How often have you held yourself back from following a dream, desire, or heart felt urge because you "didn't know how" or "didn't have the resources?"

In these days of social media overload, it seems that we are bombarded with shiny penny examples of success that are either just transparent enough for us to not really trust the man (or woman) behind the curtain or are so awe inspiring that we fall into a massive comparison ditch, both of which often lead us to giving up, opting out, settling, or playing small.

Today's guest, Katie Wilken, stands out as a luminous example of doing just the opposite. She consistently chooses to stand up, break free, and create a radiant life for herself, her family, and those she serves.

One of the things that I love about Katie is how openly and honestly, she lives her life, shares her message, and offers her work in its many beautiful creative forms.

She is fiercely creative and passionately believes in the healing power and potential of creativity.

In today's episode, we talk about cultivating creativity as an adult.

The beautiful momentum that can be found in creativity, especially as it relates to healing from trauma.

The unending lessons and magic to be found in lifelong learning and expansion of Self, and Katie's unlikely path into the practice and art of teaching of Kundalini Yoga.

Bethany Bubenzer is one of the most stylish, fully herself, and interesting yogis I know.

As she says, she studied all the rules and decided for herself which ones to break.

I absolutely love this conversation Bethany's passion and very well researched knowledge pours out of her nonstop.

In this episode, we talk about her practice of yoga in her life, daily, in all ways. It is so much more than impressive handstands. Although, her story about her handstand practice is pretty great and she shares it toward the end of our conversation.

Bethany is a rockstar yoga teacher and life coach who connects with her students and clients via yogi mentoring, life styling (how cool is that!) and teaching yoga classes to individuals and groups of all sizes.

She's led yoga teacher training in Jerusalem and the West Bank as a Senior Teaching Ambassador with the Olive Tree Yoga Foundation. Hearing her story about how and why she ended up doing this beautiful work is sure to inspire you to seriously move your practice off the mat and get to work living your yoga practice is a much larger way.

We talk about the business of yoga in a beautiful way that is a must hear for any new yoga teachers and those that are established in their craft but struggling to pay the bills.
