Following with Tracy Rhinehart

Creative Flow is defined by feelings of joy, ease, and pleasure—and that infectious enthusiasm was the exact energy in my conversation with Regina Loiko. Regina is a true multi-hyphenate: a team development coach/consultant, a children's book author, a yoga student, and a home baker who gives the British baking champions a run for their money! During our conversation, we looked at creativity...

Sometimes you sit and talk to with someone familiar and discover them anew - only to feel that you've known them forever! For me, this was that conversation and Michelle Falcone is that gal.  We scheduled the chat to share information about Michelle's upcoming meditation offerings at The Light. And we discovered many connections and commonalities. Michelle is an energy worker and psychic...

Perhaps you remember a time when "what's your sign?" was nothing more than a joke.  And perhaps you've explored enough to discover that knowing your sun sign, moon sign + rising sign is helpful information for navigating the complexities of life.  Or perhaps you're somewhere in between....  In any case, this conversation is likely to stretch both your mind and your heart. ...

Sometimes you meet someone and you just know in that instant: They are true blue goodness.  Christie Murdoch strikes a lot of people that way. She's an artist, a fashion designer, an entrepreneur and small business owner - and she does it all with a huge heart for community, sustainability and social responsibility.   She's a friend to many AND she practices here at Studio 108! In this c...

We're going out into the deep water here. Grab your noodle if you must.  Microdosing is a conversation that I've been following for a few years now. And you know how I follow: with a great deal curiosity and - in this case - a healthy dose of caution.  So when my friend Nata (remember her from the She Who Rises breath work + cacao events?) said that she supports folks in microdosing expe...

You don't get better life-talk than when you sit with Abby Dosen. Abby is teacher, a mother, a published author and the leader of Studio 108's book club. But the beauty of our conversations is not from these roles + responsibilities....  The goodness of our conversations is a result of Abby's intentionality.  Abby lives intentionally - not perfectly but certainly intentionally. And...

I remember when Mike Boyes first came to Studio 108 to practice Kundalini Yoga.... We were in the front room. Yup! This was prior to those pilates reformers! It was sunny hot on the windows and Mike sat to my right. His presence was confident + steady. His gaze didn't waiver.  After class, we talked about the practice. He shared that he had just finished teacher training and was looking forwa...

Welp, it's been 7+ months of John Bowden + Foundation  Training at Studio 108.  And I've gotta say: We are seeing RESULTS! I sat with John to hash over the why's and how's and what's and where's.  It's a super casual and very enthusiastic conversation about all things Foundation Training. And a perfect conversation for those who experience pain in their bodies -...

When it comes to health + nutrition, one of the most informed people I know is Studio 108's very own Leah Rachelle.  Leah teaches fitness, yoga + pilates reformer. She is a clinical counselor and a functional medicine health coach. She has studied herbalism + grows herbs locally at Oxbow Orchard.  And while Leah is quick to point out that she doesn't know everything, she does have a lot...

At Studio 108, we appreciate the multidimensional aspects of the human. Which is just a fancy way of saying: We're all about body, mind and soul as a connected holistic experience.   Today Kaley Tocco and I sit to chat about that mind-body-soul connection and how Thai Massage, Reiki and Access Bars are utilized to support folks in healing and growing and learning and being.  If you practice y...

In my neighborhood, the seasonal shift into spring means mulch around the trees and hanging baskets by the front door.  But at Oxbow Orchard, there's a whole lotta farm to get organized. So our local urban farmers Beth Lomske and Kyla Werlin are very busy birthing baby sheep, nurturing seedlings -  both vegetable and flower - planning community events and preparing the marketing for a summer...

After 23 years of service, one can liken Jog into Spring to Opening Day here in Independence! It's an event born of heart + soul as a gift. A gift in memory of a local mother + teacher in support of local students - some of whom practice here at Studio 108.  AND, you get to RUN!!  Ashley and Breanna  Roche sit with me today to tell the story of their mother and their family's non-profit...

When you think of psychologists, therapists, counselors, you expect them to be happy people. And often they are. But today I'm chatting with Dr. Holly Timberlake. And Dr. Holly is more than happy - she radiates. She glows. She is joyful and hanging out with her makes me joyful too. Today Dr. Holly and I talk about one of her favorite therapeutic strategies, Tapping. Dr. Holly explains this si...

It's always a pleasure to connect with Tom Jasinski. He's interesting and interested. And he's very caring. Today, Tom is a back in the Following hot seat with more insight + wisdom about life + self-awareness + the science of breath. You'll gain understandings about the impact your breath has on your health + wellbeing. You'll be encouraged to breathe deeper for an fuller...

You might chuckle when you here the Studio 108 Book Club mantra: "Just come: You don't have read the book!" But once you sit in circle with Book Club leader and published author Abby Dosen, you'll feel the welcoming and caring presence of a good friend. And you'll be glad you came!  Abby Dosen has practiced at the studio for a couple of years now. Like many, she appreciate...

Most women will admit that despite riding the waves of their hormones on a monthly, or even a daily basis, they know little about the health of their endocrine system.  Yes! Your hormones are produced + regulated by your endocrine system. Since - as women - our hormone health is cyclical across a month and across my lifetime, few women claim mastery. We remain humble and, sometimes confused, stude...

Actually, I haven't known Tom very long but he's the kind of guy that makes me curious.  He's got a personal presence about him. Grounded. Calm. Wise.  So I've been curious.  I mean, he practices Kundalini Yoga. So there's that!  But it was when Tom started leading Somatic Breath Work sessions at The Light: Wisdom and Wellness that I could truly see the fullness of who he...

Are you ready to expand and evolve your understanding of yoga?  The field of yoga therapy offers a researched-based lens of how the practices of yoga can support one in finding health and wellbeing in all aspect of the human experience.  It's an exciting time for this conversation and Studio 108 is pleased and proud to have one of its own staff-family members offering yoga therapy services to...

I was just introduced to someone who delights me!  So of course, I want YOU to meet her too! My friend introduced me to Nata. (Her cousin. My friend.) She said, "I'm always so happy to be around my cousin. She's coming in town over the holiday and you should talk to her."  I talked to her I found that to be true: I was so happy to be around her!! Nata is a mother and a healer....

I'm going to be honest. I went into this one blind. And I've gotta say: Worth it! Here's how it went: Someone I trust recommended that I talk to their friend about something called Foundation Training. I did a quick Google and noted two things: 1) Created by a chiropractor and 2) Reparative in nature.  That's all it took. I called John Bowden + set up an Intro to Foundation Tra...

The brilliant and lovely Anne Ondrey sat with me for a chat about Anxiety.  (Yeah, I capitalized that. It's become that big of a deal, that proper of a noun.) Listen in as Anne + I discuss our experiences + thoughts on this 'water' in which we are all swimming. And take note of how Anne brings the conversation back to the somatic embodiment and practice of self-awareness.  You will...

There's nothing more fascinating + fun to me than my aura! So I was giddy excited to sit with Jeanette Troiano of Auracle.  Jeanette has done a deep dive into aura technology + psychology. She has a state-of-the-art aura camera system that allows her to produce photographs of your aura.  And, she is educated and insightful in offering interpretation of the colors, shapes and forms captured in...
