Marital "Turmoil?" Domestic Abuse Defined   Join my guest, Rachel Peters, Domestic Abuse Advocate, as she discusses a topic that most do not want to hear about but may very well need to hear about. Perhaps you or someone you know has questions about whether a "troubled" marriage is actually an abusive marriage...come join Rachel as she speaks words of wisdom!   Says Rachel... "This is just one of the resources I use in helping women identify abuse in their life. Not only does it give them language to describe their situation but it also helps them to see that what is happening to them is not right. All abuse is physical… but many times it doesn't leave visible bruises or broken bones. If you can identify with this, let's start building your team. Let's get you the help you need." Do you know someone who is living in an abusive relationship and needs someone to talk to? Are you yourself needing someone to believe you and support you as you wrestle with the things done to you? Are you scared to trust someone once again for fear of being judged and tossed aside like trash? Do you need someone to listen, encourage, believe and love you? Whatever your story, I'm here for you. I would love to meet up for lunch or coffee… my treat!

Today we're talking about something I'm not so great at - embodying my emotions. You'd think because I was a therapist and a yoga teacher, I'd get an A in this subject, but that's not the case. For a while, I've been telling myself that because I move on so quickly from difficult events or painful emotions, I must be a fast processor. That I was super skilled at digesting my emotions and moving on. Now, I'm not so sure. I think what I might be doing is intellectualizing, compartmentalizing, and minimizing my true feelings. And not fully embodying them. To help sort things out, I sat down with my friend and colleague Rachel Peters who knows a bit about this business of emotions. Hope you enjoy the conversation and let us know what you're taking away from it. Rachel is the creator of the yearlong Embody Ease Program and Advanced Mastermind Program and offers yoga online and in Prescott as Rachel Peters Yoga. She coaches women all over the world through her involvement with Yogahealer and co-leads virtual and integrated programs through Practice Wellness Community, a collaboration with two of her sisters on the yoga path. website: easefullivingcommunity.com IG @rachelpetersyoga  Resources mentioned in this episode: Kendra Cunov https://www.kendracunov.com/no-man-diet/ No Man Diet Stripped: A Collection of Inspired Writings for the Evolving Woman by Cara Aleill Leyba

Detox tips for Vata, Kapha and Pitta doshas.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Create your Ayurvedic Profile   Show Highlights: Cate tells a story about an early Yogi Detox experience. Cate shares some essential items to detox at home. Cate reviews a detox ‘recipe for disaster’.   Favorite Quotes:  “I know that when I emerge, after a few weeks of being in the Yogi Detox, when I emerge from the experience, my kitchen will be totally aligned with how I want to be eating next, because I’ll have been doing that. Things will have changed at home.” - Cate Stillman “When you have these lighter liquid diets, it frees up energy for digestion.” - Cate Stillman “I really like miso soup because it’s simple. I’m obviously not having it for every meal but it’s super easy, especially with a little bit of nori on top. It’s easy also to integrate into my families’ meals because they can add whatever they need to.” - Rachel Peters  “My first book on Body Thrive is how to eat earlier at night, be done eating sooner. Go to bed early, wake up, hydrate, eliminate, meditate. Do breathe body practices. This is the recipe. And for those of you who have been in Body Thrive, for those of you who’ve been living Dinacharya, you get to really tap into the recipe and go deeper and have more time and eat lighter and feel more intuition. And what you find in this process is that you fall more deeply than ever in love with yourself. And not in a narcissist way. It’s consciousness merging with matter and matter merging with consciousness. And when you experience that, you are naturally led to that which is your medicine.” - Cate Stillman

Why detox? Improved digestion, restful sleep and clear skin is the tip of the iceberg. Tune into the podcast with Cate and Rachel Peters to find out what detox is and when to do it.   What you’ll get out of tuning in: What detox is. Why feeling hunger is key to satiation. When to detox. Show Highlights: Cate reflects on how our ancestors lived. Cate describes true hunger. Softening ama. Favorite Quotes: “Imagine back when, you lived closer to the earth, and you were perhaps sleeping on the earth in a little hut. And outside were all the plants you were using to feed your body. There were times of winter and times of summer, there were times of scarcity and times of abundance. Your body would naturally move into those times of scarcity. And in times of scarcity when you’re taking in less food and your atmosphere is one that’s more barren than full, you have the experience of the opposites. So part of the problem now is whenever you go into WholeFoods, it’s abundant! There’s always strawberries, like always. There’s always blueberries. And so we have to create what seems like an artificial experience of barreness or a season of scarcity so that we give our organs a freakin’ break.” - Cate Stillman “Most people I work with in Body Thrive have lost the feeling of true hunger. And there’s a disconnect between the feeling of true hunger being the only path to true satiation.”  - Cate Stillman “When you’re emptiness, you’re full of possibility.” - Cate Stillman “The body is smart and the mind is smart and the soul is smart. And I radically believe in the intelligence of you, of your organism and your mind-body-soul configuration. I believe if you give yourself the opportunity to release that which it wants to, so the body will release what it wants to, the liver will release what it wants to, the colon will release what it wants to, the arteries will release what it wants to.” - Cate Stillman “When we’re not so busy, when our bodies are not so busy digesting the food that we’re putting in, we create the space to digest the other things that we’ve distracted or pushed to the side.” - Rachel Peters

There's a willingness to be surprised to what the answer is; not coming in with needing to know.” - Rachel Peters “What I knew I needed to do was get out of the way and allow the ‘we' space to take over. It's quickly built this know, like and trust, not between me and the group but between the individuals in the group. Now they know each other on a more intimate basis.” - Rachel Peters

In today’s podcast, Rachel Peters and I reflect upon our past experiences at Yogahealer Live Events, and why we feel so refreshed after each and every time. We unravel the feeling of identity evolution and what it means to be a leader by just showing up at the retreats.

What it means to become a leader through engaging in this life-changing event. An understanding of how we can evolve our community at home through experiencing this retreat. Rachel Peters describes that the live Yogahealer events assist her in getting out of her daily routine and comfortability. She fees enabled to step out of her habits and routine and take a few days to look at herself, her life, her business, and her family from a whole new perspective. Cate explains that the activities at the retreat are very liberating but structured at the same time. Where people are paired into small groups to do specific types of activities that have their own structure and form. What people often discover is how to get out of their own way in life! It’s an amazing opportunity for growth with people who are going through similar struggles in life. It's a place where we can be vulnerable and dig deep down to understand the hurdles we’re facing in our personal and professional life.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Rachel’s website Be a coach Have a conversation Discover more about Body Thrive  Yogahealer VIP Live Events Yogahealer Live Experience   Show Highlights: 1:48-3:07- Rachel gives her take on the values and lessons that she personally gains from each experience at Yogahealer live events. 3:25- The participants that attend the Yogahealer live events get to step into a role of leadership for the Iives of many others, for simply knowing the information they do, and having the valuable experience of the retreat. 4:00- The people at the retreat get to participate in many perception-altering activities that leave them looking at their life, their work, and the lives of others in a completely new way. 7:22- One older individual who is showing up as a leader for her family and explains how the attendees are becoming leaders be just being there. They become leaders for their families, communities, yoga studios, and many others because of the knowledge and experienced they’ve gained access to at the retreat. 8:46- Rachel feels as though the retreat has always been a worthy investment for her progression in life. It is so important to invest in your own health education   Favorite Quotes: “What’s cool to see in even people living with Ayurveda, or in Body Thrive, who aren’t in our wellness pro career track, how much the self leadership, family leadership, and community leadership component is getting developed because of these live experiences.” - Cate Stillman “There’s all this identity evolution. What happens is we start to realize that were leaders. There’s just this authenticity, vulnerability, adaptability, resilience— all the signs of being rooted.” - Cate Stillman “You are your own best investment.” - Cate Stillman   Guest BIO: Since 2001 Rachel has been supporting others through body, mind and heart-based yoga classes, trainings, mentoring and workshops.

In this Changemaker Challenge episode, Carly Banks sits down with Rachel Peters www.rachelpeters.yoga to talk about the beliefs and fears one need to overcome when stepping into entrepreneurship. Prior to YHC, Rachel was working at a job that showcased many of her innate skills: organization, structure, opportunities to speak and to lead. She also owned a brick and mortar yoga studio. She excelled in both businesses, but something wasn't right. Rachel was working 60+hours a week. Following the birth of her son, it became obvious that her work schedule would not foster the connection she wanted to build between them. This was the spark... the moment where she accepted something needed to change. She took the leap and enrolled in Yoga Health Coaching. In this interview, Rachel is super honest about how her mindset can stop her from moving forward. It almost always comes down to fear. But in this community we get comfortable with our fears. We play the edges of them, and seek new truths so we can overcome them. Three years into her YHC career, Rachel is now making the same income she was while working 60 hours a week, except now she only works 20-25 hours a week. Same money. A THIRD of the hours. Doing work that really fills her up on her own terms. And the flexibility to be with her family whenever she sees fit.   What you'll get out of tuning in: How our fears keep us in our comfort zones. How YHC provides the structures and systems we need to be successful. How YHC is a platform for both personal and professional growth.   Links Mentioned in the Episode: Body Thrive Yoga Health Coaching Show Highlights: 0:00 - As moms, sometimes it's hard to define what a good work/life balance is. For almost 20 years, Rachel worked as a liaison between land management agencies and a local college. She often put in over 40 hours per week. She also owned a yoga studio and taught 8-10 classes per week. After the birth of her son, her heart wasn't in her work anymore, and she found herself talking more and more about yoga and health. 6:50 - Becoming a parent changes your priorities. Even when you're really good at your job, you might start to wonder whether it still suits your identity and whether it's in line with your dharma. Rachel realized that in order to do the work she really wanted to do, she had to step out from behind the desk. 10:50 - Many of us have been taught that we need a job with a "benefits package." For Rachel, it was hard to break away from that mindset . . . until she realized that the benefits package wasn't benefitting her. So she started making a list of all the things that were holding her back, and she began to realize that most of it was fear. 16:20 - Identity evolution is an ongoing process. Even after we make a big leap, there is always more work to do; there's always a next step in our evolution. The 10 habits of Body Thrive help us ease through those transitions. 18:20 - Rachel was part of the first group of yoga health coaches. She recalls sitting down with Cate for a strategy session and making a plan. It took Rachel another two and a half years to leave her desk job. But she "followed the breadcrumbs" and put in the work. She no longer works a desk job. She no longer owns a yoga studio. She works between 20 and 25 hours per week and this year her income will be what it was when she left her 40+ hours a week desk job. 21:40 - When we learn and practice the habits of Body Thrive, when we do the work in YHC, we start to get really clear on what matters most. We experience personal and professional growth simultaneously.   Your Favorite Quotes: "The work that I'd been doing so long . . . became the thing that I hid behind." --- Rachel Peters "I still am working on really believing in myself and that I can do this. And that I really can help people." --- Rachel Peters "You create new patterns in your thoughts by repeating the new truths to yourself." --- Carly Banks "Which one feels better? Fly the desk, or like . . . fly?" --- Carly Banks "One of the beautiful things of YHC is to learn the steps, that it's a system and it works." --- Rachel Peters   Guest BIO: Rachel's – As a Certified Yoga Health Coach and the Founder of Embody Ease and the Easeful Living Community, Rachel leads women on a yearlong journey to dissolve perfectionism and embody daily habits that promote clarity, ease, and inner connection.

When we live in integrity, the first to notice are those closest to us. They often pick up the reins and take the lead, as Rachel's husband Dan likes to do. He's now an avid forager! 16:00 - What Yoga Health Coaches do has a ripple effect. We touch others in many ways. As people learn what we do, we become a face of holistic wellness in our communities and often end up helping people who aren't even our clients. 19:30 - What does the next step of leadership look like? Collaboration and mesh networking. Rachel talks about how she works with other wellness leaders in her community.   Favorite Quotes: "I lead from my strengths, rather than having to cultivate new ones" ~Rachel Peters "A sometimes unintended consequence of becoming a Yoga Health Coach is that we are becoming community leaders." ~Alex Biondo   Guest BIO: Rachel is a Certified Yoga Health Coach and the Founder of Embody Ease and the Easeful Living Community.
