For #breakfast earlier this #morning I had some #vegan #strawberry and #banana pancakes and sausages 😋... My batter consisted of one ripe banana, half a cup of instant #quakeroats and #almondmilk blended smooth but thick and then fried in some #coconutoil... 🤗🍌🍓💛❤️ . . . . . . #animallover #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #yogaeverydamnday #whatveganseat #backtonature #freeleethebananagirl #fruit #fruitarian #fruitariansofig #healthiswealth #italisvital #likeayogi #vegan #nobloodnobones #crueltyfree #compassion #friendsnotfood

MIND YOUR MIND // mindset isn't everything, but the quality & content of our thoughts will determine the quality of our days & will pave the way for the results we experience : in business & in life. While mindset isn't everything, it affects everything. For too long, I sold myself a storyline that was neither real nor true. It went a little something like this : "I'm bad at business because I care about people, not profits." "I'll never be wealthy because money doesn't matter to me." "I shouldn't expect more / higher / better compensation for my work, because I'm not worth more (I mean, who am I to expect more? I'm nothing, I know so little, others are wiser & more capable. Besides, I'm privileged anyway & wanting more is greedy)." Of course, much of this storyline operated well below the conscious level, but these negative thought forms poisoned my best efforts again & again. Real change didn't happen until I was brave enough to challenge these toxic thinking patterns IN THE MOMENT. Yes, it takes courage to break the mental bonds that keep you stuck & suffering. Yes, it takes discernment (grab the sword of Truth, dear one). Yes, it takes commitment. But remember: your mind will always believe what you tell it. And it's up to you to tell a different story. Ready to change your story & change your life as a #consciousentrepreneur? Join us for a brave & heart-filled exploration of conscious cash flow - the Conscious Cashflow Challenge begins in Monday, 4/18. There will be swords of truth, money mantras & a brave exploration of financial ease as a healer, helper & heart-centered woman in business.

THE THING ABOUT ROCK BOTTOM IS THAT THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP. 5 years ago, I never could have imagined being as happy as I am in this photo (+ today!). I began my yoga teaching career full of passion, enthusiasm + purpose. Four years later I was burned out, $40,000 in debt + disillusioned. At that time, I was a graduate-trained nutritionist + health coach, a 1000-hour #YogaTherapist, a teacher trainer and a #yogastudioowner. I was working 60+ hours a week, nearly every week. Vacation? What’s that? Healthcare? Nope. Luxuries? Nada. I've made a few mistakes in business + one biggee? NOT paying myself early on and DIY'ing everything in my first business (as a Yoga Studio owner). Because I reinvested everything in the business, my husband and I were living on his unemployment check (that’s a longer story), the kindness of our family, meager savings + credit cards. I was ashamed. Resentful. Overworked. Overwhelmed. Underpaid. Mostly? I was so exhausted from doing all the right things + seeing zero results. You see, I followed all the rules. I worked hard in high school so I could get a scholarship to college —then I worked 2-3 jobs during college so I'd stay out of debt. Then, when I realized my B.A. was worth next to nothing in the competitive job market, I went to grad school + just to be safe I earned a yoga therapy certificate at the same time. When I still couldn't find "gainful employment" (because very few knew what the heck a #YogaTherapist + #HealthCoach was 10 years ago), I started a business. I opened a Yoga Studio/Ecoboutique in a town where yoga was new, revolutionary + completely foreign. So I hustled, I networked, I educated. I brought yoga to schools and businesses. I marketed my quiet-loving-INFJ-socks off. I was patient, persistent, pragmatic + gritty. After 4 long years, I was so tired. I was a new mommy on an emotional roller coaster with no end in sight. The shit hit the fan when I found myself in a severe depression —that I recognized was a very bad sign. But that rock-bottom moment was a universal wake-up call. {[ read more about what I shifted with tangible takeaways for your biz #ontheblog]} #likeayogi

WHAT CHANGE DO YOU WISH TO SEE? /// I want more women-owned, purpose-driven businesses. I want more dharma-driven commerce, more money allocated to education & more people who practice self-care as empowered healthcare. I'm being the change by living these truths with my time, business efforts & money- I invest in education, self-care (and soon!) I'll be investing in women-owned businesses with a conscious cause. Because business, for me, is a powerful tool for exponential good - and world changing solutions 💚 /// HOW ARE YOU BEING THE CHANGE TODAY? #likeayogi #consciousentrepreneur #growthcatalyst

WHAT NEEDS OFFERING UP TODAY? // A year ago, I was coming home from a photo shoot with the epic @cjust. There had been some big changes brewing in my heart & mind mind & I knew those changes were going to affect my business. What I didn't know was how to make those changes work. For a long time I had been building two businesses simultaneously : my coaching practice and @thewisdommethod. Sharing yoga felt dharma-bound but I couldn't escape the harsh reality: my lifestyle as a teacher trainer no longer worked in my reality as a mother to a small one. I also felt an inner whisper to go bigger - but I was maxed out in hours taught & I literally couldn't add more to my plate. That day on the flight home, I put on my big dreaming hat & dug into exactly what I wanted to create (& why). Spacious expansion. Lifestyle as art. Business as spiritual work. Mostly? Transformative experiences to teach women how to step into their power, expand their own income and influence. (Also: Many many many books.) This path didn't include teaching yoga - & that terrified me. As a yogini with an 18 year daily practice & over 10,000 hours of teaching (most of that training other yoga therapists), letting go of #teachingyoga felt like too big a sacrifice- it felt like I was losing a piece of my soul. But I also couldn't ignore my inner wisdom - & my inner guides were telling me to expand beyond the yoga community & bring YOGA into business (not the other way around). So I listened to my inner guides & took a big leap. I offered up the results & stepped onto a new path. The result? More freedom. More ease. More inner (& outer) alignment. More joy. More spaciousness. And it all started when I decided to offer it up. // WHAT DO YOU NEED TO OFFER UP to have more of what you want - in life & in business? #likeayogi

#BIZTIPTUESDAY // the Self-Care Edition // if you're in the healing, helping and wellness fields, chances are you have a deep desire to facilitate change and encourage others in their healing journey. In fact, many of us in these fields came to yoga, massage, meditation, acupuncture, therapy, coaching or integrative medicine because of personal crises. Your passion and enthusiasm for healing may have even eclipsed your own personal needs at times. Maybe your own self-care has slipped to the extent that burnout is a common occurrence (or at least a recent memory). My own healing journey began at age 17 with meditation, Ayurveda, healing essential oils and Buddhist studies. Over the next several years, I added yoga, pranayama and Western nutrition to the mix of self-care supports to maintain a mindful lifestyle. Today I'm sharing the SelfCare tips that keep me grounded, vibrant & productive over on the blog - because self care is a powerful strategy for business success www.KellieAdkins.com/blog to read more // #consciousentrepreneur #SelfCare {[link in profile]} #likeayogi

Getting some CEO time in this morning and realizing that the bigger the dream, the better the focus. So many women put big dreams on the back burner because they're unsure of HOW to make them happen. (That's both my personal opinion & professional experience empowering other women entrepreneurs). This list flowed out of me after #meditation this morning & I'm endeavoring to live these remembrances each day - in business & in life. . What's your favorite one? (Mine is "fuck the how's!" <-- because I've learned the How To is usually waaaay easier than you think! Commit first- How comes next). . Have a leading lady who needs to dream bigger today - in business or in life? Tag her here. 💃🏽💃🏾💃🏿💃🏼💃 #empowerup #empoweringwomen #likeayogi
