Cora Geroux

Lana and I first met, many, many moons ago when she attended a 50 HR Yin YTT that I was leading, fast forward another year and Lana and I got to hang out for a month straight in 2019, when she attended the very last 200 HR YTT I ever led. But long before Lana became a yoga teacher, she was serving her community in Niue with a brick & mortar massage business. 

I was so excited to have Lana join me on the podcast, because in the last year, she has started her own podcast, Love Letters From Lana. One of my favorite episodes is called “If you had permission to put yourself first, what would you do?” If you’re a recovering people pleaser like me, I highly recommend you go check it out - it’s a short, 5 minute example of what it looks like when a business owner puts themselves first.

Lana’s voice is super enjoyable to listen to, and she offers bite sized episodes that will invite you deeper into your inner life. 

PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS

  • Why Lana decided to start her podcast
  • How Lana went from deciding to start a podcast, to recording her first episode 20 minutes later
  • Alana’s hot tip for getting over the fear of putting yourself out there
  • Embracing fear & expansion at the same time
  • Tapping into the why behind a creative project to move past “what other people might think”
  • How Lana’s brand values informed a very important episode of her podcast
  • Opening up to non-linear business strategy
  • Lana’s 3 tips for finally getting started with releasing a podcast
