Guest BIO: 

Adair Finucane is multi-passionate. She is a social worker, artist, yoga student and teacher, writer, and horse advocate. As a feeler of the world, her aim is to help as many people as possible (including herself!) live a more joyful, peaceful life. She uses her various areas of interest, especially social work and teaching kundalini yoga, to further this goal. Having enrolled in August 2019, Adair looks forward to what further treasures being a part of the YHC community will bring. She lives in her hometown of Rochester, NY with James, the love of her life. You can find Adair and her writing at www.withadair.com.

Natasha has always been interested in health and wellness and often used herself as a guinea pig for different modalities. After completing her 200 RYT yoga teacher training, she started researching health coaching programs. She found YHC and chose to study with Cate because of the community support and the business training, aspects that were missing from the other programs she had investigated.

Prior to YHC, Natasha was working a “dead end” job that she did not find fulfilling. Getting laid off allowed her to pursue her passions: yoga and health. She now makes her own schedule, and she feels like she’s growing every day. Helping her clients and seeing her business grow while continuing to learn more in YHC is a rewarding experience that brings her happiness on a daily basis.

• How YHC differs from other health coaching programs.
• Why you WANT to go through Body Thrive before, during, and after YHC.
• How YHC can help you find your way to a dynamic, rewarding wellness career.

Show Highlights:

• 6:00 – One of the standout aspects of Yoga Health Coaching going through Body Thrive before beginning the training.
• 7:00 – YHC has three components: 1. Ayurvedic health study, 2. Coaching training, and 3. Business course.
• 8:00 – The community aspect of YHC provides multiple levels of support that sets YHC apart from most other online, web-based, “distance” programs.
• 12:00 – While YHC is structured, there is enough flexibility within the structure that if you “fall behind,” it’s not an issue.
• 14:10 – Often, YHC allows people to transition out of unfilling jobs into meaningful, dynamic careers.
• 19:00 – In YHC, you get to uplevel your own health in a sustainable way. Each time you go through Body Thrive and each time you teach the habits to your clients and go through it with them, you experience another evolution of you.
• 23:00 – Body Thrive and YHC change the way you show up in relationships. Your capacity for communication improves, and when you live the habits, you lead by example and people begin to see you as an authority.

So tune in to hear what I have gained, the lessons I’ve learned, and some of my reflections from the past couple of years. And after the podcast, I hope you can reflect on things you learned that you won’t repeat, and also things you learned that you want to keep. I hope this podcast is helpful to you for reflecting on your past year, and for launching into the new one. Enjoy!

Show Highlights:

• 1:45 – Lessons Learned aren’t necessarily mistakes made: sometimes, they’re what worked really well. By pausing to notice, reflect, and witness the transformation that took place, we can grow exponentially more than if we didn’t take that time.
• 8:00 – While we may not find a local community that supports us in our growth path, by having an online community in Yogahealer, we can connect with people who are directly aligned with our goals, intentions, and purpose.
• 9:00 – Our problems are not unique. There is usually someone out there who is going through or has gone through a similar experience, and we can help each other get through it.
• 10:00 – Forgiveness is a powerful tool, especially when we can direct it toward ourselves. Through a lens of forgiveness, instead of viewing things as mistakes, we can look at them as opportunities to grow and change.
• 12:40 – FAIL = First Attempts In Learning. The difference between failure and success is that we keep going and don’t quit. Failure is not finite, but rather an opportunity to learn something and continue in personal and professional evolution.
• 13:30 – The YHC community is completely based in helping each other and seeing each other’s potential. By having this community to go back to and receive help digesting our failures, we can take risks in a way that is completely supported.
