138: A Business Strategy Pep Talk with Jackie Murphy
If you are a yoga teacher trying to make anything close to a full time income with your work, then you are an entrepreneur. Many of us resist that truth, or we at least resist some of the work that is associated with being a small business owner.
That is why today I’m so excited to introduce you to Jackie Murphy. She is here to give us all a business strategy pep talk!

Being a yoga teacher, heck being a PERSON, is TOUGH right now. But having a job that requires presence and vulnerability and groundedness all the time requires we pour into ourselves so we have something to give.
I LOVE hearing the behind the scenes details of people’s lives and routines. And I’m so happy to say that after a pretty stressful few years, I have my self care routines DIALED IN right now! In today’s episode of the podcast I am sharing the daily, weekly + monthly routines that make me the teacher I want to be.
It might sound kind of silly, but I treat being a full-time yoga teacher and parent as a high performance job and it is WORKING for me!
