The Next Tuesday Podcast

How do you manage all of the roles and responsibilities of your life? This week we integrate Sarah Finger's wisdom into our lives. Sarah is the co-founder of ISHTA Yoga in NYC and Deepak Chopra's private yoga teacher.

This conversation considers yoga as a way of being, feeling, and participating in our lives. Sarah explains the dual meaning of ISHTA yoga as the acronym: The Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda; and, sharing its overarching meaning: "that which resonates with the individual spirit." We learn that ISHTA is the studio that welcomes all beings and is inclusive of everyone.

Sarah teaches us to learn to have compassion for ourselves both on and off the mat and to love the process, wherever we find ourselves: personally, professionally, and spiritually. She reminds us that it is sometimes the messiness of everything that facilitates our crystallization. We discuss the practice of yoga versus the business of yoga and the importance of learning to say "NO," set boundaries and communicate clearly. AND, we discuss the necessity of switching out of biz mode and prioritizing quality time with our loved ones.

In addition to learning about Sarah's experience as a business owner and a yogini, we also listen as she shares her insight and growing awareness via motherhood. We hear Sarah's love for her family and her desire for children to recognize their endless possibility and potential. Kids are unlimited, as we can be when we connect to the divine intelligence of the universe and get out of our heads.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to identify what you’re good at and create a successful life doing what you love? Shannon Siriano, aka “grandma” or who many refer to as their “fairy godmother” is doing just that: designing the lifestyle she desires and supporting others as they do the same for themselves. The owner of Lemon Umbrella, LLC, Shannon metaphorically invites people under her umbrella to create the space and grant the permission to flourish in doing what they wish to accomplish.

Listen as Shannon lets us in on her work to empower small business owners from her own successes. We learn from Shannon how to embrace our professional experiences in order to identify what we’re good at and push past the limiting beliefs we may carry around with us. We talk burnout, depression, creating space for opportunity, letting go of things that don’t feel good, the power of visualization, the importance of self-development and self-care, and we all validate the importance of validation in doing the things we know we want to be doing.

We also get the deets on Shannon’s latest endeavor, Rebelle Con, a women’s conference in Richmond November 9 – 11 that emphasizes: “Lifestyle design for entrepreneurial women.” As you listen to Shannon’s wisdom, you’ll hear her passion for creating a life that you love and why that is most important – more than any amount of money you make or success you have in your business. If you’re not living fully and enjoying life, but you tons of money, are you truly happy? You tell us. Purchase your tickets online now: http://www.rebellecon.com

Have you ever stopped to wonder how audio impacts the visuals you receive? We were WOW-ed by the artistry of Katie Boyle, audio engineer who makes 1/2 of Rian Hunter Production. This week Katie shares her journey through the sound biz beginning with an infatuation with a mixing board at 16 in her television production class.

Katie talks to us about cut throat nature of the audio business and earning her place as a woman in a traditionally "man's land". We hear about her professional journey as she eventually hits the ceiling and realizes it's time to create something of her own to inspire her continuous growth. We are inspired by the artists she's recorded and the professionalism that she exudes, while we empathize with her about the reality of stabilizing health care, honoring non-competes, staying productive during times of no work, and the importance of building relationships and establishing trust.

We can personally attest to Katie's awesomeness as she did the sound editing for this episode (once you get past our distance phone recorded intro) AND she gifted us with a new professionally mixed intro to our podcast and stinger recording. Make sure you listen all the way to the end - you'll get a special preview of her sound talents in the recording studio! Thanks, Katie!

Meet the People and Culture guru turning brand consultant, Carly McHale. Carly authentically shares her journey across the past couple decades to inspire us with her acquired wisdom + knowledge - she is not afraid to show up and be seen for who she truly is. And, it's awesome!

This conversation is loaded with moments that allow our personal reflection. We chat about everything from moving across the country to trying on identities to creating a life and career that you love. We discuss why we're always asking permission from others, why balance is important, and how showing up to be our true selves is the bravest thing we can do. We're reminded that being at our lowest points holds the possibility to facilitate our biggest breakthroughs. And, we're reminded that our lives are a blank canvas of potential and each moment invites opportunity to create more for ourselves.

Carly also shares her memories of living through Hurricane Katrina in NOLA. Listening to her account, we cannot help but hold love for all those currently suffering through Harvey, Irma, Jose + Maria. We're holding light and love for all navigating the aftermath of the Hurricanes.

Next Tuesday Podcast TRAVELS! We are kicking off our Charlotte, NC aka Queen City Series this week with Chelsea of the Mud Facial Bar and Ashley Cash, Owner and Creative Director of The Graceful Host.

The Mud Facial Bar graciously invited us to try out their 30 min in/out facial. Rather than a zen disrobing extravaganza, Care + Suz get energized in a fun party atmosphere while accommodating estheticians clean their dirty faces. Chelsea gives us the run down on the Aerial Fitness + Mud Facial Bar sister business Franchise, what a acupressure face massage is, + how you can now pop into get a facial as easily and quickly as it is to get your nails done. PLUS - it's Care's FIRST FACIAL EVER + you want to hear what she talks about while getting pampered.

THEN, you will meet ASHLEY, the Graceful Host who accommodates our sound this week by inviting us into her closet for maximum sound recording. Ashley lets us in on her "divine luck" to becoming a business owner of a wedding + event planning company in Charlotte, NC. Ashley takes us on her journey from the aspiring classical singer in college through the "I am not inspired" phase of muddling through professional jobs, to being handed a creative business to make her own. Serendipitous, we listen as Ashley explains how she has made the Graceful Host her own from creating concierge wedding planning services to investing in her clients as much as they invest in her. She talks about orchestrating an experience for her clients, learning by doing, attracting dream clients, and the real life hustle that's involved in every day of the business. This episode is packed with topics like: social media; transparency; boundaries; expectation; the power of relationships; + balance. You also will hear stories like how Care snuck on an airplane, how Suz had a chef knife off her tights, and how a wedding cake took a topple on Ash.

We cannot think of a more appropriate time to speak kindness into the universe than the day after the solar eclipse! This week, we learn from MegAnne Ford - owner of Be Kind Coaching - who reminds us all how important it is to be kind. She literally has it tattooed on her body, as if she needed a reminder.

MegAnne, the "RVA child whisperer turned parent coach," shares her passion to equip parents with the tools to build healthy, happy family relationships. She discusses everything from child development to mindfulness techniques, boundaries, consequences, and the power of authentic connection. We also look at the "unschooling" movement versus the traditional education system, wine and whine Wednesdays, Kind Club, the definition of "grit," and what the number one best question is.  Any parent, or one-day parent, will get tons of beneficial information by listening to MegAnne speak her passion into the universe. The best thing about it? MegAnne guarantees that that the skills she shares with parents are sustainable, and she reminds us that no one in life has anything figured out - we just do out best every damn day.

Also in this ep, Care + Suz share moments of their recent Charlotte road trip to interview more bad ass boss babes; we talk manifestation + eclipse energy; + we are reminded time and time again that our lives are constantly in transition. MegAnne kindly reminds us that the magic of our lives occurs when we choose to become comfortable with the uncomfortable.
