Don't Wait for Monday: start right here, right now. This is a podcast for the go-getters, optimists, and those looking to evoke change in themselves and the world around them.
Solo Episode: Emails from People Magazine, Starting a Business & Finding My Voice Amongst the Noise
This solo episode is equal parts life update and permission slip for anyone wondering if their next step is really worth the risk.
You’ll discover:
Why the “right” job often comes from relationships, not just resumes
How 200-hour yoga teacher training reshaped her confidence, identity, and teaching philosophy
What it feels like to go from student to instructor and why she believes yoga is never about being the most flexible person in the room
How The Artist’s Way helped spark Between Tides, her new LLC for yoga, meditation, and wellness experiences
What actually happens when a TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@_apatch_) post takes off and a People magazine email lands in your inbox
Essential listening if you need a reminder that you do not need the whole roadmap to change your life. Sometimes you just need the next right step.
