YIB Podcast #5 | Inspiring Success with Side Gigs

Finding Passion and Purpose.
I read today that women are a third less likely than men to start a business.
This week’s YIB podcast guest, Sheena Shah, is running two and holding down a job as an Optometrist. Pretty impressive right? (Smashed that stat💪).
In this incredibly open conversation, Sheena talks about her passion to help people take their lives from where they are to where they want them to be and how she’s successfully grown her Pure and Raw Goodies business by word-of-mouth and a Facebook page.
She also reveals her ultimate purpose – to inspire her two young girls to become strong, successful, independent women. (Job done Sheena🙏👍🏼).
How to do nothing and take charge of your health, life and happiness.

3 REASONS NOT TO SKIP SHAVASANA
Let me take your mind to the end of any yoga class. What happens? If you answered ‘blanky time’, ‘Zzzzz’ or ‘I leave – I really haven’t got time for this’ you might just catch me let out a soft sigh of understanding before I wade right in with a yoga reality slap. (Tough love sorry, it’s how this yogi rolls 😝).
What if I told you that this beautiful bookend to your practice called Shavasana/Savasana (or corpse pose), is the pose for taking charge of your life, health and happiness.
Intrigued? Read the blog – it includes a big announcement.😝.
YIB Podcast #4 | Doing business with heart.

How to set boundaries and be a heart-centred entrepreneur.
Josie here and I’m back on the podcast talking to homeopath, Lisa Shefchick who spends her days bringing health and balance into people’s lives and empowering women through birth.
Our conversation brings home how easy it is to put your own health, happiness and wellbeing at the back of the queue, especially when you’re trying to run a heart-centered business.
Lisa share’s some beautiful insights on this and other topics and kindly offers her own practical tips on creating an ideal working week, managing clients, and controlling email.
There’s that, and so much more. You’ll have to tune in to the audio to get the rest. Come on in.

Take a break, breathe, and realign with your overall mission – which is to feel good! Is it not? This has got to be our primary aim.
Start now. Join me in convo with Heidi Benham, co-founder of The Form, a very cool yoga and fitness brand which is all about sustainability. And so is Heidi.
Check out the habits, practices and yogi-inspired disciplines that are fuelling Heidi’s soul-driven life…and success.

IS LIFE TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING?

…and how to hunt down your ‘most-wanted’ emotions
Hey yogi friend. Right now, I’m listening to these lyrics…. Alanis Morissette. Recognise them? Feel free to sing along.
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
Bam… it’s like – ‘hey… you talking to me?’ At the risk of sounding kooky, it feels like something ‘out there,’ right now, in this moment, has my back. Music does that for me – a lot. How bout you?

Plus: A Peek Inside My 30 Day Cleanse
If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you want for yourself next year?
What experiences are you hoping for?
How do you want to feel?
What emotions do you want more of?
When you ask yourself these questions, were any of your answers the same as those you had last year and the year before that? At the risk of voicing the depressingly obvious, does that not kinda suck… real bad?
YOGA FOR WHEN IT ALL GOES SCREWY

And for when you’re just not feeling all that positive mindset m’larky
I got a post in my newsfeed just now that curiously aligned with what I wanted to share with you this week. So here it is…
It said:
If you fail, never give up because F.A.I.L means First Attempt In Learning.
End, is not the end. In fact, E.N.D means “Effort Never Dies”.
If you get NO as an answer, remember N.O means “Next Opportunity”.
Your most valuable Christmas gift EVER is right this way.

Come on in and unwrap your freebie.
I’ll jump right in and say it. It’s the end of November and life’s about to get even busier, crazier and more pressured. Agreed?
And, that my yogi friend will make it soooo much harder for you to put your health and wellbeing first. I get that – we all want to have a good time at Christmas and it’s a huge pressure not to fall in with the crowd and think to hell with it, I’ll go along for the ride until January.
But here’s the question. Is it what you want?
