Well we worked out the mind bending time changes and sat for a good chat. The Middle Aged Goddess has a bit of an edge, is doing her best on another lockdown down under and making some changes in her life.

Enjoy and happy Friday!

I had such a fantastic time speaking with Karen and getting to know more about her life. We have become friends and supporters of each other in our pursuit to bring yoga/movement to people in ways that are available to those who might not be young and super mobile. It’s a long chat, but listen through to the end, there are some fantastic insights Karen has on being raised in an army family in the UK and being a black woman in the yoga/wellness arena.

Thank you for listening! Have a wonderful weekend!

This was quite a long conversation. We all had plenty to say. This is part one and the rest of the conversation will be available next Wednesday 7/29. This part is all about the pandemic as we recorded this in early May and well even in July things are still uncertain.
You will hear a musical intro that was written and recorded by Natalia Soul. She has written and recorded a theme song that I will be sharing with the second part of the conversation on Wednesday. Natalia was a guest from season one and we are working on another conversation next month.
You can find all of them on Instagram at the links below.

This was such a treat to sit down and speak with Trina. She has helped me tremendously on my own path of exploration of movement. I did in fact get to go take her workshops in early March at https://www.yogainthecenter.com right before the world shut down. It was a treat and I enjoyed just being a student for the entire time. You can go look for her classes and any other upcoming workshops that may be coming in your area on her website: https://trinaaltman.com . If you want to find her on Instagram you can find her: https://www.instagram.com/trinaaltman
While we recorded this last July and a few things have changed since then, all of her wealth of information is there and she has finished the writing portion of her book. Look for it coming soon.
Thank you for joining me on this journey to share women’s stories. Trina’s story shows just how you can start in one spot and move on your journey to an entirely different space.

Morgan started yoga in her basement after 10 years of competitive swimming. Admitting that she hated yoga at first, she eventually found her way from her basement to a large following, creating her own E-book series leading to videos on her app. There has been a lot of life between that basement and today and she shares that journey.
Shawna, while a new introduction for me and admittedly less involved in social media, drew me into her own story and path. The both of them were on different trajectories that eventually lead them to each other. I appreciate their honesty, their real wish to share and this was one of those conversations that I did not want to end, I could have talked with them all day.
Enjoy and please share.
Sherry
Joining me is Kathryn Budig, back for another great conversation. One of things that I have found is that all the ladies I have contacted have time to chat right now. Not only did we talk about the situation in the world, we talked about books, her online book club and her new novel that she finished at the end of 2019. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we enjoyed it.

Joining me today is Marina, a lawyer, a yogi, a self professed hippie as well as a skateboarder. She and her partner partnered up to create Zupac Law. Marina talks about what she wants to do with both yoga and the law practice together. The law firm is upstairs and the yoga studio is down stairs and not only do they offer regular yoga classes, but they host events as well in the space. In addition to that they have a mobile law office and they go out into the community to help people and work to demystify the work they do. Marina has a practice of manifesting not only her clients, but also the supporting staff that she works with.

She combines her love of yoga, HIIT, squats and handstands to share a great full body workout. Brooke is a mom of two and we talk about the difference between her son and her toddler daughter and how much she loves the life of living on Hawaii. She also shares her very personal and vulnerable experience with an eating disorder. I am so grateful for her honesty and deeply personal journey.

Kindra and I had so much fun talking about stories together. She shared how telling stories became such a big part of her life. She wanted to venture out to create her own company and not knowing what that might look like, she explained how she got her first speaking engagement and how she decided that would be what she would build her business around. After all of her speaking opportunities, she wanted to be able to share her knowledge of the power of stories with a wider audience and that led her to write her book, Stories that Stick. Her book releases in September!

Thank you for listening and have a wonderful weekend.

This is part 2 of my conversation with Mindy. She shares all of the story around her mother’s murder in 2001 and the book she is writing. I loved hearing her motivation and dreams for what the book might help say about women as victims of violence.
Check out Mindy’s website: http://dearmindy.com/
Mindy joins me for another long conversation that will be available in two parts. Part 1 is all about her career in the military for 20 years, a surprise baby later in life and her transition back to civilian life. Mindy is a blogger, columnist and writer. Part 2 is all about her writing a book about the murder of her mother by a serial killer. Part 2 will be live on Wednesday, so come back to hear all about her research and work to write about the murders many years after the fact.
Thank you for listening.

This is the second part of my conversation with Anjua and if you haven’t listened to part one, please go and listen to that as well. She is filled with inspiring wisdom and learning.
Thanks for listening!

Anjua Maximo is a force, she’s a master Life Coach, a speaker and co-founder of GrooveRyde. This woman is a mover and shaker, has some great business vision and brings a great attitude about life to round out the mix. We had such a great time chatting together that we just kept chatting and chatting. This was a long episode for just one episode, so I have divided into to two, a longer one with a shorter one that will go live next Wednesday. So please look for that mini episode next week.

Due to scheduling issues May’s Topic Talk will be on hiatus. There is a whole lot going on for all of us right now. It’s my birthday Sunday and I have decided to talk about something I feel very strongly about. A woman’s right to choose, what to do with her body, her life and making sure that the war on women doesn’t take away our rights to our own bodies and lives. Be advised there are plenty of salty words in this one. I love a good salty word, because they are just words after all. You don’t have to believe what I believe and I hope that you will consider what I have to say and do your thinking and researching what’s going on. I’m a fighter, I will always fight for what I believe most in. You have the choice to listen to this or not, that’s the thing about choice.

This was quite an interview! It took some work to get it scheduled but I never gave up because I so wanted to have this conversation and share her amazing story. She took flying lessons at 15, quite flying to become a pro snowboarder, went back to flying after an injury and went from flying small planes to helicopters and also teaching others to fly. She now owns her own helicopter business in Alaska and takes the winters to travel the US and practice yoga along the way. The big thing now is that she is the first female jet pack pilot. Her story is so inspiring and I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did having the conversation. As always, thank you for listening!

Today my friend Sadie joins me on the pod to talk yoga, life on the road, and life after 40. Sadie has been sharing her yoga style on YouTube since 2002, well before social media, offering her classes for free and creating videos and classes. Today she has her The Fit & Fierce Club with courses and classes and an app that goes across all platforms.
