Work-life balance is a myth! But rhythms of life and the changing of seasons are something that we can all embrace. In this episode, I sit down with Amy Dover, a seasoned therapist and successful group practice owner.  Amy has an inspiring story of transitioning from various practice settings to building her own flourishing group practice in Enterprise, Alabama. Throughout our conversation, Amy opens up about the rapid growth of her practice and the different seasons she's experienced as an entrepreneur.  We dive into the challenges of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and why Amy prefers to think in terms of finding a rhythm rather than balance. Because, honestly, balance never comes and only creates frustration.  She shares her insights on how to adapt to the changing demands of personal life and business, providing valuable advice for anyone looking to grow their practice while staying grounded. Key Takeaways Rethinking Balance: Amy encourages us to move away from the rigid idea of work-life balance and instead find a rhythm that works for both our personal and professional lives. Embracing Seasons: Understanding and embracing different seasons—whether it's a time of rapid growth or a slower period—can help in managing personal and business development effectively. Managing Growth: Amy's journey emphasizes the importance of being a savvy businessperson. Knowing the financial and administrative aspects of your practice is essential for success, and requires a mindset shift from therapist to business owner. Leadership Lessons: Transitioning from a solo practice to a group practice requires continuous learning and adaptation in leadership styles and team dynamics. Consulting and Support: Having a mentor or joining a consulting group can provide crucial support and guidance through the stages of growing your practice. Amy's experience and wisdom offer a roadmap for navigating the complexities of practice growth while staying true to your values.  Links mentioned in this episode: Wise Practice Consulting FREE Webinar: Is It Time To Grow?

“You have to be okay giving people more from the buffet than they may have chosen on their own or that you would have chosen for them to create this beautiful experience and know that it's going to be great anyway.”   Have you ever felt the spark of realization that your one-on-one healthcare work could evolve into something bigger, something more far-reaching?

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 297: Yoga Philosophy & Business with Rebecca Sebastian   Description: As yoga teachers, we can feel like making money and running a yoga business is out of alignment with yoga and the philosophy of yoga. This can cause us to struggle with marketing and charging for our services. Why does this happen and how can we overcome it? Rebecca Sebastian shares her insights.   Rebecca Sebastian has been teaching yoga for 20 years and working as a yoga therapist for a decade. She is also a yoga studio owner, yoga non-profit Founder, and the host of the Working In Yoga podcast. She isn't afraid to stand up for human rights and yoga - and she also isn't afraid to talk about making money as a yoga teacher.   In this conversation, Rebecca shares her thoughts on why yoga teachers are struggling to make money and be okay with making money, and why we all need to double our prices (today). She explains why making our offerings more accessible doesn't necessarily mean lowering the price and how we can help increase access to yoga while still making a sustainable living. Rebecca gives tips on what to do when you don't feel comfortable “selling” yoga and explains how yoga philosophy fits in with running a yoga business.   If you are struggling to make money as a yoga teacher and feeling like marketing and business isn't in alignment with yoga, this episode is a great pep talk.   Key Takeaways: [0:38] sponsors - OT, PHP [2:45] Shannon introduces her guest for this episode - Rebecca Sebastian [7:41] What does Rebecca do and who does she do it for? [8:30] Why do yoga teachers struggle to make money and feel comfortable making money? [11:25] Other than doubling our prices, how can we as yoga teachers reconcile how we view yoga philosophy and making a sustainable living with yoga? [16:33] Rebecca speaks about why many people have relationships with money that are rooted in shame and guilt. [18:31] We put a lot of judgements on wealth, but that doesn't necessarily have to be the way - we are positioned to radically redistribute wealth. [21:38] Rebecca reflects on how some of the conversations we may be having around cultural appropriation and whitewashing in the yoga world may not be shifting the needle but merely adding shame to the conversation. We need to have these conversations and find ways to make a sustainable living in alignment with the teachings of yoga. [23:02] How does Rebecca help yoga teachers with pricing? [26:59] Shannon pops in with a shout out of thanks to the team at Offering Tree. [29:15] Shannon and Rebecca discuss some other ways to determine pricing for yoga offerings. [31:34] Rebecca invites us to unpack any of our thoughts that are laced with shame and guilt around money. [32:45] What advice does Rebecca have for yoga teachers who are feeling resistant to marketing and the business side of teaching yoga? [35:25] What are some resources that Rebecca recommends for unpacking money stuff? [37:30] How can we tackle that competitive mindset that may come up? [40:37] What does Rebecca wish yoga teachers knew about how yoga philosophy goes well with business? [44:21] What final thoughts does Rebecca have for yoga teachers as they start to get comfortable with unpacking money stuff and increasing their rates?

It's okay to make money as a yoga professional."   "The truth of the matter is that if you want to be of service, you have to make enough money to not be the person who needs help."   "If good humans have conscious moral effort to make money and do good with it, we can change how this works."   "Yoga is this amazing tradition, the spiritual discipline - stop selling it. Sell something else and charge a premium price for it."   "I want you to find your humans and I want you to charge them enough money for you to make a living."   "I believe that you can make money and create impact and do good things. It's not an either/or, it can be a both/and."

When you start your podcasting journey, you may begin with one idea that ultimately evolves into something else over the course of building your audience. That's ok. It's not always about teaching someone something physically tangible. Sometimes it's more about inspiring a mindset. Let your message evolve as you evolve. Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast  where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast; build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more. If you're thinking about starting a podcast or simply looking for a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you. In this episode of Should I Start a Podcast, Ronsley speaks with Jackie Nourse, creator of travelingjackie.com (with one L, for all you non-Americans) and host of the podcast JUMP. Jackie always loved travelling and wanted to create a space that other travel junkies could go to, or be inspired by. However, JUMP didn't start out that way. Her original podcast, The Budget-Minded Traveler, started out as more of a how-to format. As Jackie's life evolved, so did her podcast. She realised that it was more about making connections with people than teaching them step by step processes. As she began building an audience, she was struck by how she was able to inspire just by sharing real, authentic and raw thoughts and experiences. Ronsley and Jackie have a thought-provoking conversation all about the importance of being real with your audience. They discuss how essential it is to inspire others to “take that leap” for themselves and why evolution is vital in every part of the podcasting process. Also within this episode: How JUMP evolved to what it is today How JUMP got its name Why Jackie feels it's so important to put your mistakes out there Why Jackie journals every day The story of Jackie's first organised group trip Resources: travelingjackie.com Listen to JUMP Jackie on LinkedIn Listen to the Audiobook Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It (Highly recommended by Ronsley)

Podcasting is about telling a story. Whether your podcast is in an interview format, or any other format, the driving force behind the appeal is the story it tells. So what if you can't find any stories you can relate to? Or hear any stories coming from people that look like you? You tell your own story. Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast, build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more.  If you're thinking about starting a podcast or simply looking for a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you. In this episode of Should I Start a Podcast, Ronsely has a thoughtful conversation with  Pam Covarrubias, creator of SpreadIdeasMovePeople.com and host of the Cafe con Pam Podcast. Pam grew up knowing how to sell, thanks to the innovation of her mother, who started her own ceramics store and factory when Pam was a young girl. Even though her marketing game was naturally strong, Pam longed to do more than just sell, she wanted to share her story. After falling in love with podcasts while travelling for work, Pam realized most of the people she was listening to were white men interviewing white people. Longing for diversity and relatability, Pam realized if she wasn't hearing stories from women of colour, she'd have to tell her own. It took three years, but after an offer of audio help from a music producer friend, Cafe con Pam was born. Even the title of her podcast encompasses her Latino roots, as it's a play on the Spanish phrase “cafe con pan” meaning coffee with bread.  Pam and Ronsley muse over the importance of diversity in the podcast world, as well as finding the confidence to tell your own story and carve out your own niche that creates a sense of inclusivity for others who may be feeling excluded.  Also within this episode: Where Pam's natural sense of selling comes from The difference between an artist and a creative Why it took Pam three years to start her podcast How it all started with a picture on a vision board Why thinking of her Grandmother erases Pam's self-doubt   Links: SpreadIdeasMovePeople.com Pam on LinkedIn Pam on Twitter Pam on Instagram
