The Yogi Show | Yoga, Mindfulness, and Gratitude with a Touch of HumorSeason 2 - Ep. 6 | Interview with Erin Motz aka Bad YogiThank you for being here. We had a fun time chatting with Erin Motz on this episode. Erin and her partner are the founders of Bad Yogi. In her 13+ year time as a yoga teacher, she's always jokingly called herself a Bad Yogi because she didn’t fit in with the stereotypical yoga drones who all dressed, looked, and acted alike no matter what city she visited. Erin is the original creator of the Inhale Tacos Exhale Negativity meme so yeah she's super cool.

Bad YogiLiesel Teen: How to Birth It Up Like a Total BOSSLiesel Teen, also known as @mommy.labornurse, is today's guest. She's a labor & delivery nurse turned blogger. I started following her a couple months ago for her super fun facts about birth & pregnancy. I LOVED her stuff on Instagram & later learned she had this course called Birth It Up which preps you for a natural delivery in a hospital. This was my intention going into birth, so I got the course (which is INSANELY affordable, BTW), LOVED it, & knew I had to have her on the podcast.
I bought the course with my...

For some context, John is a licensed therapist, published author, speaker, and life coach. But he started a blog called The Angry Therapist as a place to be himself without a filter while he was going through a divorce. It turned into something people really resonated with because typically people don't see therapists as real people with real feelings. He didn't want to be that guy. He blogged about his shortcomings, revelations, and his views on...

The Soul Mammas PodcastDo you constantly question yourself as a mom? Today's Bad Yogi Erin Motz tells us why we should have more compassion for ourselves & let go of mom guilt.I love the idea behind new mama & entrepreneur Erin Motz's brand Bad Yogi. I have often thought of myself as a bad yogi also or didn't fit into one box. Today this mama tells us why she wanted to make yoga accessible to everyone + a little more accepting to the world. Erin speaks candidly about the "internal tug of war" of wanting to spend time with your kids & contribute creatively to the world. She also speaks about mom guilt and how we can never win in our own minds and are often really hard on ourselves.

I'm interviewing a life coach. I know, I know. Eye roll, right? But here's my thought process: as I was looking for interesting people to talk to, I came across this guy named Jator Pierre who was actually recommended to me from JP Sears. So already that's one level of skepticism removed. Anyway, back to my thought process... lately I've been thinking that maybe *some* of the things I roll my eyes at are actually some of the things I need to hear. Or at least need to be OPEN...

Today I have Felicia Bender to talk about her style of numerology which she calls Practical Numerology. I got tons of questions but a fair amount of pushback from people saying this is BS or it's evil or it conflicts with Christianity-- all kinds of stuff.
Personally, I found this super interesting & fun to learn about! I didn't feel like it c...
