Learn about all the things I’ve done “wrong” in business and my key takeaways. Inspired by my conversation with Dave Ursillo in which we talked about his “failed” book launch, I open up and talk about two whole companies that I launched, which didn’t quite work out quite as planned... Enjoy my post-mortem on my experiences, including the lessons I took away. These learnings helped me form the successful yoga business that I love running today.

Today’s special episode is a guided, energetic clearing exercise with Art Giser. Let’s deprogram what’s not serving us! For the first fifteen minutes of this episode, Art explains how the exercise works, what to expect and how we can see the negative energy of others as a gift. I ask him about INTUITION and what role it plays in NLP. According to Art, oftentimes what we think is our intuition could be subconscious programming we’ve inherited. The second fifteen minutes of this episode is a powerful, guided, energy clearing visualization with Art. Sit or lie down. Get comfy. I had incredible insights doing this one! Enjoy!
