Have you ever met someone where you just felt like you knew him or her even if you've never met before?

This is how I felt when I met yoga teacher and retreat leader, Sarah-Jane Perman.  Sarah-Jane wandered into a workshop I was leading at Burning Man and the whole time I kept wondering, "How do I know this person?"  

After the workshop, we chatted and found we had lots to talk about.  I discovered Sarah-Jane was on a mission to open people's hearts around the world by leading goddess retreats from Australia to Bali, to Tulum, Nicaragua and beyond.

I was immediately drawn to her positivity and ability to trust in the universe, so I invited her to an interview on the Rising Women Leaders podcast. 

In this episode we talk about: 

  • Tips and rituals Sarah-Jane uses to tune into her intuition
  • How she left a job as a marketing director on Australia's Next Top Model at Warner Brothers to follow her dream of teaching yoga, traveling to epic locations and leading retreats
  • What it means to live "An Open Heart Life"
  • Insights on the awakening of our collective consciousness and the importance of sisterhood

"She took a leap and built her wings on the way down."

This week on the Rising Women Leaders podcast, I interviewed yoga teacher and published author, Kimber Simpkins. 

I met Kimber when we were teaching yoga at the same studio in Berkeley three years ago.  I instantly fell in love with her classes, her singing with the harmonium, and her passion of writing.

Since I've known Kimber, she finished writing her book, self-published it, and then signed a contract to re-release it with a national publisher.  Her book, Full: How I learned to Satisfy My Insatiable Hunger and Feed My Soul, is now available online and in bookstores across the country.  Her next book, 52 Ways to Love Your Body is officially coming out in January.

As a writer and yoga teacher myself, I was excited to sit down with Kimber and hear more about her story, how she published her first book, and what role vulnerability and self-love played in the process.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Daily practices to love our body
  • One of Kimber's favorite meditation practices from Pema Chodron
  • How we've been inspired by Brene Brown and the concept of Daring Greatly
  • How she wrote and published her first book
  • Kimber's upcoming yoga & writing retreat at Orr Hotsprings (I'm excited to be there, and there are a couple spots left!)

Kimber leaves us with the question, "What is one thing you can do today to show your body that you care?"

I'd love to hear what you'll do in the comments.

You can learn more about Kimber, her upcoming retreats and  30 Day Love Your Body Course   here. 

With love, Meredith
