Bonus! I usually do one full episode a week but was inspired to record a bonus episode while back in my hometown.

For anyone who's moved away from their hometown, has gone through a major transition, or somehow feels out of place in life, this is for you.

The Frenchman (aka Adrien aka my husband & business partner) is back! We're doing a 2 part series on business, entrepreneurship & yoga, and this is the first installment.

We're talking about some of the difficulties of getting started and how to know when it's time to quit.

Enjoy!

Today I have a very special guest who I can't wait to introduce you to... Jaimee Ratliff! We're talking about yoga business scandals (you know the one), morning routines, overcoming hardships, & I'm asking some uncomfortable questions about race & yoga. Grab your coffee or tea and sit down with us for this figurative fireside chat ;)

We're continuing our conversation about spirituality from last week, this time taking it out of our daily life and into our yoga practice. Let's answer the age old question: do yoga & spirituality go together? Can they be separated?

There's a few questions I wanted to answer around this subject, so buckle up, friends! Let's talk this through!

The other day I decided I was going to have one of those conversations everyone tells you never to have. Everyone says you should never talk about religion or politics in polite company. And when I’m around people I don’t know, I agree! If you invite me to your house for coffee or Thanksgiving dinner, I would never bring this stuff up!

But when I’m around people I do know and enjoy talking to, I love talking about this stuff. I don’t find it distasteful or controversial because as long as we can keep it open and non-judgmental even when we disagree, I think it’s good to talk about these things.

So today's episode is around a sensitive subject, but one I think we can have a meaningful conversation here and better understand each other. This is the first installment of this spirituality series. In the next one we'll talk about how spirituality fits into yoga and whether yoga & religion/spirituality belong together or not.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear your thoughts on all this!

I'm SO looking forward to sharing this one. My friend Micha (Kundalini Meditation Teacher) & I had such a great conversation about meditation. We chatted about everything from...

+ How to make meditation a habit

+ What the real point of meditation is

+ What we think of fake gurus

+ Practical meditation advice

+ 2 guided meditations you can do right now

+ That time one of us accidentally set an altar on fire (!!!)

... and so much more!

Today’s episode is gonna get me into some trouble, no doubt.

We'll talk about...

- What is "sensitivity" & what do I mean by it?

- How do we talk about controversial/potentially triggering topics without immediately being labeled as someone who has bad intentions?

- My (somewhat) harsh opinion about sensitivity in our culture

- My challenge to YOU

RACE, CULTURE, & THE FALSE FAIRY TALE. After Relationship Therapy Part 1, we had such a huge response we knew we had to make a part 2.

In this episode, we’re approaching it with the same attitude we did in the first one. We’ll speak from our experience and hopefully help you add some mindfulness to your own relationships, but please take “therapy” lightly. We’re not licensed pros, just two people sharing our personal experiences over the last 10+ years.

In this episode we’ll talk about…

+ handling difficult transitions in life with mindfulness

+ how we keep the “flame burning” even as daily life goes on

+ dealing with the other when they’re in a bad mood

+ how different race & culture influence our relationship

+ that time we fought in Paris

+ “surprise rituals”

+ the fairy tale flaw

Enjoy!

I’ll just say right off the bat that we use the term “therapy” lightly here. We wanted to record a podcast together & do something for Valentine’s Day that wasn’t overly corny. I put the question out to social media asking what you’d like to hear us chat about when it comes to relationships. I was blown away by your vulnerability & openness, so I knew I had to make this episode available outside of iTunes, too 😉

This special episode is all about relationships, but mainly our own. We’ve been through a lot over the last (nearly) 11 years together and thought it could be helpful to share some of our experiences. It’s not that we think we’re experts by any means, but sometimes it’s nice to hear from people who are of a similar mindset & in your same age range about topics that matter to you, like relationships.

So that’s the inspiration behind this episode. We talk about OUR own experience and aren’t giving YOU specif

Is social media helping or harming the yoga community? I have my theories that I’m sharing today.
