaluate plan impact, and consider fee negotiation.22:29 How to identify “poor fit” plans and include admin team friction (appeals, phone time, denials) in the decision.28:05 The mindset shift: insurance as a benefit, not coverage—and why insurance shouldn't drive diagnosis.31:53 Language that protects the health recommendation and reduces insurance-driven conversations.36:48 How to answer “Do you take my insurance?” without undermining value or confidence.38:10 First steps: confirm you bill full fees, know true write-offs, and clarify your practice model direction.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics.

Have you ever found yourself reacting in a way that feels bigger than the situation in front of you… and then thought, “Why did I respond like that?”You're not alone — and it's not random.That disconnect — between what your mind wants to do and what your body actually does — is often where deeper emotional patterns, trauma responses, and nervous system reactions live.In this episode, I sit down with Annmarie Chereso, conscious relationship coach, to unpack what's really happening beneath emotional triggers, relationship conflict patterns, and those moments when you feel like you “lose control” emotionally.We explore how awareness — not force — becomes the first step toward emotional regulation and lasting change. And Annmarie shares a fresh perspective on somatic healing practices and emotional regulationIn this episode, we dive into:Why emotional triggers are often linked to deeper trauma responses and nervous system activationA new approach to relationship healing that doesn't rely on forcing yourself to “be different”What somatic healing and emotional regulation actually look like in real lifeHow to begin building self-regulation skills when emotions feel overwhelming or intenseWhy noticing your patterns is more powerful than trying to fix themThis conversation reframes healing entirely — not as something you “achieve,” but as something you become aware of over time. Through that awareness, your relationship with yourself and others begins to shift.This isn't about becoming someone new.It's about finally understanding what's been happening beneath the surface all along.You don't need to have it all figured out — you just need to start noticing.With love and freedom,LaurieClick here to learn about my NEW “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWebsiteConnect with Annmarie CheresoWebsiteInstagramFacebookRESOURCES MENTIONED:The Perfectly Imperfect Family: A book co-authored by Annmarie Chereso that shares personal stories and insights on navigating family dynamics and shifting internal states. Martha Beck Wayfinder Coaching Program: The professional coaching training program where both the host and the guest completed their training. Please leave me feedback.

She walked into her first yoga class, cried on the floor, and didn't go back for two years. Then everything changed.Erin Hayes is a former actress, corporate professional, and now one of the most uniquely gifted teachers joining the IN Movement studio. Born in London, her path to yoga was anything but direct — it was forged through burnout, a life-altering reckoning, and a deep sensitivity to energy she's carried since childhood. From Bikram yoga in her teens to Reiki Grandmaster, Angelic Reiki Master Teacher, and yoga facilitator, Erin has spent years learning to get out of her own way so something greater can come through. Her teaching is built on three things: love, capacity, and transformation. She doesn't just hold space — she holds a lot of it. This episode is a compelling introduction to a teacher, a healer, and a human who has walked through the fire and come out the other side ready to help others do the same.----------Episode Chapters:00:00:29 Introduction00:01:06 Erin's Background — London, Acting, and Corporate Life00:01:50 First Experience with Yoga: Bikram and the Floor in Tears00:04:08 Going Back Two Years Later — The Rules That Changed Everything00:07:03 Yoga as a Mirror — Becoming Aware of Misalignment00:09:04 When Did It Become More Than Personal Practice?00:09:29 The Stage, the Channel, and the Feeling of Something Coming Through00:10:38 A Life That Looked Fine But Wasn't — The Low Hum of Misalignment00:11:24 The Reckoning — When Everything Falls Apart at Once00:13:23 Energy Work: A Lifelong Sensitivity That Finally Had a Name00:15:07 Reiki Trainings — From Level One to Grandmaster00:16:37 Angelic Reiki and Why It Felt Different00:18:31 The Moment Teaching Became a Calling00:20:32 Channeling, Surrender, and Getting Out of Your Own Way00:26:00 Teaching Style: Love, Capacity, and Transformation00:28:24 Favourite Pose: Camel — The Heart Opener That Shows Everything00:30:08 What Students Feel Walking Out of Class00:33:17 What Erin Is Exploring Right Now — The Word of the Year00:34:47 The Shaman Story — Putting Out the World's Fire From Within00:36:35 Upcoming Workshops, Retreats, and What's Next----------Mentions & Resources:Michael Henri's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/ Erin Hayes' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/misserinhayesThe IN Movement Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/the_in_movement/Practices and modalities referenced:Bikram Yoga (Ghosh lineage — referenced in Ep. 198 with Laila)Reiki (levels 1 through Grandmaster)Angelic Reiki (levels 1–4, Master, Master Teacher)Sound healingTalk therapyIN Movement Empowerment Work (Byron's methodology)Podcast / media referenced:Emma Watson interview with Jay Shetty — referenced quote: "Yoga and meditation aren't there to help you stay in a life that's out of alignment.

You'll also learn how to plug into your internal divine CFO, manifest delight and surprise every day, live on assignment with your soul, and update your internal operating system to finally receive the miracles waiting for you in escrow. - Join us in LA on Aug. 2-3 for the Cathy Heller Live: Divine Receipts Summit! cathyheller.com/summit *Important Announcement: Episodes will be coming out on Thursdays from now on!
