What happens when the center of your practice—the teacher, the lineage, the external validation—suddenly disappears? In this deeply engaging conversation, hosts Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Meghan Marshall, longtime Ashtanga teacher and founder of Mysore Yoga Philadelphia, to explore the evolving landscape of practice in a post-guru era. Meghan, affectionately known in South Philly as the “benevolent Ashtanga overlord,” shares how a stroke mid-practice in 2019 altered her perspective on yoga and opened the door to Pilates. Together, they discuss the parallels between Pilates and Ashtanga, the cultural dynamics of lineage, and the emotional upheaval many practitioners feel as the Ashtanga community shifts. This episode weaves humor, honesty, and deep inquiry into what it means to keep practicing—not out of obligation, but as a living, adaptive, personal commitment. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why so many practitioners are reevaluating their relationship to Ashtanga. How Pilates can illuminate blind spots in yoga practice. The difference between “quiet quitting” and making a public exit. How tradition evolves when the guru is gone. What it means to root practice in self-inquiry rather than external approval. Guest Bio: Meghan Marshall Meghan Marshall has been teaching Ashtanga yoga for over 15 years. A Canadian by birth, she now calls Philadelphia home, where she runs Mysore Yoga Philadelphia, a thriving Mysore-style studio. Known for her humor, honesty, and supportive teaching style, Meghan blends the rigor of Ashtanga with insights from her Pilates training, helping students connect to their bodies with clarity and compassion.

Today, Jesse is joined by Kelan Kline, co-founder of The Savvy Couple, who shares his entrepreneurial journey from working as a jail deputy to building a successful online personal finance brand, emphasizing the importance of leveraging scalable income streams to achieve financial freedom. Kelan explains how entrepreneurship allows for more growth compared to a traditional nine-to-five by leveraging time, tools, and teams, and recounts how he and his wife carefully planned their transition by budgeting, paying off debt, and building a safety net before he quit his job. Kelan advocates starting with side hustles, particularly online opportunities like affiliate marketing, which offer flexibility and scalability, especially for people with limited time. He stresses the power of niching down to serve specific audiences deeply and shares lessons learned about the dangers of chasing shiny objects versus focusing on clear goals. Finally, he shares how they've diversified their income by expanding into real estate and pivoting toward AI-driven content creation, while building community initiatives like Freedom Builders to help others align their vision and master money on the path to financial independence. Key Takeaways: • Focus on high-leverage activities that maximize your time and financial return. • Niching down allows you to serve a specific audience better and grow faster. • Consistency and focus trump chasing every shiny new opportunity in entrepreneurship. • Risk-taking is necessary but should be balanced with a solid financial foundation. • Avoid multitasking across too many projects to prevent burnout and loss of focus. • Creating value first, then monetizing, is the key to sustainable online business growth.

Trim Healthy Podcast w/Serene & Pearl (and some guy named Danny)
This week we sit down with Jennifer, a long-time Trim Healthy Mama who has walked through some of life's hardest valleys and found freedom on the other side. She first discovered us in 2012 after a pregnancy that left her sick for nine months and then struggling with weight gain. Trim Healthy Mama gave her the tools to turn her health around, but her journey didn't stop there. Over the years she has faced postpartum struggles, divorce, single parenting, and even the heartbreak of losing her children temporarily during COVID. Through stress, sleepless nights, and stubborn weight that wouldn't budge, she learned how to rebuild her health with simple, doable steps. Most of all, she discovered the faithfulness of God and how small daily habits can carry you through the darkest times. If you have ever felt stuck, stressed, or ready to give up, Jennifer's story will remind you that health and hope are always within reach. Jenn's Bio: Coach Jen (Mason) Felker has been living the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle since 2012 and was one of the first to join the official coaching program when it launched in 2018. She began blogging about THM at thewellplannedkitchen.com in 2014. Since then, she has coached well over 4,000 Trim Healthy Mamas.

Today we have Amy. She is 41 years old and lives in Raleigh, NC. She took her last drink on December 12th, 2023. This episode brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Exact Nature – use code RE20 to save 20% off of your order October 2026 we have a new retreat we have yet to do. This is an in-person alcohol-free ukulele retreat taking place in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. There will be ukulele instruction in the mornings and Spanish immersion courses in the afternoon. [02:01] Thoughts from Paul: Addiction is disconnecting with the self and your fellow humans. More sobriety is connection with the self, your fellow humans and more. “I” equals illness, “we” equals wellness. Quitting drinking is a perfect circle. Your drinking crisis is an opportunity for someone to help. Phrased with 12 step verbiage, your first step is someone else's 12th step. And when you find your footing, you can then assist someone else in their drinking crisis. When the soul is hurting, the healing only happens when you're not alone. And speaking of being alone, listeners, you are not alone. You are not the only one who struggles with alcohol. You, along with the other listeners, are seeking not only sobriety but seeking a deeper connection with all. Seeking answers that the bottle can't deliver. You are in the right place. [07:37] Paul introduces Amy: Amy is 41 years old and lives in Raleigh, NC with her husband and a three-year-old son. Amy says she is a theater nerd and does improv comedy for fun. Amy grew up in the southwest side of Chicago where she says her father was an alcoholic. She has memories of being a child at AA and Al-Anon meetings with her parents as well as memories of her father taking her to bars when they would tell her mother they were somewhere else. Amy had her first drink when she was 15 while going to a concert with older teens. There was a bottle passed around the group and they all got drunk. Later that night she was found in the field of the concert venue by paramedics and taken to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. She began to live a double life throughout high school and college. Amy saw that if she got good grades and joined all of the clubs, she would get praise and recognition. On the flip side she would drink very hard, and it wasn't uncommon for her to get alcohol poisoning. Only after going to grad school in New York was Amy able to calm down a bit. After COVID, Amy and her husband were doing IVF. Amy says she didn't drink much at this point, but after having the baby, she suffered from postpartum anxiety which led her to daily drinking as a tool to cope with it. Over time she would begin to try moderation but limiting herself to two drinks was difficult and led to binges. Amy's last bender was at a holiday work party. The next day she found herself hungover and asked herself how her drinking was any better than her father's was when she was younger. She knew that she may be heading down a dangerous path, so Amy decided to call the local AA helpline. Amy began going to AA meetings and found a sponsor. She shares that her mother was a great support because of her experience with Al-Anon and she understood what Amy was going through. One of the best things for Amy was burning the ships and gaining accountability. Even after 18 months, Amy admits there is white knuckling at times. She realizes that after 25 years of drinking, it doesn't all heal within 18 months, but she is grateful to be where she is and says that since getting sober, she hasn't missed a day of her son's life. Amy's parting piece of guidance: everything that she was looking for while getting drunk can be found in recovery and she found it in Café RE and AA. Take what works and leave the rest.

Slowing down doesn't mean giving up. It means realigning. This episode offers a new pace for high-capacity humans — one grounded in identity, not adrenaline. Gentle isn't passive. It's powerful.If slowing down feels risky — like you'll lose your edge, your momentum, or your reputation — this episode is for you.You're not stuck. You're just due for a reset.But not the kind that requires quitting it all or taking a sabbatical.Today, Julie Holly explores the slow reset — a powerful recalibration for high-capacity humans who have learned to move fast, lead boldly, and perform under pressure… but who long for peace without losing their purpose.You'll hear why intentional slowness, when chosen from identity (not burnout), restores clarity, sharpens your decisions, and recalibrates your nervous system.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “gentle” doesn't mean “passive”What happens when we climb without ever descendingHow your nervous system interprets pace as safety or threatWhy rest should be treated with as much precision as performanceHow ILR reframes slowing down as leadership, not failureJulie shares a recent story about returning from an intensive Private Recalibration Session — and how, instead of pushing through, she chose to reset. She reminds us: recalibration isn't a one-time event. It's a way of life.You'll also hear about Ryan Holiday's powerful evolution from The Obstacle Is the Way to Stillness Is the Key — and how that shift mirrors what many high-capacity humans are experiencing now. (Julie will link the book in the show notes.)
Quitting used to be something that was frowned upon. Now it's celebrated. But here's the truth: walking away from something hard isn't always growth — sometimes it's just quitting.In this episode of the Talkin' Crazy Podcast, Demetrius “Meech Speaks” Thigpen breaks down the quitter's mindset and why it's become glorified. From Marine Corps recruiting to real life relationships, quitting spreads like a mindset — unless you kill it before it kills your dreams.If you've ever been tempted to give up on your goals, your relationships, or your own growth — this is the reminder you need.Let our sponsor BetterHelp connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your own home.

My guest for Episode #322 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Rob Dorgan, a multi-talented professional whose career path has taken him from paralegal to college professor, retail store owner, manufacturing company president, and now licensed massage therapist, certified yoga educator, meditation teacher, and astrologer. Rob is also the author of Awakening the Mystic: A Novel of Cosmic Love and Healing. Episode page with video and more His favorite mistake? Taking what was meant to be a short trip to Europe while working on his PhD — a journey that led him to never return to that academic track. Instead, it opened his eyes to a different pace of life, sparked a reassessment of what success meant to him, and ultimately set him on a more balanced and meaningful career path. In our conversation, Rob shares how that decision — which family and friends initially questioned — allowed him to escape burnout and embrace a life and career that integrates his passions for teaching, creativity, and well-being. He reflects on lessons learned from his “type A” years in academia and business, the importance of slowing down, and how yoga, meditation, and practical stress relief can improve both personal health and workplace culture. We also discuss his experience bringing these tools into corporate environments, where employees not only benefit individually but also feel more supported by their organizations. “Stress comes on so slowly that it becomes your normal — and you forget what life without it feels like.” That realization, Rob says, is what helped him see the deeper value of meditation and mindful living. We also talk about his book's concepts — from the “five kleshas” in yoga philosophy to the idea of an “inner council” — and how self-awareness can help us navigate life's choices. Whether you're navigating a career change, seeking better work-life balance, or simply curious about practical ways to reduce stress, Rob's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake? How did your trip to Europe during your PhD studies change your career path? Did you consider moving to Europe to teach in that more relaxed environment? What countries did you visit on that trip? How did you go from teaching to starting a retail store and then leading a manufacturing company? Did yoga and meditation help you become a better leader? How did your personal stress experiences influence how you led the company? How have attitudes toward workplace stress changed since the 1990s? How do you make meditation and stress relief practical for corporate settings? How do companies usually find and bring you in for corporate sessions? What types of people attend your retreats, and what do they take away? How did you personally discover the benefits of a consistent yoga practice? How can yoga and meditation help with stress-related physical issues? What are the “five kleshas” in yoga philosophy? How do those concepts connect to ego, attachment, and fear? What is the “inner council” in your book, and how does it work? How did your interest in astrology begin? How can knowing your “council leader” help you in life and work? How did you balance the drive to finish your book with avoiding stress? What's your advice for building habits like meditation or yoga into daily life?

From living in a room with 10 people in Mushin Idi- Araba to lifting trophies on the international stage and becoming a National VIP, Rasheedat Ajibade's journey will break your heart and inspire you all at once.She tells me about growing up in a compound with over a hundred people.About washing toilets and bathrooms for money.About selling kunu and zobo just to get by.She played for FC Robo in Nigeria for 10 years without a salary.And then, at 17, she left for Norway.Sick. Injured. Lonely.That's when she knew she was depressed.She says there were days she thought of giving it all up. Days she imagined collapsing on the pitch and never waking up.And then she smiles and tells me how, in the middle of all that darkness, her relationship with God got sweeter.How she began to see her life as bigger than her pain.How even her trophy could be a tool to inspire the next generation.We talk about survival. Faith. Purpose.And how even the deepest valleys can lead to the highest mountains.This is one of the most courageous stories I have ever heard.And one of the strongest spirits I have ever met.Watch all new and old full episodes here: watch.withchude.comBuy ‘How Depression Saved My Life', #TheDailyJoy and #TheDailyVulnerable books here: shop.withchude.com Donate to the work here: partner.withchude.com Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/chude Hosted on Acast.

It all comes down to self-integrity: the ability to trust yourself to follow through.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we're joined by Juliette Kerven, known on trail as Scorpion Queen. Juliette is a Michelin-trained chef, former yacht crew member, full-time nomad, and a thru-hiker of both the PCT and AT, and we caught her during her CDT thru-hike attempt for this conversation. This is a solo interview led by Chaunce, and it ventures into some uncharted emotional terrain for this podcast as Scorpion Queen openly wrestles with whether or not to continue her hike, and she ultimately comes to a decision during the interview. We also talk about what it's like hiking in the U.S. as an international hiker (Juliette is from England), hear about her experience working on yachts, and learn how her Michelin-level culinary skills translate to the backcountry. All that and much more. We wrap the show with the most common injuries to AT thru-hikers, small things that make our days better, the triple crown of gingers (fictional characters edition), and the definitive guide to the sluttiest fonts.

Quitting on yourself does not usually happen in one moment. It starts quietly. You set a goal, feel motivated for a short while, then the first challenge appears. You push through for a bit, but then the excuses start creeping in. You miss a day, tell yourself you will get back on track, then skip again. Before you know it, the goal is sitting on the shelf, and you are convincing yourself you will try again later. This is a signal that your approach is missing a structure you can trust when motivation fades. The cycle of starting and stopping can break when you understand why it happens and have a clear plan for what to do in those moments.
