As an introvert, I loathe shallow conversations. I prefer silence over "chatting" any day. However, I love deep conversations. When I teach yoga, as much as I try to learn the names of the students who attend my classes regularly, sometimes its challenging to learn much more than that.
A few weeks ago a student of mine asked me if I taught yoga for a living. I told him that it is hard to make a living teaching yoga, and that I teach yoga and doing eating disorder recovery coaching. Combined - that is my living. He seemed really interested in that, and became more interested when I mentioned that I was starting a podcast.
As it turns out, Derek is a mental health counselor, undergraduate instructor, and a researched in Supported Education at Rutgers University. He hosts his own podcast called College Student Success Podcast , which is devoted to helping college students with mental health issues succeed in achieving their goals.
Here is my interview on his podcast!
