Curiosity after reading The Power of Myth in college led me to search for a yoga studio home.
3.
Divorce with two small children helped me to focus on being present with my kids in order to heal.
4.
Was laid off from soul-sucking corporate job. Took the leap and created my own yoga business.
5.
Took a job as a teacher at Fusion Academy, education with soul.
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
You're a single mom now, go get a real job like every other single mom who sacrifices herself.
How I responded:
I got very still and practiced what I teach. I took deep breaths back into my own self. I asked myself why I wanted to become a yoga teacher/mentor. I realized the need in me to do that was greater than the need to make sense to others about my choices.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
When I chose to create my own business I had no savings and financial backing. I was hustling to make ends meet, teaching a lot, doing odd jobs, and trading services.
