Today we’re sitting down with Chi Ndika. Chi is a small business owner and yoga instructor based in Austin, Texas. Chi started her Ice Cream business called Luv Fats Ice Cream after her mother needed more dairy free options in her life. We have a conversation about doing the things you enjoy, what it take to start your own business, and how to lean into uncomfortable positions in yoga and in life.

Here are ten things I learned from Chi:

1. Learn how to twerk.
2. In the end it’s your job to figure your shit out.
3. You have to get out to find your community.
4. Show up!!
5. Surround yourself with a good network.
6. You don’t have to conquer your fears to pursue something that is scary.
7. Lean into uncomfortable moments and periods of your life.
8. Breathe bitch.
9. Take a moment to hear yourself think.
10. Don’t follow your friends.
