Podcast #1 Yogis In Business. Yogi Your SELF to success
Featuring Heidi Benham of Yoga and Fitness Brand, The Form.
TRUTH. Looking after your SELF is just as important as taking care of business.
Do you though? I’m asking? Are you taking care of you? Or are you on a highway to burnout, foot to the floor, driving as fast and as hard as you can?
Err… (loving whisper in your noggin). This is not a long-term strategy. You can’t always be on at that sprint pace. Me singing: “So, don’t be so hard on yourself, no”, (good advice there from Jess Glynne). 🙂 We can make sense of this. You self-made your business to work for you. You can move the pieces how-so-ever you choose. 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.
Tune in… (grab a coffee, go for a walk, go out and do some errands). The beauty of a podcast is you can listen anytime, anywhere… so what are you waiting for?
